Thumbs way up on that Buell, carabuser.

I would love to give it a go. I believe, though, after all is said and done, it is still too physically small for a lot of us larger guys to ride for everyday or over the road trips.

A bit pricey, too.

The KTM SuperDuke is a strong contender however as it is a larger frame bike although it only weighs 420 lbs.

Also the Mission is a larger bike with a longer wheelbase and one I would like to ride with potential to replace (blasphemy, I know) my current machine. Also pricey and quick charging stations would be necessary for anything over about a 160 mile trip.

Gonna ride a SuperDuke this spring, I think. But not currently considering a "trade" without an unbelievable incentive or deal on the "trade". Then too, the SuperDuke would require some sort of flyscreen, at least, as it is a "naked" bike and the riding position might be too upright for me; I require a ZX-14R-like riding position including the low bars.

Buell isn't too far away from me; maybe I can visit the source this summer. If I do, I'll try to get some pics.

Cheers.

Well, damn! Lookey here, I stole a page!

Hey Paul, how's it going ? Yea, I would never buy a Buell, but like you said, it would be interesting to take it for a little ride, I agree, it would be to small and cramped for me and my many medical problems LOL !

That new KTM is one hot bike, that's for sure, still might be a little cramped for me though ....

I think I will keep my 14R haha.... Oh yea, you took page 3, like a Ninja !!!

Take care, and ride safe, but fast !!!

Evo engine family built from 1984 till 1999. Evo's never had a kick start. I can't tell if this is a 4-sp trans or an aftermarket kicker? I'm going to guess it's a 4sp not the evo 5sp. I doubt there are any aftmrk asian kicker pawls that can withstand more than 50 kicks before the pawls each each other in a 5sp kicker conversion... Ask me how I know?

Anytime you yapanknees diss the twin of torque, the ratbike has to prove you, you... Get it now?

That hilarious Hub !!! Can I race him, can I race him, can I race him ?????? Please, please please ?????

Ahhh... It's all about the rider they say... True enough it is. I however would willingly step into that position with money on the table. You won't out ride this young punk. Looks like Squid-0 Outdated Machinery-1

I love that new Superduke, as well. As far as naked bikes, its only beaten by the new Kawi Z1000.

This Harley is getting torqued! And its Hardley movin' at the same time. Talk about low RPM torque monsters!
