If you liked Bush you'll looooove Hillary.

Anyhow it's a fool's game to think that either party is less criminal or corrupt than the other. no matter who wins you will be screwed anyhow.

It could always be worse. I see that Rob Reiner is going to run for Kalif Gov in the recall. Guess those guys who thought you couldn't find anyone worse than Grey Davis were wrong. Maybe Fidel should run, too.

Yep you make a good point.

I never said couldn't. I said didn't. People like you that believe their own bullshyt are just amazing.

I thought Arni was running for cali gov.

Rob Reiner would make Ghandi look like a fascist

Kpaul,

I have been riding since I was a little kid, both racing and recreational riding. (I'm 31 now). I'm very sorry I missed mentioning those 2 important issues which you raised, though I did touch on comfort a bit. Yes, I'm smaller than you. 5'8" and 180. The Buell is smallish. As I stated, when you sit on it, you feel as though you are on top of it. The sensation is rather odd at first. My riding pal is 6'3", 260lbs. He also prefered the comfort of the Honda, saying he could ride all day on it. Not so with the Buell, but in fairness to Buell, it clearly was not designed as an all day highway cruiser. The transmission on the Honda was ALOT smoother than the Buell, though I wouldn't say the Honda had the greatest, or smoothest tranny I had ever used. It was just better, smoother, and more refined than the Buell. No mis-shifts on either bike, though it felt like on the Buell you had to make sure it was in gear...you had to make sure your shifts were more robust. Defintely more effort shifting the Buell. Buell could work on this area. Again KPaul, thanks for the kind words and thanks for bringing up points than most riders would find useful. If I can help with anything else, or offer other unbiased reviews please let me know.

I live in Canada. Which is why I put CDN after the prices.

Greg,

The Buell has better mileage, but thruth be told, when the Honda was ready for fuel, you NEEDED or WANTED a break on the Buell. I didn't think the Buell had all day comfort. Thanks for the comments.

I'm sorry, but did I miss it? Which Buell did you compare to the Honda?
