I have a friend with one of those Buells and to be fair it goes ok, aesthetically it does not pull my strings like the hypa does.

Yes, hard to beat the looks of the Hyper. Its like comparing a supermodel to a female russian wrestler. The Buell is different and sometimes different is good. With the intake and exhaust uncorked and a little tuning, the Buell sounds easily as good as my HM, if not better. It reminds me of an XR750 on a mile track.

my friend has one and we went for 600km ride.apart from the looks that are easy to beat the Buell, sounds awesome and handles maybe a little better because it is shorter,on mountain roads.
i wouldn't buy it though.

1098 and D16RR are the supermodels, Hyper is the porn star.

So, by your logic, I ride a pornstar every day?



Suddenly I feel good about myself
