Some 18 year olds are wiser beyond their years. |

One of the fastest guys I've ever ridden with was on a 450 Supermoto. He also has an SV650. He's FAST!
At Barber, on the Supermoto, he was turning the same lap times I was turning on my 600. He actually got reprimanded by the control rider for passing people so fast in the corners it was startling them.
You don't need big power to go fast. It's nice to have it, especially if it's controllable and comes in a nice light agile package.
People who buy bikes based on a magazine article or a spec sheet are idiots. |

We have a saying here in Tennessee.

I had money down on my 1125r sight unseen, based only on the Cycle World August 07 article. It was my second Buell, and I had ridden a couple XBs.
I couldnt be more pleased with the results! |

Did you buy it to race it or ride it? I bought my Buell to ride, not race. So I don't care that it's not the fastest bike out there. With that being said it's still more bike then I could ever truly handle. I'm 100% happy with it.
Ride it and enjoy it. |
