The Buell was very nice to ride actually. Quite a high tech frame design compared to the Harleys. Very short wheelbase and low CoG meant it handled very well - pretty nimble.

The motor was "interesting". in the Sportster it puts out about 45hp but Buell had it tuned up to 104hp I think. Very torquey. Also huge amounts of vibration!
