Come on now, if the "Buell Haters Clubİ" sees this there will be no end to the arguments as to why the review sucks and is wrong.


Looks like a real world test to me.

The "Buell Haters Clubİ" will just say they have been drinking a little too much Kool-Aidİ...

This may be the best part:

"Sometimes, very rarely, a company comes up with a machine, normally a car or bike, that just makes the driver or rider smile. It's not necessarily a pride or cost thing - it doesn't have to be the fastest, best looking or most exclusive vehicle ever - there's just something about some vehicles that makes people feel good. That feelgood factor is something that is missing from far too many bikes on the market. Perhaps it has been replaced with mechanical prowess or with clinical efficiency or, as with many new sportsbikes, with barely managed fear. But the Buell, despite being technically advanced in many areas, has that feelgood factor in spades. Every morning, no matter how tired I was, no matter how horrible the weather, by the time I had reached the end of my road I was grinning."

I read this review just before I bought my City and it pretty much clinched it for me.

Positive Buell reviews seem to come more often now but they are still a breath of fresh air.

The haters will wake up one day, and give Buell its due respect. Its not about how fast can I go down the highway on the rear wheel. I still find more reasons to love mine everyday.

When taking my bike for a demo I was surprised that after years of riding Japanese fours this bike was able to put a smile on my face in mere minutes. It had made riding fun to me again, and that fun never meant having to look at the speedo to regale my friends

There's a two page, er uh, spread in the September issue of Penthouse on the CityX. Almost reads like a Forum letter the way it's written - accompanying article is all gooey & positive (more like ad copy than a review). Pic's too, naked, of course.

Now that's good exposure, eh?
