Yeah then maybe I'm just not made for Buells (or KTMs for that matter!)

Awesome analogy, and yet... hmmmm... nope, not for me. I'll stick to the smooth power of the Yamaha.

Before you lump the KTM in with the Buells you'll have to take it for a spin! (If I ever get the fucking thing running again)

The new Zuk that looks like the B-King is not the Gladius, it's the euro-only GSR-600. The Gladius looks like a bastard stepchild of a cagiva raptor and some gay guys walk-in closet.

I have a sick, twisted love affair with suicide clutch bikes. I've ridden one jockey shift, a '53 45ci Harley, and one suicide shift bike, a rat rod rebel 450. I am thinking of doing a garage chop on an old XS650 and making it suicide shift. It scares people.
