I love it! It's a ton of fun to ride and definitely brings out the Hooligan in you. Yes it's very nimble. It handles great but nowhere as stable and forgiving and easy to ride as my CBR600RR. It's definitely an expert's bike, not for the novice. I love the engine. It's very torquey and sounds amazing. I certainly would not pick it as my only bike, but for my situation it complements my "stable" nicely. :D

There are a bunch of Ducati guys run around the same backroads as we do . I love the looks of most of them but the Street fighter or the Motard would be the only ones I would buy. I also like the triumphs with Buell out of the game I will probably look at a Triumph again just because I can actually afford those :D

You mean the Street Triple?

I have always liked the Buell tubers from the mid to late 1990s. I would definitely buy one if the right one comes along.

After what that POS Wandell did to Buell and to the world of motorcycling, I hope he fails miserably.

That was truly a sad day for me but EB must have been just beside himself it looks like they dragged the guy out of bed.

Hyper I meant Street fighter Ducati the street triple triumph is a great buy but I would go with the speed triple triumph I like the 1050 grunt a little more.
I will own an x1 tuber opne day they are just gorgeous, my buddy has an S-3 that thing is really comfortable but the tubers don't handle near as well as the XB or 1125 models.
My CR is probably the best and funnest bike I have ever owned I thought the xb was great but the CR is just crazy power everywhere and flickable as they come. I got a barker pipe and the barker specific tune and I am around 140 to the rear wheel but its tourqey enough to run in 4th gear all day slow, fast, and faster. The naked style keeps me from going stupid fast as the wind will kick your arse a bit over a 120 I would say it gets pretty rough but thats fine with me . I would rather do 70 in a 30 in the twisties all day :mrgreen:
