I rode one yesterday. Albeit around a parking lot...but man, what a bike. I want one.

And shit, I would trade the Buell...but I do LOVE my Buell. My how my tune has changed in a few months.

Still looks and feels cheap to me. If it had a lot less plastic- like a steal fuel tank- and dropped 100lbs I maybe could get into it. It's HDs sad try to make a real sportbike.

Not really man. It's not even close to an attempt at a sportbike. I'm sure they are very sorry that every bike pales in comparison to your Ninja.

True! These hail back to when I owned a Harley. My friend had the cafe' bike Harley, an XLCR something I think, when I had my Sportster. That was a cool bike! Too bad they had so many problems with it. I may have gotten that instead of my V-Max.

The salesman I was working with on Saturday just called me. His boss gave him the OK to let me take it out on the road.
