Triumph builds a nice bike, but I am not always in a nice mood, the Buell gets me every time even 21k later, every time I am on it.
I could trade in the Buell for Triumph, but I would need a Speed Triple, A Tiger and a Scrambler to get what I got in my City-x. No contest.

MV Agusta Brutale is the only bike that has me thinking about another. I have included some youtube videos for fun.

Hey guys I need your help deciding if a Buell is the right bike for me. I am looking at either the XB12Ss or the Stt. ... it looks like the Buell is out of its league but something about it just keeps bringing it back onto my list of considerations.

The good news is that it's difficult to make a bad decision here. They are all good bikes.

The Buell may (or may not) be out of it's league, but unless you're a very skilled rider, it's going to be your own abilities, not those of whichever bike you choose, that is going to be holding you up.

Get the bike that speaks to you. You like the Buell. Ride it and see if it's what you want it to be. Do the same for the others.
