But in all reality even from the earliest days there has always been advancments in tecnology even like going from drum brakes to rotors was hugh, you have brake rotors dont you? See thats technology your bike has. And isnt the motors Sarnail is referring to used to race flat-track? Or in board track racing?

![]() No, I AM for the incompairision, if its competitive. I think after watching the Daytona sportbike class and them adding to the weight of the buell its made it closer. What I am for is close racing, no matter how they go about it as long as it fair. Thats what I like being fair, nothing wrong with that. Is it perhaps the fact that most everyone here loves Harley/Buell and I dont?

![]() Hi Mr. Buell,
Would you build a XL based cafe racer, please? 17" - 18" tires, clip-ons, bikini fairing, you know, all that '70's stuff. Here's a webpage if you're looking for inspriation: hogbitz - splash page I'd do it myself but I'm kind of tied up with an R5B at the moment. Thanks!

It would be a hoot to build. However, I've had to come to grips with my gross lack of mechanical skills. I can install accessories all day long, but that's about it.

But that's the beauty of the Sporty. You don't need a lot of mechanical skill. Just a hammer, vise grips and some baling wire and you've got the sporty covered. Few people know this but it was designed to make inroads into the Iron Curtain countries. This required a bike that could be maintained by drunken fertilizer plant workers. All hail the proletariat!
