So ugly. and uncomfortable looking

 

[thrstrmech]

once again Magpul not creating anything original and destroying another perfectly good motorcycle...47 former 1125's and now an 1190...freaking tard!

 

[BambamXB12r]

It will be interesting to see how it does in the race.

 

[Restlessrustler]

I like them but not the price, and I agree a waste of alot of them. In my opinion its a marketing ploy to secure more buyers for the remaining of the 47....they kinda stalled.

 

[303xb]

They're selling the bikes as fast as they produce them. Absolutely stunning bike. This release (and several other one offs) are all part of the series of 47.

 

[Restlessrustler]

There has been a minor surge but look....its been awhile and ...http://www.the47.com/the47/

27 left of the 47 ronin....not good odds

 

[303xb]

They haven't built all 47. They are building one at a time in a series. The production garage is in north Denver. Super cool guys

 

[rchuff]

The bike is not all that bad but and I do say but the front end looks like shit. Jusy my 2 cents.

in 61 years i've seen some of the most aesthetically beautiful mass produced bikes in the world being built.
in 61 years i've seen some of the most aesthetically appalling and painfully ugly bikes in the world being built.
top of my personal "brutally painful to gaze upon" list has always been the lowly 1986 Suzuki Madura 1200. an unadulterated abortion using the Cavalcade touring bike V-4 in an ill-conceived frame to compete with the V-Max. destined for failure before ever leaving the factory. it is generally considered among both dealers and enthusiasts to be the ugliest mass-produced bike in history. i have bumped it down to #2 and replaced it with the MagPul Ronin.

47 is considered mass production these days?

 

[stamen]

I think its fugly

never said or inferred that it was.

at the bottom of the page linked by the OP - there's a link for an interview Jay Leno does with the Ronin guy and then Jay takes a ride on the ronin. it's a good interview. Buell gets some good press as well. (Jay owns a Buell); i enjoyed it.[up]

 

[Enemy Zero]

Please, oh please god sell all of these off and get on with it so I don't have to see these horrendous looking bikes anymore. Seems every day someone is posting either here or on any of the other multitude of other Buell pages "hey have you seen this? It's called the Ronin!"

Let's just all agree to please let it quietly go away. I'll probably get flamed for this but honestly I thought it was ugly then and it's ugly now.

Damn skippy! Abomination is what I refer to them as, along with a HUGE waste of money, time and resources.

[oh9bolt]

I've never even heard of that bike before. So they are all chopped up 1125's?

 

[Cherry_Bomb]

Who cares what magpul does. If they want to spend their money and time on redesigning bikes than so be it. I may not like the design 100 percent but I certainly give them credit for capitalizing on the opportunity to buy the bikes in bulk when Buell originally went out of business. If anything, its more publicity for the Buell platform so stop whining. I don't see anyone ever complain what Lingenfelter, Shelby, SLP or maybe Hennessy does to oem vehicles...

 

[Lusiphur]

I think the reason you don't hear people complain about what Lingenfelter, Shelby, SLP and Hennessy do to OEM cars, is most people think they improve the OEM.

I think the front fork of the Ronin, just like the Confederate Wraith, is hideous.
