    Hmm, I don't like any of those. The SV is a great bike, but I think his price is a bit high. And if his riding is anything like his photography the bike's been down 4 times.

    Just saw this on this board. Looks like a good deal and the FZ6 is a great bike. Nice and mellow in the lower RPM range and yet really comes on above about 10K RPM.

    Don't underestimate the Buell guys. I had an xb12ss a couple years ago. Diesel tourque. Doesn't rev high and pulls hard from a dead stop. I would've kept it but I can't keep 2 bikes and wanted more of a track bike. These bikes are very basic but engineered well. They have some of the best suspension you'll find on a stock bike, especially the Uly's. Very low maintenance, but be ready to do your own when it's time, not much support from Harley any more. Their prices are going back up though since EBR started in the AMA and now have street bikes available.

    They are definitely a cult type of bike. Most of the owners will die next to their Buell, some want to burn them down....

    Not trying to be a "know it all", but I had an FZ6 as well

    Very nice bike but not much character to me. It was my first bike in my "squiddly" days. Didn't really get a chance to truly know the bike cause I thought I was ready for an R6 to be a true squid. I do remember the center stand being very useful on the fz6 though....

    btw, it you look at any fz6, look at '07 and earlier. I think they changed for worse in '08.

    R2SL had a business model the depended on the racetracks being in a position to donate the track time for the event. With the downturn of the global economy the tracks we had been working with were no longer in a financial position to make those donations, and as a result the event lost the venues.

    As a result we've put the charity in a dormant state in hopes that someday we can revive it.
