A very fun article, as I posted on another thread. Glad to see riders of the caliber of Chris Walker, Matt Oxley, Steve Westlake, Mike Armitage, etc. think so highly of the bike I ride. Hopefully this thread doesn't degrade into Buell bashing and related personal insults like the other. If it does, Blake could you please delete all such posts? We've already heard enough.

Well, the riders did say that if you remove the "exceeding expectations" ranking, then the Buell drops to number two and the Duc 999R is number one. : )

But only in "drive"...

Sorry... Apparently I can't help it : ).

The opening pictures says "Firebolt" with a picture of a Lightening. I guess that fairing and more aggressive riding position really makes a difference, the Lightening did only half as well as the Firebolt.

Take note of, page 68, the "999cc in-line four", 181mph. Yeap that's how they describe their #1 choice... the XB12R!

Those American models are hard to figure out~

I just took another look at the article... It looks like they used an '05 XB12SCG for the "S" test. That would explain it if you ask me. Lower pegs...
