Do it man, even if you don't like it, it's a free ride on a new bike.

Just curious, have you ridden the 1125 version, or just the air cooled models?

Less vibes, Longer powerband (redline at 10.5K) slightly different handling.

Also add hydraulic clutch and a slipper clutch.

You may still not like it, but at least give one a shot if you get a chance.
It bears some resemblance to my old SV650S as far as rideability etc.

Ok - sounds like 180 degrees from the bikes I rode and all the qualities I couldn't STAND.
Off to figure out where to test ride one (well, once the snow melts...again)

Thats a HUGE plus of Buell... they actually WANT you to try out their bikes!

I can go to most dealers around here and test ride whatever I want, I just have to FIND the Buell dealer
