Nick, get a test ride before you buy a Buell. I've test ridden several and I was never impressed. I just think that for a sport bike they're way too rough. You expect vibration and clunky shifting from a Harley, but I guess my expectations for a sport bike include more sophistication and smooth running.

Guys be careful ! Those things are death mobiles. I've had a few bike mishaps. Having said that I've been thinking about buying another one myself. LOL. Mainly for street riding though and not really a sportbike. Sportbikes are like being straped to a speeding bullet. One lapse of concentration and you can come visit me in the hospital.

I have a 05 Ninja 636 and its a rush to ride! My dad kinda spoiled it for me though, he picked up a used Triumph Thunderbird for an amazing price and I hate to say it...I had a blast driving it. Never thought I'd see myself on a cruiser-style bike, but it looks like that time may be coming.
