Isn't a Buell just a Harley thats been dragged, kicking and screaming, into the twenty first century?

Before the weekend I would have said Buell, but I think they have really thought outside the box with some of their designs.

i wouldnt mind a harley in the garage...
a highly modded fat boy or other model soft tail.
that or a custom built chopper.

of that list above there is no brand in particular that i really like the least.
they all have models i dislike but then they have models i like

eg honda - cant stand the color schemes of the CBRs (the black is ok) but they are still a good bike and the VTR Sp1/2s are a great looking bike (IMO).

was never much of a suzuki fan but the K6 GSXR's are pretty cool.

i reckon the best looking sports bikes in order are zx10, 05/06 zx6, 05 R1, K6 GSXR1000/750.

i guess of that list i hate cagiva the most only cause the only time ive ever seen them on the road they were being ridden by cock heads.

My vote lays with Buell because they are too tall, Linked to HD and look like poo poo :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why did MV not get on the list??

Had MV been there i would have voted for that because the missus would never let me own one $$$$$ :wink:

From that list, there is only the buell to choose from I reckon. Although Eric has thought outside the box in terms of chassis design, he sure didn't think too long or hard by fitting it with a motor that wouldn't pull your brother off your sister. I think flaming hot with cams and head work and pistons and the like they make 120 at the wheel for a good one! :roll:

Before last Wednesday liked Buell's , but a bloke in Hamilton lost his life on one after , evidently , being blown off the road and running through a culvert . I know the wind was pretty wild as I rode the 9 down through Hamilton and on to Dunkeld same day . Was quite shocked to hear about it the next morning .In the past have seen the Fella cruising 'round Hamilton , worked as a mech in the local Honda joint , and looked competent on his ride . Such bad luck for him and his family . Be carefull you guys .

Cagiva, cause they dont even make their own engines (ala using the SV1000 engine) and their bikes are generally bad handling pigs with little substance 8)
