This. Nothing about the riding experience on a Guzzi remotely captures the riding experience on any Buell.

The closest bikes I've found to Buells are Ducatis.

Out of the current lineup, maybe a Monster 800

or a Multistrada.

On the used market, a Monster, SS, Multistrada, or ST series.

It would be really cool to do an XB/S3T project. Put a 2008-up XB engine and swingarm in an S3 frame, and convert to a top shock.

Hmm, for that matter, maybe put an EBR 1190 engine and swingarm in an S3T frame.

I would say this is the closest to a modern S3T: an obsolete 2004 955i Sprint RS with luggage.
