The torque curve of the 675 is very linear and builds steadily like most inlines.
The Buell curve is funny. It is close to peak at around 2700, then falls on it's face and doesn't get back into the 70's until around 5500.
FACT.
With the Buell, you're best served to keep it between 2000-2700 or between 5500-6750. Either way it is a narrow window.

There are NO flat spots when you're riding it, and it pulls hard from 2500-7100 in every gear.
FACT
The window is far from narrow, as the bike revs slower than a short stroke 4. The only problem I have with the power band is that it doesn't drop anywhere, so I find myself hitting the limiter from time to time, since it just pulls hard all the way to it..
