Very cool topic, w/perfect timing. I'm looking at a Buell also, to go w/my ZX14. It's either that or a KTM Supermoto. Still on the fence.

Test rode an XB12S Lightning and an XB12X Ulysses this past Monday. A LOT of cool. The engine, I just can't decide on. Love some aspects of it. Not much for others.

Still thinking, and waiting to see about the new KTM's...

Don't forget the "automatic independant seat height adjustment" on the early Hayabusa collapsing subframes.

Also don't forget the hell gone through for about a year and a half by owners trying to convince Suzuki to do the right thing,a and recall them.

kpaul is going to ride the Daytona 675 and the Buell Firebolt XB-12R. Britian vs the U.S. Triple vs Twin, Modern British power vs. classic American muscle. Both have two year warranties, character, unique, etc. I'll send MO the pictures and results...

A dealer here has the KTM950 Supermoto. A very cool bike. Riding position extremely comfortable. All the reviews I have seen are very favorable. Lots of motor too. I may just have to flip a coin!

Yeh, me too. I'm waiting for the new 690 SM. The singles are a good bit cheaper, ultra-light, and too much fun. They're also much better, if you actually ride in the dirt. All cool stuff!
