The XB mill is designed to vibrate at idle, when the rev's get over 3k the vibrations stop. Not for everyone, but I never thought it was an issue. I was waiting for the 1125 to be released. The design doesn't work for me. The pods are functional, but most seem to think they detract from the overall look of the bike. Why not form & function? Plenty of bikes have nicely integrated side mounted radiators...Superhawk, VFR, etc. It's not like it's a new idea. Now that HD owns MV, maybe Erik can access that wonderful Italian styling dept. This is a nicely styled photochop of the pods on an 1125R. If this was real it might be in my garage. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/452218.jpg
