They did, it was a rod issue. I believe its done for those out now.

Really? Why? There is no doubt that the two Euro bikes have more power and better brakes. Also, there can be little doubt that the Buell has a more comfortable seating position. You're getting off a bike that could be had for $5,000 brand new recently and sitting on two that are pushing $20,000. To me that would be like getting out of a Cobalt SS and into a Alfa Romeo or BMW M3... Opinions are subjective but numbers are not. You can certainly feel and/or even say that you think that your Buell is a better bike than these two but...well...

You know what? You're right. In fact, I test drove a 'Vette last week and my Mustang Gt is a much better car! Yep...much better, I'll just keep telling myself that....

You're missing my point but whatever.

Okay, well what is your point? I made some basic ASSumptions as far as ergos, power, brakes, etc between the bike you own and the two Euro bikes... other than ASSuming anything, where did I go wrong?

The beemer is proving itself just fine in Superstock 1000. It needs to get rid of one of the two over hill riders and put someone who can do something on one of those rides, namely Xaus.

Aryton will hopefully replace Xaus next season since he is now 5 for 5.

Biaggi is just lucky Spies went to Moto GP.
