I don't think I'd ever get one, but I'm certainly intrigued by them. I'm just curious how they ride.

From what I have seen , they just vibrate like shit , bits and pieces fall of them,

I think the only plus would be the sound, and maybe good for a stunt bike.

Wait a minute...Buell is a Harley company, nevermind :D

:lol You guys are nuts :D The Buell's go alright, I think they use a better grade chewing gum to hold them together then your average Harley :confused:

But they actually ride very nicely. A few years ago I had the opportunity to ride and XB9R and XB9S out at a HPDC (http://www.performancedriving.com.au/index_fl.html). They are by no means a weapon, but the low down grunt and flickability was outstanding!!!

If you were looking for a bike without the warp factor of the R1 then I would highly recommend them. Mind you the XB12 series could have the extra fun factor :confused:
