Test Ride Ho Rides a Multi

[Bonster]

You had me at HP2 , and I forgot all about Buell.

I suppose I'm defining "performance motorcycle" in my own private and arbitrary way, but to me, if a bike weighs more than 500 lbs, it can be  very fast and most excellent, but it's not that.

Ducati seems to understand that building a heavier bike that would inevitably be even more ridiculously expensive wouldn't appeal to most Duc enthusiasts and wouldn't sell as well.

Friends don't let friends ride Buells.  Biggest POS bikes (fantastic handling until the high side) just about ever.  Massive electrical issues.  Oh and after 20k and five belt/pulley upgrades (preceeded by a flat bed tow truck) costing an average of 500.00 ea.  I sold/traded it my 2003 XB9r for 2k and a MK Skorpion.

I WILL NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN OWN A BUELL!  AND ERIK HIMSELF CAN KISS MY EVER LOVING ARSE.

 Even tho the HD motor is history? As well as the HD affiliation?
Rotax makes some pretty good motors........

Still an American electrical system......  Did I mention the two stators I also had to buy due to the stock headlights melting through the bezels and shorting out the electrical system?

BUELL POS!  and little will ever change my mind.
