Oo0martelle0oO Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Today comming down 270 around 4:45-5 I saw what I thought was a Buell but I can find anything about it. The bike was flat black and minimal on body panels, to small headlights Sounded nothing like a street bike more like a Harley which made me think it was a Buell. Awesome Bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 any more description? Newer...older...wheel color? Ducati Monster maybe? Could you tell if it was water cooled? I love a good guessing game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemosley01 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Might have been Tolli. He rides a flat black bike that has been streetfightered. Did it have an undertail with LEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oo0martelle0oO Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I know nothing about bikes. This is the closest thing I could find http://www.bartelsharley.com/images/2006%20Buell/buellmain.jpg The bike I saw had no markings on it the wheels we'll couldnt see much of that when your being pasted at 90-100 mph. It had a larger bronze color exhaust the came off right side. Did I mention it was flat black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemosley01 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Martelle, did it have funky green wheels and the rider was kind of skinny? I saw a bike kind of matching your description on Tuttle Crossing today that had green wheels. Maybe a triumph speed triple, but I didn't notice if it had the dual cans on it. I only saw the left side. http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/4527.aspx I'm still thinking it is some street-fightered jap bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oo0martelle0oO Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 No I think the wheel had a gold/Yellow Lip. It wasn't a ducati or a triumph unless they have a bike that sounds like a Harley. I still think it was a Buell. The exhaust didnt flow out the back of the back it had on muffler under the body exiting on the right side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Denim Black Harley Night Rod? http://www.milehigh-harley.com/newbikes/2007/2007_VRSC/2007_VRSCDX_Night_Rod.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 It wasn't a ducati or a triumph unless they have a bike that sounds like a Harley. I still think it was a Buell. Any large displacement V-Twin can sound like a harley, yes even a ducati or a triumph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oo0martelle0oO Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ok I found it It was a buell Firebolt it looked exactly like this http://sportrider.com/bikes/2004/146_04_d3zoom+2004_buell_xb12r_firebolt+front_right.jpg Except it was all black more of a flat black includeing the windscreen. I dont remember the wheel being that gold/orange and it was completely badgeless (Buell wasn't on the tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
