Ill just say, I paid about 3000 less for a new buell than anything else I was considering..

I expected the Buell hate. It always comes up. I've grown tired of defending too. But I couldn't help myself. And the deal I got on mine negates all hate as well.

Absolute worst overall was a recent spin on a Triumph Bonneville. It was like PUSHING a sewing machine down the road on a handtruck

Next to worse was the PRE-XB buell's. (I actually LOVE the XB9 & 12) but the cyclone, or thunder bucket-o-bolts-shaken-not-sturred was aweful. It would shake itself across the carport at idle

Worst ergos I've experienced was a 1995 Ducati 916. Great handling and engine, but I was done in 20 minutes...and this was back in my 20's

Worst seating was the Suzuki DRZ-SM. Felt like I was strattling a saw-buck for the duration

Worst handling was the 2006 Tony Stewart edition Big dog chopper I rode at bike week. You need a WIDE TURN mudflap on the back of that thing....sheeesh

It's not hate - someone asked a question, we answered it. You say it was cheap, someone could argue you get what you pay for
