It is not CycleWorld casting the vote. You and I are. CycleWorld's opinion of the XR1200 does not taint the poll. (Many of us on BadWeB running over there casting our votes might.) | ||

All I know is...I'm going to see Rush in Northern Virginia on Saturday night. Neil Peart rides his tours, *behind* the bus. I wanna say on a Bimmer GS or GSA. The venue in NoVa has "rockstar" parking - right AT the gate - for motorcycles. What if Neil came out before the show (I've heard rumors he does sometimes)? Wonder if there's a complete 1190RS in existence anywhere and if there is, would he be interested in taking a peek at it? Jiffy Lube Live arena, AKA Nissan Pavilion. 7800 Cellar Door Drive, Bristow, VA 20136 for your mapqusting pleasure, Anony  hey...a rat can dream, right? | ||

Doerman said "taint". | ||

JEEZus Joe, can you possibly describe a better MC wet dream for me? Rush is my all time favorite rock band!! Wish I could make it. "Red Barchetta" redone as "Red Barracuda"??? | ||
| Doerman |
You had me scurry over to dictionary.com to see if I misused the word.  You know.. with the Bad English thread going I need to be careful! | ||

>>>"Red Barchetta" redone as "Red Barracuda"??? Uncle Erik has a country place, no one knows about. He says it used to be a farm before the motor company screwed it up. On Sundays I elude the eyes and hop the turbo'ed Bolt... Yes, that would be great! | ||

My fat butt'd need more than 49HP, though.  Want a V11 Racer. | ||

Voted, up to 70% now. | ||

OK, gonna have to rework the whole damn song now.... Sorry Mr. Peart... | ||

As much as I enjoy my Norge, that Sport does nothing for me. It's all Show and no Go. If Guzzi had seen fit to give it a few more horsepower, my opinion might be different, but it's only lipstick on a pig,as far as I'm concerned.The original V7 Sport made more horsepower, and that was built back in the early '70s. Technology has moved on in the past 38 years. My '73 Sport was as reliable as an anvil; ten more horsepower should easily be available without sacrificing reliability. I admit that I'm biased, though. Here's the real thing on a track taken in 1976  | ||

Looks like you'd pick up a few horsies just by dropping those awful stock pipes... peashooters do a motor no favors. From MG's website: "This bike has no need to race against the clock, it was built to enjoy the ride." It's a sexy bike, no doubt... but to name a bike "Cafe Classic" and then, on the same page, make a statement like the one above... it just seems contradictory. I'm betting it wouldn't be hard to squeeze 75 HP out of that mill. | ||

CycleWorld's opinion of the XR1200 does not taint the poll. No, it taints the entire publication which certainly justifies my previous statement. That poll is full of BadWeB influence, which is great since we're the ones to ask about Buells. Let's see how it looks in a few weeks after everyone else has had a crack at it. | ||

I am so lost on this topic now... what does these weird bikes i have never heard of have to do with the new E.B.R. 1190RS? | ||

I am so lost on this topic now... what does these weird bikes i have never heard of have to do with the new E.B.R. 1190RS? Not a thing. It's called thread drift. Since the Two seconds of video in the teaser has been dissected, analyzed, speculated upon, and fantasized over to death, things move on to other areas. At least nobody has started badmouthing Obamalamadingdong, unions or any other political garbage. There is a silver lining to the Dark Cloud. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Well, the video woulda been more detailed if weren't for the Obamalamadingdong union mosque in NYC.  | ||
| B00stzx3 |
Well prayer works. I've been waiting for this ever since that cursed day. Think I'mma start going to church again! If I turn on the TV and see Wandy in cuffs and put on trial for treason, I'll know God's really hookin it up | ||

Back on topic, what is Erik Buell Racing going to do for dealerships and service? From a commonality pov, since there are still Buell Techs with 1125R knowledge at some of the HD dealerships, that makes some sense. But from a marketing pov, haven't we already had that stick in the eye? | ||

I think Erik said it best......... I throw my hands up, not another test It’s never been about, being second best So I ride, and the thrill ain’t gone. And I try to carry on, I try to carry on. It’s been a long time, and a lot of change I can forget about, settin’ in my ways. So I ride, and the thrill ain’t gone. And I try to carry on, I try to carry on. Runnin’ blind, there’s so many ways. Gonna find my way home. Out of time, when I’m gone I get lonely and lonelier Runnin’ blind, but I’m still runnin’ Last night is dead and gone, and it lives on and on Will we ever find, a way to explain Hard times, and long gone yesterdays Runnin’ blind, there’s so many ways. Gonna find my way home. Out of time, when I’m gone I get lonely and lonelier Runnin’ blind, but I’m still runnin’, still runnin Yeah we’re all runnin’ blind Yeah we’re all runnin’ blind Yeah,yeah yay | ||

Where's the Loki engine from? Rotax. *BRP* Rotax. What else does BRP make engines for? Ski-Doo. Sea-Doo. Can-Am. And a slew of fourwheelers. At least...that's where my mind takes this whole thing. But what do I know...I was just a salesman. | ||

Ah...Les. Good stuff...even if he does suck LOL. Got me looking around, though. They do a version of Devil Went Down, which is OK...but I always liked the Levellers version (awesome Irish group I met when I was in college - but don't ever try to match 'em pint for pint!). Maybe a Buelltoberfest theme song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kecdNnykdng (someday, somebody will have to explain to me how to put the actual clip in a post...) Here's a live version - gives you something to watch while you listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6f9sNOFNE&feature=related (Message edited by ratbuell on September 16, 2010) | ||

Back on topic, what is Erik Buell Racing going to do for dealerships and service? Block 1 of the 1190RS is only going to amount to 100 or so bikes. How many dealers do you think we need? These bikes are for the faithful they will know where to get them. |
