This is what I found writing about about the Buell XB12STT,(my bike).

Like a heat-stroked renegade cowboy with a bad attitude, Buell's Lightning Super TT kicks open the doors of the saloon, smacks the barmaid on the "O Ring", downs a double-shot of liver-killer, lays a smoky burnout around the piano before rolling into the street, burning out sideways, flat track style, and heading due west into the sunset waving a middle finger in the air.

so Buell encourages Drinking and Riding

If that BS sells motorcycles, why not.

SLOWLY he rides off into the sunset waving wait for meeeee RC 51 makes yummy on buell. chill out king we know that the king has never had a cocktail at the local watering hole on a sunday ride! cause harley riders just never do that kind of stuff.

truth is your stereo types have failed you. While i will frequently imbibe and get in a car and offer ot kill everyone else...I have never and will never drink while riding.

That said I was more making fun of the ad than preaching...do what you do... I am pretty much as non judgemental as they come.

I don't even drink at all, That was a write up about the bike for a Mag that tested it. Not me... The Honda RC 51 is a get bike and the Buell can't do things that it can , but honda can't do things that the Buell can. They are not the same bikes.

I've gotta go with XB here... They're basically saying the Buell is a renegade bike, a hooligan, fun-loving, doesn't-take-itself-seriously bike. To be able to do that it's gotta be a good bike, but of course when it's got the Sporty engine in it it's not going to be as good as an RC51 or a TL1000R or an SV1000 at their particular strengths.
So guys, stop your bickering with drinking and riding and Harley-this and metric-that, alright?
And for the record, I'm a metric guy. I won't ride a Harley because it's not my bag. But they're not bad bikes.
Now a Buell is still a possibility...

Here is what that same writer wrote about the RC51,

The RC51 had good mid-corner stability and quick turn in capabilities.When you finally hit the meat of the powerband the RC51 begins to show its muscles. A set of throttle bodies with two injectors per cylinder make the power deceiving until you hit triple digits in second gear. If there's one thing that should be said over and over about this bike is that Honda makes riding a replica racer very easy, almost too easy.

If I could buy any bike and had the money for , It wouldn't be Buell, HD, Honda, Suzuki so on and so on. It would be a MV or a Benelli. But i am not rich and maint caost are very high on them, I wouldn't get the RC51 because of the maint cost. I want to be able to ride and have fun and I don't care what you ride , your riding thats all that matters.

Well I guess if you have to comare the Honda RC51 to something with a Harley motor it sould be the 2009 Roehr 1250sc.
