Everything is stupid expensive these days.

I have a strange feeling that part of it was from the racing success... These races were won with a Rotax engine, not a Harley product. Maybe if Harley spent some time to advertise and to make the engines that were really needed for the Buell line they would have sold more machines.

Now all the custom work I was thinking of doing to my old 03 XB9R is out the door, got to make it as stock as possible since it was the first year of the new frame/tank design, I might just have a collectors piece. I am a little concerned with the parts supply for this machine.

Maybe Fischer will try to license the frame tech and put the kind of engine needed into this frame. At least I can hope for something like that.
