I've heard it all, nice bike, thats cool, what is it, is it fast, is it as fast as it looks, that's really small, you look too big for that bike, thats a piece of ****, is that your wifes bike, etc. Harley bikers are split, some love it, some hate it, sportbike crowd 80% talk ****, ADV / BMW cyclists say its too shaky, loud, finicky, and unreliable.
My take, I love it, I love the rarity, the simplicity yet the technology and outside the box innovation. The ergo's and handling and the character it has which makes it an individual. Even within its own breed, Each Buell has his/her very own personality. Pretty trick. She's not the fastest or shortest braking or most expensive but she gets all the looks, pics, and questions at any stop, and she has my heart.
