Does a fork setup like that count as a leading link or is there another classification for it?

All that effort around that paintshaker of a motor seems like a waste, but it's a hell of a conversation starter

This is why Buell keeps going out of business, FYI. Erik might know what he's doing in a shop but he's a loving terrible businessman. The people who understood this campaign already knew whether or not they were buying a Buell, and to everyone else it was "why are they crushing their own motorcycles? Are they really bad? I'd better not buy one..."

So, does the oil filter nipple just drain oil all over the exhaust pipe? Seems like that exhaust wrap is going to get saturated pretty fast.

Hahahahah that is amazing.

The seat on my tuono has a raised spine to keep you from sliding back at warp speed or whatever, and it extends back into the pillion "seat". Without fail, all of my most beavis & butthead friends have immediately pointed it out and guffawed how women must love it. I took my ex on it a few times and she loving hated it.

Erik and friends hated being told by H-D to make a cheap starter bike because they wanted to keep pretending they were Ducati Corse. In my opinion, they kinda half-assed the design (it would have been possible to put a balance shaft in the engine, for instance, if they'd pushed for it) and that's part of why it was so poorly rated by serious motorcyclists. When they were finally allowed to cancel it, they gleefully crushed their remaining stock and made that ad campaign to demonstrate how much they hated it.

Then Buell went out of business three more times and continued not winning anything, because they don't understand that all the big manufacturers support their racing programs by selling oodles of mundane but functional entry-level bikes that get people interested in the brand.

The Blast (and descendants) could have saved the brand but Erik was snotty about it, and that ad campaign is the perfect encapsulation of his attitude.

On the mechanical front, he’s lowered the C evolution, taking out the shock absorbers to make it fully rigid. 
So I don't know anything about drag bikes, but wouldn't a rigid rear end handle like poo poo when launching?

A rigid rear helps with anti-wheelie and keeps the geometry dialed to a specific amount.
