Wow! Excellent summary. My thoughts exactly. You know, I always go for the underdog. As you can see by my choice of motorcycle, I am a true enthusiast. I choose my vehicles based on the facts, not what everyone else thinks. I've been on bikes since I was 5 and I've had all of the CBR, GIXXER, R6, R1, Nijas. The Buell is by far, the funniest, pure motorcycle I've ever owned. It too gets hammered in sales and popularity. I definitely don't like running with the crowd.
