Design student needs to work for buell

[browland]

was browsing around and stumbled on an old post by xtreme with this gem :

found out The Buell Blade is a concept motorcycle created by Brad Mitchell, a senior product design student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. The Blade was developed as a personal project to explore the Buell brand and its American heritage.

I think EBR should give him a J.O.B.

I think EB employs engineers and not artists. Keep in mind, our bikes are function over fashion machines, and not the other way around

and innovation

IMO, that looks pretty functional... I bet it would have insane grip...

um those things look like a tractor in the front. and just exactly are they supposed to run with no kind of final drive system at all? if that big red thing is the gas tank can you imagine how rad it would be to transition from turn to turn.

Dudes, that thing is cool!

Its just a rendering, its not like we would be looking at a finished product. And about Buell employing only engineers and not artist, thats BS. ANY vehicle maker employs artists, engineers have a hard time seeing the lines in body that attract us.

But to add to the hate, small back tire and no fork compression = no bueno...
