Got a little of the elitist ribbing but a lotof people dont even know what an aprilia is so I guess that keeps me off the hook.

one guy on a harley tried to be bad ass and says hey nice rice rocket, I say hey dickhead its italian. The guys riding with him all started laughing at him

Aprilias are the best bikes, because not only are they the best-looking, but people don't thumb their noses at them like they do with Ducatis.

They dont seem to have that same mystique as ducatis do for some reason, so I guess it makes them a little less snobbish so to speak.

Yea one of the NEW ones for a cruising around bike, I definitely don't see it as a replacement for my GSXR.

Huh? Dude, I'm just pulling examples of naked/semi-naked bikes. I'm definitely not trying to start a new argument about some other basically boutique bike. Who cares?

Compare the Buell to any bike you want with a 1125+ motor and draw your own conclusions. I picked all bikes with less cc's off the top of my head in the middle of the night. The comparison FB posted was with the Tuono, 1125CR and the Ducati Streetfighter. Personally, I honestly believe that a SV1000 would take the Buell in a straight up contest with similar mods but that's just me being a Suzuki fan boy!

I was just kidding after reading your passionate post.

At the current prices I admit...I'd buy one if I was in the market for a bike.

Hell yeah. I'd ride a Buell for the price they are going for now. They can't be THAT bad. ANYTHING with 2 wheels is fun.
