I don't know HOW they picked the winner, unless it was to pick the bike most obviously beaten with an "Ugly Stick" before it left the factory. Check out the specs on that BMW boxer engine, though! 1200cc, air/oil cooled and it just WHOMPS the other candidates...

"Hindering the Twin’s enjoyment was our bike’s glitchy fuel-injection mapping, as the engine would sometimes want to cough and stall when giving it a throttle blip before taking off from a stoplight. Buell reps assert that our tester had pre-production fuel mapping that isn’t indicative of the production bikes in dealers."

Don't ya think you would send a bike that had every possible bug worked out of it to a group of test riders/writers? The same thing was said about the 1125R.

They should have sent the tried and true Black Uly!!
