I like this one
As long as you keep the oil out of the carb.
In other words, don't wheelie.

Why? : ) The wheelie can be done for short time. I have seen it on one of Youtube's movies.
Look at here:

from 2:35 till 2:40

I liked this one! So, I sold my Buell and bought it. I have no regrets. I loved the Buell, but this bike is great all round right out of the box...

Why?
I didn't say it couldn't be done.
When wheelied the oil runs into the carb and starts to smoke out the tail pipe, unless Ducati fixed it.

I've always wanted one of these and I will own one. Maybe not new, but I'd be fine with a used one.

BMW Lo Rider indeed. This is the first I've seen of it and now I'm wishing I had a bigger garage.

If I had the money both of these would be in my garage (shorter swing arm on the updated version though). I would also have the duc 1098 in white and black.

You missed what I posted earlier. My perfect "other bike" is one that can do the things the 1125R CAN'T do, and that is tour two-up comfortably for hundreds of miles with luggage. And I already own that bike, my K1200LT.

I do like the Benelli Tornado Tre, but I can't do anything with it that I can't already do (and likely BETTER) with the Buell.

Dude, give me a KTM Duke II or a Ducati Hypermotard - or both!!! If I had one of those, I would get into way too much trouble.

I chimed in early on in this post, and then it hit me what my real answer is.......
my perfect "other" bike is the BUELL XB12S that I just picked up, I already had a 1999 Roadstar in the garage, plus my girl and I own two vespas for running around the city, and she has a Ducati Monster Dark.
