Always found the Buell's interesting.
I ride a Honda VFR Interceptor which falls into same sort of grey area between touring and sport bikes.

I've only ridden one Buell, the Ulysses model. Certaily not thier flagship bike but had a certain appeal. Sounded cool and the riding postion felt comfortable.

A bit twitchy on handling but the steep rake and high center of gravity just be something you have to get used to.

I don't know. I don't hate them but really don't see many around town or hear anyone saying "Oh man, I can't wait to see the 2010 Buell lineup!"

There will ALWAYS be alot of Harleys parked in the Longshormans Union lot, Boeing machinist Union lot and of course on the Microsoft campus. Yes, yuppies ride Harleys too.

As long as we lose our hair, get old and still make money Harleys will have a customer.
