Buell already comes with a story built into the platform. That distinctive frame and packaging -- how each builder interprets it is where the personality explodes out. I love a feature lining up nine of them, since it really conveys how different each builder's aesthetic is. Being the odd one out is exactly what leaves so much room for customization.

Buell used to be under Harley's umbrella, right?

Buell's quirky packaging still looks fresh even by today's standards.

People love to hype it up as one-of-a-kind, but I wonder how the actual ride quality was received.

Curious which Buell model each of the 9 bikes is actually based on.

Calling Buell the black sheep of American bikes really fits.

That distinctive frame on Buell-based customs is exactly where a builder's skill shows.

Sounds like it demands a totally different approach than Harley-style customs.
