Gotta say... I fuckin love that bike. I usually dont love the spacey, real Euro looking designs, but that shit is cool. A bit of a Confederate Wraith wannabe, but very cool none the less. If I was a rich man...
 
Yeah thats how I feel too... normally this kinda stuff doesn't get me too excited, but it def reminds me of a confederate. The headlight is pretty crazy, I will have to see if I can find any pics of it.
 
Somebody should let Whitexk know that Buell copied his bike!

At least that's what it reminded me of.

Awesome bike minus that bulky front end! WTF? It looks like cinder blocks for forks!

Normally I would agree, but I think they did something right up there, cause apparently it is better than the stock buell front end. I think Girder fronts are all the rage right now as well.

This is what Magpul had to say about the suspension

"Cast aluminum fork legs increase lateral stiffness
Comparable in weight to a telescopic fork, including the radiator
Linear axle path mimics a telescopic fork for familiar handling and feedback
Front suspension action is plush yet controlled under braking
Suspension resists “standing up” while cornering on the brakes
Single monoshock damping unit is easier to tune and provides less stiction than traditional telescopic forks
Bike exhibits lighter, more fluid steering than stock Buell,
Link des allows Increased trail (97mm, 13mm more than stock Buell 1125r)
to be used with the steep steering angle of the stock Buell frame
2.3:1.0 travel ratio with rising rate linkage provides excellent damping characteristics throughout the range of travel"
 
all that sounds great, but it looks like an elephants ass!

I am all about performance, but they need to find a way to do all that with out it looking so bulky and blocky!

Put some speed holes in it!
 
Wouldn't that be good. These are beautiful bikes. Found it here too.

Yep I like it. It's mean. It's not pretty. It's fucking tough. And you won't have the problem of running into another one at bike night. Kinda like when two chicks show up wearing the same dress.
 
+1^^ Exactly my thoughts... It is not a pretty bike, there is nothing beautiful about it except the craftsmanship... it is however angry, mean, and menacing looking... kinda like it will hurt you if you play too rough... a pet elephant if you will... and if you look at a good side profile the front really looks like an elephants trunk, hunched and ready to charge. Thats why I think it is bad ass... not pretty

Oh yeah... did anyone mention that Magpul when not doing this, makes weapons by day. FUCKING BADASS
 
Here ya go! I do business with these guys on a fairly regular basis... cool guys, great products!

I like!

I'd like to see the front end a little less... radiator shaped.

OTOH, the protruding square front end makes it look like some kind of open-mouthed half robot space insect devouring any other bike in its way.

I'd definitely ride this bike.
