Just curious, have you ridden the 1125 version, or just the air cooled models?

Less vibes, Longer powerband (redline at 10.5K) slightly different handling.

Also add hydraulic clutch and a slipper clutch.

You may still not like it, but at least give one a shot if you get a chance.
It bears some resemblance to my old SV650S as far as rideability etc.

Ok - sounds like 180 degrees from the bikes I rode and all the qualities I couldn't STAND.
Off to figure out where to test ride one (well, once the snow melts...again)

any Buell dealership (once the snow melts)
Thats a HUGE plus of Buell... they actually WANT you to try out their bikes!
