i just saw it while i watched the 125 GP that i recorded from our PVR.

it says "own the corners"

wow! they totally lacked originality there. i wonder who their promotional director is.

before some of you get pissed, im not attacking buell as a whole, just the commercial and slogan they use.

Of course I'm biased because I love my Buell... but there is a reason they say "own the corners" and I think "own the corners" was around before "own the racetrack"

Anyway, check this out...

I have that issue of Bike magazine. Interesting to see some of the choices in there.

Of course, they also have a section on the 'Worst Cornering Bikes'

I like the British biking magazines far more than the NA rags. The Brits don't pander to the manufacturers or their advertisers. They actually tell it like it is.

That is sooo true. "SuperBike" is one of the best mags i've read. The fact that the brit mags aren't censored the way NA ones are makes it better too.

Buell's are designed around weight centralization and lowering. This just makes them easier to flick around a corner without all that heavy gas sitting far above the engine, and exhaust metal hanging off the side they are better suited to taking corners fast. Plus the big v-twins make a lot of torque out of the corners.

I suppose that if anyone had the right to say, "own the corners they do."
