honest opinion on why it had it's day? heavy lump of shit motor. so many good choices for a twin to use, and finally the 1125 Rotax motor (used by aprilia in the rsv1000) came to light...but the bike was ugly and came waay to late. always loved the design and innovation of buell though...just can't get past that lump.
A better fit from day one would have been a suzuki SV1000 motor. Real HP and real TQ numbers would have sold that bike...but then it wouldn't have been all american. Also combine that with a dealer network that didn't know shit about them and wasn't at all interested in selling you anything but shitty Dyna when you went in to ask about them.
