There is so much perfection to bikes these days. Flawless injection, stable and consistent handling, same exhaust note (at least the I4s), just no character.
Don't get me wrong I am not saying the Buell line is flawed, but it has character, it has individualty, it has style like bikes of old, you know your riding a mortorcycle not a 2 wheeled Honda Accord.

Yes it has it's quirks. Yes it has a ton of character. But don't think this isn't a refined motorcycle either. It's very easy to ride. The FI has a slight abrubtness right from closed throttle...and once past that it is all but flawless (when the engine is hot). Cold is a different story.
You should buy one.
