Ben Cope, you are a crappy journalist admin. If I cared enough to sign up to Visordown.com, I would send you a nasty message about your dislike for my Useless.



you are poop.

We don't get the Blast over here in the UK, but it seems to me like a funny thing to do.
If you're going to crush a bike because it's damaging to your range, why stop at just 1 in the Buell family?

We'd happily vote for the Buell Ulysses as next up for the crusher, the Buell Useless - as it's known by journos - posed about as much threat to the BMW 1200GS as an assassination attempt on Barack Obama using a cheeseburger as your only weapon.




Ouch, Ruthless Blogging

I think the term 'journalist' is being used under false pretenses. Doesn't surprise me that I've never heard of Visordown.com - clearly not a very objective view by the look of it.

Danger Dave is a journalist - perhaps they could get some lessons in the art from him?

Useless fodder. Just another Internet mouth spewing garbage.

I am a Visordown(T.W.O.) subscriber and I enjoy that publication immensely. I have yet to see a Buell advertisement in the 2 years I have received the mag. Does that give the journo the right to burn the bike? er, no but the lack of presence does speak volumes.

Now ask their chief road test editor Niall Mackenzie what he thinks and you'll get a better response. Niall is an ex GP racer and also can be seen testing some of the early 1125r bikes. He has always said the XB lineup is a hoot at trackdays in their own funky way.

Furthermore, the brits seem to be a society gagged on litre sportbikes. NVTS

Good reply Simon, obviously the guy's a buttplug....
Buell marketing seems a bit like the bikes, not for the unwashed masses.

Man that soooo pissed me off. Stupid. That guy is soo stupid. He obviously hasn't done a whole lot of research on the Uly. Of course it can't outrun a GS1200...off road. But on the pavement? Another story all together. I haven't heard of a GS grinding the pegs in deep turns, done that on the Uly. Can a GS do over 140? I'm not sure, but my Uly does... SO that guy can eat me....
