If you’re looking for a rare American sportbike that’s both unique and features the kind of styling that immediately inspires strong emotions, look no further than this 2009 Magpul Ronin 47. For those unfamiliar, just 47 of these bikes were crafted by Magpul engineers after American sportbike manufacturer Buell first went under.
The group purchased 50 Buell 1125R machines from dealers with excess inventory in 2010, then turned them into what you now see before you as part of the Magpul Ronin Project. Each of the 47 bikes was named for one of the 47 ronin of Japanese legend. This bike is number 37 and bears the name Oishi Nobukiyo both in details on the bike and also on the small wooden tool case that houses a multitool that came with the original purchase.
