eh? ive never had any problems working on I4s. probably easier in some cases. hell i had my hurricane less than 48 hours when i stripped it apart and swapped out every filter, plugs, wires, oil and just generally went over things. easy peasey

To be honest,it really doesn't matter to me what happens with this buyout. I'll probably never own a MV,HD or Buell. I'll never be able to justify the price tags of either the MV or HD and Buell's stying has never been to my taste. I keep dreaming that Polaris/Victory will come out with a "American" sportbike or that Moto-Czysz and/or Fischer can somehow produce a viable sportbike for around the same money as the Japanese.

i dont quite agree with this one either, i cant quite see the aprilia rsv-r as "assembled" however i do agree that id like to see motocyz and fischer make it though i still think that motocyz is reaching way too far in trying to make a viable racing team right off the bat. fischer def has a better plan...kinda like a buell lite
