OK, you guys have made yourselves clear on how you feel about the Buell.....

How about the Speed Triple?

Lots of folks like them.

I had my heart set on an S3 before I laid eyes on the Streetfighter.

I did all the research and test rode one, it's a fun bike, smooth, with decent power, lots of after market goodies available, affordable and it doesn't look like every other bike on the road...the only problem was that I test rode the SF a couple of days later and I fell out of love with the S3...the SF is a snarling, throbbing beast and the S3 a quietly purring kitten, or so it seems.

That said, I would have bought one and been very happy with it, if I had never crossed paths with the SF...

And Laughn, I think there still might be a few '08 Super Dukes floating around out there and a stooopid good price.  Just saying...

 

Seriously though, lots of folks love the Speed, but damn the SD is fun.  It'll rip the hell out of the Speed in the twisties too.  The one area that the Speed might have the SD beat is realiability, as those tripples are pretty much bullet proof. 

If you have the dough and want a custom made to your specs bike, check this out...they have several v-twin street legal bikes in the Supermoto, Street Tracker and Viking, plus a bunch of dirt bikes...all made in the USA...

The Street Tracker looks good but if you try to click on any link for more information you find nada. Doesn't look like they have anything but an odd prototype here or there.

According to an article in the latest Cycle News, they'll begin shipping bikes on Aug 15th and that the first run of the Desert X-Country is sold out...

G'DAMN there is some big money up here!!!  That ride I went on yesterday (out near Mclean, VA) went through a few residential areas that made Hawaii Kai look like Kalihi!!  Massive multi-million dollar homes everywhere you look.  Even crossed paths with what must have been a local Ferrari club, as there were about fifteen or so prancing stallions moving about in a nice procession.

He is best found on Facebook these days.  Unfortunate it is.  Even if he did sell the bike, he's certainly not unwelcome round these parts - hell, he named the group!

Will do!
