I have tested quite a few Buells and they always fall well below other Japanese models. Never ridden this model so I cannot say.....the numbers look impressive though.

I have tested quite a few Buells and they always fall well below other Japanese models.

In what way? Just curious . . .

I can appreciate the opinion of someone whose actually ridden one (or more), as opposed to those who spout off with no actual experience.

Front disk mount looks inovative....mounted to wheel rim rather than the hub. First time I've seen that wrinkle - moves point of pressure outboard - might increase braking power.

I'm a bit out of date on bike technology - is this new or just something I missed before.

My experience with ROTAX engines is 100% positive. I had several in my kawasaki-colored and stickered race machines. Then again, that was all 2-stroke stuff, offroad.
