Re: Thinking (Changing bike ?)

I've heard the build quality is a little suspect, but only from bike mags. Love the look of them tho!

I sat on a Buell Lightning at Goodwood at the weekend and fell in love. I want one!

I've ridden several Buells, but not for a few years now. The early ones were terrible, but the later ones improved dramatically. I don't think that build quality is really an issue, they're pretty solid bikes. They're certainly bikes for individuals who want to stand out from the crowd - always a good thing in my opinion.

I hope that you enjoy it and suspect that you will :D

Sunset Orange with black n grey frame.

Looks great and the grin you get from riding is up there with the grin i used to get when I had my TVR.

Really very excited and cant wait.

Will post pickies when I pick it up.

I actually fell in love with it at the Bike Show...sat on around 40-50 bikes and this one just made me grin....

Still keeping my SV though (well for a while anyway) as I love it too and cant just sell me baby...
