cool looking bike but those clip-ons are unacceptable and why is it $12k when brand new 1098 is only what $14k?
Buell is almost as polarizing as KP. I tell you which of those two would be faster on a nice, tight road. Guess? Ducati looks about a foot longer than a Buell.

Yes, it's doomed to failure. Weak-sister that it is. I bet they'll only sell these to girls and sexually-ambigous "sissy boys". I hope Ducati developed a training-wheel set to go along with it............

LOL So much for JB being my mentor anymore..I know how to make JB feel bad...Time to switch to a Buell critic like Mitch Boheme or my cousin Mark Cook to be my mentor. Just kidding JB.. You are probably right but Sean says the motor in the Duc is superior I have to go with him.. Remember I am the disabled son that Sean never had..

I do have a fondness for goat's milk.. How did you know? I was allergic to cow's milk as a baby.. I do like the black with red wheels big engined Firebolt. I love the looks.. This spring I'll ride one. I got kNinja back from the shop finally last week. First ride tomorrow.. Plan to go 50 miles. My friend with the Triumph Daytona wants me to go riding with him and he goes on long long trips. So I need to start riding longer..

well the Duc is a superior motor and so is probly a Merlin V12. Problem is neither one will fit inside a 52 in. wheelbase. Kudos once more to EB for making a silken purse out of a saucier... Kudos my children, kudos for all... is it nearly ****tail hour or is it just me?
matter of fact we did a duc 900SS vs. XB9R back in like `02 on MO and then we all liked the XB9S better, so...
does this GT1000 use same old frame? rook rike to me...

Engine Differences
He's probably speaking of chassis differences. Also, the DS1000 is a fair improvement over the old 900ss motor. The off-idle stumble and low-rpm surging from the Buell's FI make it a headache around town. Once you get past the motor, the XB's chassis and playful character shines through.
