It really depends on your perspective. I believe that much of the issues were Buell's fault. There WERE fueling issues.

The FZ1 had HORRIBLE fueling issues.

The issue isn't whether one company has issues or not. It's whether they deal quickly and effectively with those issues. Buell has. I believe KTM is working on it.

They hadn't gotten it sorted out by last October for the 2009 models.

It is a bit of a double standard. The most recent review of the 1125CR claimed it was "cramped". WTF? Did they have Andre the Giant testing?

The 1125 platform is one of the roomiest of sportbike models out right now.

It's just magazines. The writers carry their own biases onto the pages.
