if i had $50k to spend it would be on the bike from tron...lol

i think the bull needs to make something like that just more affordable, it is a nice looking bike, and those headlights just not my style.

I'd have to agree it's the best looking Buell yet! Not too sure about that "rim-sized" front disc brake though?! I think I understand the "principal" behind it, but it's literally FUGLY! Bet that front wheel will be a royal bee-ach to clean too!

Looks like a Ducati who mated with a Half Gixxer / Aprilla

That exhaust us fugly though and looks dated.

Other than that though I kinda like it

I like the radical styling. The dual pipe, the way the exhaust is mounted, a lot of sharp lines, and those crazy wheels. Reminds me of what Confederate does with their bikes.

However for ~$45k, you can guaran-damn-tee that I'm getting a new car AND bike.

Mirrors look a little limp.

I like the buells. I like this one as well. But the price tag is outragous.

I'm not a big fan of the styling. The front brake seems to me (not certain, just seems to me) to be an example of style overcoming function, which I don't care for.

If I had $40 - 50k to light on fire, I'd demand a techno showcase, including 75 - 100bhp, but at 100+ mpg. And in something other than ridiculously boring and ugly shades of black.
