Seems like a few people own one of these as their second bike/toy!

Ahh Yes... The BEAK of Contention~!

many a Buell Forum has the I Love/Hate it discussion... as CentralOzzy said, "I know....it looks strange, but you do get used to the look eventually"

Cheers.

In the latest issue of Canadian biker they really don't have much good to say about this bike. Quirky handling and an extreme seat height combined with a high center of gravity they said..... Too bad as I want to like this bike.

If I had it I would lower it 2" or so with some trick Air-shocks.

I rode it for 100 Kays the other day & even at Speed, the bike handled great for me....in fact I was surprized!!

In my opinion, there is nothing big to dislike that can't be modified.

I read the same article, some of the complaints included the limited turning ability due to the wide frame and short steering locks. And the "vague" front end.

Though they did tout it as a wheelie machine.

Yes, the LOCK (Turning circle ) is bad, but not a big problem when you get used to it.

YES it is a wheelie machine! Eh Narty?

I'm SHYTE at "Wheelies", but This Thing Power Wheelies into Third Ifya Flick the Clutch.

I Love it... It has a Name... CentralOz Named It.. (I Named his RoadKing a ways back btw)... BRUTUS... n It Fuc&*ng IS a BRUTE.

I have More Mods.. but With the Jardine Pipe n Such... She HOWLS... Sure It's Tall... Well GET OVER YA FEAR FACTOR LADS~!!!

I Own a Kwaka Z1B 900 Too btw.. n I'd MUCH Rather Throw BRUTUS Into a 60K Corner at 120+_ than IT.

That Canadian Write-UP is "AN OPINION ONLY" .... I can Point ya at 4 OTHER Bike Mags that HAIL the JOY of the Ugly...
My Opinion is the Tester was a Pissant Short-Arse that had a Fright at Low Speed..WHICH ALL Owners HAVE...
Till they Figure the Centre of Gravity "IS" at Their Ball-Sack.

There's Me 2cents Folks.

I Care Not..you Donna Own a Buell.... n Prolly NEVER WILL Your a Sheeple...Maybe.
I've Owed n Owned Both (this I OWN Outright) ....All Past Bikes were Fast Jappers..n I've Ridden HEAPS of Harleys...Mostly CentralOzzies bte...ta fer that Bro.
