No shit it looks likes Marko's...And I havent exactly taken the time to bother looking at the front rotor of a Buell...It just stuck out in the one picture...

I realize they all use the same one I just didnt realize it was that big/thin

I would like to add the only thing I don't like about the buell is the front brakes, I am waiting on a set of pads that are supposed to fix it, but they are inconsistent and very prone to fading at a mildly brisk pace

I haven't had an issue, but I use engine braking a lot, even on the track. My instructor yelled at me
Good thing it's got a slipper clutch, cause I abused the shit out of it that day!

i tend to ride a gear higher on the buell and use the torque more then i did on the rc, so the engine braking isnt as noticeable on the buell

I downshift instead of braking

Gotta love hearing that drummer bark!

I'm still almost all stock so its sewing machine quite, I'm starting to enjoy it lol
That being said I'm looking at the barker exhaust when I get back from my cc trip.
Are you getting any pot marks on your front rotor?

yeah, there are some marks on the rotor, and a bit of surging. take a scrub pad to it and it's all better.
Which exhaust you looking at getting?

I ordered a set of lydell pads and they should take care of the surging and brake dust issue
I'm looking at a barker exhaust, looks more buell then the others in the price bracket below drummer, I really like the TH though
