What's your point? You can't beat Buell for bang-for-the-buck.

Most Triumph sport bikes use the single swing-arm design. But yes, I think the 955i is the most popular one. The silver one is the 955i. Check out the the black one in my last thread... yup that's Carbon Fiber baby.

While Ducati's, MV Augusta's, Aprilia's, etc. are nice, they can't outperform the big liters from Japan. Plus, they cost so much more, you can have a few for one. Plus, most people get it just for the status of having one. Whatever floats your boat though. 4 banger > Vtwin.

sorry...but I don't get euro bikes...especially italian bikes. more expensive, harder and more expensive to maintain, bested by *** bikes in most performance categories....

I guess it's they style? But like BMW and Audi...I also bet a lot of is marquee, and like ViewAskew sez "status".

Personally, I wished they had a naked version of the either the R1 or the CBR. I've always thought the suzuki was soooo beautiful...if only it were a bit bigger.

some euro bikes u have to ride to experience them and know what theyre about, sometimes what's on paper doesnt make the bike. Ducati's, although more expensive to buy and maintain, makes taking a corner more comfortable because of the ergos of the bike. The anchor points on the bike make riding it more confidence inspiring(hanging off).

What he said ^^^^. Plus there is the "wow" factor. How many of you wouldn't prefer a Ferrari or porsche turbo to a Z06, even though the Vette can easily keep up if not beat both and costs 1/2 to a 1/4 of money of those two. Exoticness and exclusivity are worth something.

People just bash Buells because they are american. As I've said before, you can't beat a Buell for bang-for-the-buck. And the torque those things make is insane.
