Actually, I've ridden a ducati...a monster 600...for about a week. Talk about totally underwhelmed. It's true, I haven't driven an Aprillia or any other italian bikes, but my week with the ducati convinced me it's more about namebrand than performance. same **** with audi and volvos. Comparing a monster 600 to an sv650, the monster fails in every aspect, including ergonomics.

but that's just me...I'd take an accord over a jetta...and if a vetter outperformed a ferrari, I'd take it over the ferrari, cause I could care less about the image.

just wondering who all knows what they are talking about???

dont go bashing bikes if you havent ridden them or if you dont have the facts straight.

-buells are extremely fun, there is something about a harley motor in a sportbike that just makes you smile. granted, they are underpowered, but they are very stable in turns
-before bashing on the cbr 1000rr have you checked the WSB or AMA points? Hondas are doing very well

another thing is ..... well, all bikes are cool. If the only bike i could ride was a moped i would do it and have fun doing it.

That being said, i put my deposit down for the black 05 pictured 2 days ago

thank you, buell's are awsome bikes. yes not as "sporty" as some but it could still be with it in the turns. it has tourqe.
