Seriously considering a Buell down the road for some serious canyon carving.
I like the torque of my Vic and could only imagine what the engine would be like in a sport bike chassis.
Take your bike's torque and simply add 30-40 more hp and that's what a Buell 1200 feels like. It's such a well rounded engine.

It takes some getting used to though. The bike rides very different than any other bike and it took me about a month of riding and some fine tuning of the suspension before it handled like it was claimed to.
