If Buells did not exist, what type of motorcycle would you ride? Not to hate on the US, but I'd probably ride a Suzuki GSXR 750.
GSXR 600
FLHRCI (again), GSXR 750/1000. To heavy for the 600. (6'1" 250 lbs)
Probably something like a BMW R1200ST.
I'm surprised that others chose the GSXRs. What do you like about the Suzuki bikes over Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati, or Aprilia?
The GSXR is the best all around sport bike on the market.(Except Buell of course! lol) Suzuki doesn't have much to offer in the other areas, so my guess is that they put most of the funds into the sportbike program. For the longest time, the RM and the KX were the exact same bike, just different plastics, so we know the money wasn't going there, and Honda has about a trillion other products that they put more focus on. Kawasaki just follows the croud, the ZX14 is a bad ride, but it came too late in my opinion, and Yamaha lost its luster back when the YZ was Pink and white! The R1 is a good bike, but with the same skill level rider on both, can't come close to the GSXR. Just my take on it.
Lessee...the other bikes on my shortlist when I bought my Firebolt were: Triumph Speed 4, Honda Superchicken, SV1000S. Right now, it'd probably be the Triumph 675, although a Ducati would be a strong contender (I'd love a 748, or better yet a 916...).
However, I'm glad Buell is around, or I might have ended up riding the SV1000S...
Probably a new Kawasaki Z1000. They look pretty sweet. Or maybe a Suzuki GSF500... simple, cheap, and not bad looking. I'm not an aggressive rider, so large displacement is kinda' wasted on me (says he with the 1200 Ss). ;)

Speed triple for sure.
I would get one that is fixable. My Buell is dead again 4th time. I also get no support from the shop or buell I call them give my info. They say they will call me back. well no calls ever. maybe I need to not make payments then they call. nope that ruins credit that I'll need to buy a new not a buell bike once I get this one running again. It's trade time. I'm going back Suzuki or Kawasaki
