I probably did NOT get past 12K. It's funny, I was just skimming over an article on it this morning with the dyno sheet showing the powerband, and I was like DAMMIT, wish I'd read that beforehand, I'd have wound it up higher. :lol:

I was impressed though that the power just seemed really strong and smooth all the way up (but you also have to bear in mind what I'm coming FROM - something 13 years older and probably 100 lbs heavier :lol: )

Neebs, it sounds like an absolute blast!!! I'm with you on the Buell though... last time I test rode one I brought it back early.

:lol: Nick and I were like two blocks from the speedway, stopped at a light... I'm watching my front turn signals jiggle like they're made of jello (as were my innards) and Nick goes "Can we go back now???" We stuck it out, but only grudgingly. :lol:

Seriously :td:

I mean, I'm used to rattle... I have the bike with the eternally stuck gumball. But, damn. The guy asked me what I thought. I looked him right in the eye and said "At the end of the day, it's still just a Buell".

UPGRADE.

:lol: I really wanted to give it a fair shake (though it seems the reverse is what happened).... However, the girl in our group who got to ride the 1125 seemed to be having a GREAT time... she loved it (but then it's supposedly a completely different animal :shrug: )

:lol: Ohhhhhh yes, soon, soon!!
