Got this one through yesterday from someone who I heard might show up sometime. Check out Mark's Buell. Here's his email:

"Hi there. I noticed there were no Aussie Buells on your site so would like to include a couple of pics of mine. It's a great site you have built. Its great to see a few pics of our pub (The Bearded Dragon) on it. I am a BIG lover of the naked bikes & fell upon a copy of the UK Streetfighter mag about 6 months ago & now purchase regularly. Keep up the good work & let me know what you think.
I am still on the look out for new foot controls & the custom spray
jobbie is on the way. I have had the bike for 3 years & done some modifications & PLENTY of polishing & also put the new shortened tail unit on which makes it look the bollocks."

LOL Chad...

I like it... Looks like a LOT of work has been done... Back in about 1999 or so when I had NO IDEA what a streetfighter was, a mate of mine bought a Buell and I just fell in love with it immediately. I guess my brain was trying to tell me "nekid is goood".

Nice machine.... is it Turbo ? Or is that just a speccy filter hanging out ?

Naaaah, the air filters there for looks mate ........................., helps to hide THAT motor :D

But apart from that it looks pretty good. Is the USD original? and how is it for vibration.

Love Buells with a passion, still get a tear in my eye when I think about my '98 Cyclone I traded in on the Busa. I reckon the earlier tubers are better lookers than the XB's.

Hey there Mark, I had a very restless sleep last night. Couldn't stop thinking about Buell's. Only a couple of months ago I had the opportunity to swap my Busa for a XB12S, I sweated over the deal and kept the Busa (just though).

My old M2 Cyclone on a cold start using the choke would 'walk' along the driveway using the side stand as a crutch. You couldn't turn your back on it. And you had to go at least 80kph before you could use the mirrors, no doubt you know what I mean.
