"What are you saying?"

This is REALLY what he was saying: "I'm an a$$hole that really doesn't have anything to say, so I said this stupid shyt." Now I see why he stuck with the dwarves thing so long. It's positively GENIUS compared to this last brain fart from ZRX_bullshyt.

Nice review. Gives anyone that will listen a good impression of the ins and outs of owning a Buell. Haven't ridden one myself, but Harley is always willing to give test rides on em. They just look too small. At 6'4" it might be a tight squeeze. You are right about the sound though. Last weekend A guy really got on one down the street and it has that flattrack racer sound.

Numbers don't lie, but KP does

Let's see, our resident idiot is walking away from a Buell 12 at 5000 rpm, eh? Well a quick look at the 2001 Kaw ZX9 dyno chart (which I hope meets his "qualifications" of a "modern 600") shows his Kawi making a monsterous 30 hp. and 32 ft. lbs. of torque at 5 grand. WOW. Those are numbers that just blow your mind! He's really kicking some ass with those numbers, boy! Now the Buell. 66 hp. and 69 ft. lbs. of torque at 5 grand. Buell weighs 18 lbs more, so the weight is essentially equal. Yeah you can see KP really walking away from that Buell at 5 grand, can't you? The Buell makes as much horsepower as the Kawi at 2.5K and still has 60 lbs. of torque at that rpm. I bet the Buell has more torque at IDLE than that Kawi at full tilt. Now, I know these numbers won't phase him, and since I am 100% sure he never even sat on a Buell, much less rode one, he's simply talking out his ass again as usual. Holy, I agree that the Buell is a different ride. It certainly will not be as fast as a Kawi at 12 grand, but at real world speeds and rpm's, the Buell can more than hold it's own.
