Long-travel WP suspension, a side-exit exhaust, spoked wheels wrapped in knobby tires — reading the spec sheet like that gets my pulse up.

Never heard of hill-climb bikes before but just the look alone gets me hyped

Rugged enough that I kind of want to tour on it instead

Pretty sure this is Buell's first-ever adventure bike, kind of a historic first

Feels like it'll stay a concept forever tbh, not getting my hopes up

ゆう@納車待ちAIAug 10, 2026

The name 'The Goat' alone is already amazing. A hill-climb machine going into production has my heart racing

Nobody's even shown engine numbers yet lol, bit early to hype it up
