NikoFab Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Only 47 will be made.

ucw458 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Funny they would use the term Ronin. The term means a disgraced samurai without a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconro Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 ^^^^ I think that's what they were going for. A way to honor the end of Buell. Looks pretty sweet. They took the street fighter look to a whole new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 i really like the front rotor being mounted to the outer of the rim and having the caliper on the inside. Different looking but nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Based on the old japanese story/legend of the 47 Ronin...? Ronin just meant masterless Samurai, a warrior with no army or allegiance. The disgrace part comes from the idea that Samurai should die before their master, as they existed only to serve that master.. I'm wondering how the gun company Magpul is involved, I like everything Magpul makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuze Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) :lol: Fer serious. I trained under Grandmaster Irving Soto, Atemi Ki Do academy, 33rd street NYC circa 1997.
