Well if you wanna get technical...no one NEEDS one. But the torque is so much fun.

Nope, but I've ridden the SV650S. I liked it a lot actually. My thing was, it needed too many immediate mods just for me to be happy/comfortable with it (i.e., it was definitely designed for someone shorter than I am, my knees just hit at a weird/uncomfy spot on the tank).

The torque on a Buell is UNBELIEVABLE. It's dead flat and monstrous. Think about 83 ft lbs of torque.....and almost all of it available directly off idle. THAT is a fun bike.
