    Well guys I've been toying with the idea of selling the buell for the past few months. I just never road it anymore and it was just sitting....

    Well my best friend ended up buying it from me so I'm glad it's going to a good home but it's still sad to see her go...

    Time to get a supermoto though!!!!

    As cool & fun as the XB & 1125 are, SuMos are double! :D

    Sport bikes have gotten so competent, with limits that are well beyond most of us, that they just aren't that fun or practical to ride on public roads anymore. There's been a bit of a recent resurgence in middle-weight standards that acknowledge this, but none of them are especially cool or sexy.

    Unless you're touring, a SuMo will deliver everything you'll ever really need in a street bike. It can easily function as the only mount in most rider's garages...

    I've still got my Daytona in my living room... (I don't have a garage...) so between that and a supermoto I think I'll have my bases covered! ;)

    I'd love to sell my buell for a sumo, but I do too much freeway riding :(

    Very true, high speed cruising isn't the strong suit of most SuMos, especially the little 250s & 450s, but I'm on a 650, and it'll hit 185 Km/h (115 mph) if I need it to, and it'll cruise at 130 Km/h (80 mph) all day long.
