And shit, I would trade the Buell...but I do LOVE my Buell. My how my tune has changed in a few months.

Still looks and feels cheap to me. If it had a lot less plastic- like a steal fuel tank- and dropped 100lbs I maybe could get into it. It's HDs sad try to make a real sportbike.

I'm not likely to ever own one, but I would ride it. It is the only Harley that I would really consider owning.

Not really man. It's not even close to an attempt at a sportbike. I'm sure they are very sorry that every bike pales in comparison to your Ninja.

True! These hail back to when I owned a Harley. My friend had the cafe' bike Harley, an XLCR something I think, when I had my Sportster. That was a cool bike! Too bad they had so many problems with it. I may have gotten that instead of my V-Max.

The salesman I was working with on Saturday just called me. His boss gave him the OK to let me take it out on the road.

I like this bike... I wonder if the dealership would let me ride one for shits.

Can't hurt to ask. I don't see why they wouldn't.

I bet they would. After all, you did just buy two bikes from them.
