Eh, I'm not a hater. If I wanted a Harley I'd still go back there. My uncle has friends out west who say they were selling the crap out of Buells at their dealers before the current monetary woes.
And actually, they do. Krispy Kremes at that.  ;D



Never thought you were a "Hater". Those guys hide in the shadows.

You guys still have Krispy Kremes?  All of ours have closed.   :(
I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

Sorry but I'd quit riding before I buy American.

That is a silly statement. I do not care for the current offerings by Buell. It would be illogical to apply this to all future models by manufacturers Buell or otherwise that are, or will be, considered American.

I would rock a MotoCzysz C1 all day long!

Some day you might regret that statement.

The Buell has a nice engine, they are "close" to something I would buy.  Some Brembos and a cleaner radiator (getting rid of those shrouds) and I think they would be right there.  I still wouldn't consider it a track bike as long as it had a belt drive but for the street I could do a belt.

there's a conversion kit for the shrouds to full sides and a kit for belt to chain out there. add a new rim, ohlins, brembos and you got no more excuses.

Other than cost. Then... the streetfighter looks even more appetizing.

if the sf had a briggs and stratton engine i would take it over both. i owned a 07 tuono...what a miserable experience. as far as the buell it is just fugly.

Anyone have a pic of a ??Monstered?? (fixed) 1125?  The cost is a factor but now I am curious.

I would ride that thing in a heartbeat.   [thumbsup]  I wouldn't replace my monster with it, but me definitely likey.  [moto]



Especially with a big-inch engine cammed up all silly-like.  [evil]  [thumbsup]
