>>>>PS Does Buell really "crash test" their bikes? Yes, as required for certification. The XB head section testing raised the bar on analysis. |

There is no new Buell streetfighter being launched in 2007, so I know he's full of it. And, believe me, I would know. So whatever Rocketman posts, if he ever actually does, it won't be what he is saying. And comparing Aprilia in size with Buell is delusional. Until Beggio screwed it up, they sold more motorcycles than H-D. |

>>>>There is no new Buell streetfighter being launched in 2007 That's not ENTIRELY true . . . Jack Rinehart is taking cardio kick-boxing at the community college and Derek just retired. . . I'm thinking Buell may be unleashing the streetfighter to end all streetfights . . . . aka THE HAMMER! |

The Aprilia reference was, Aprilia is to Piaggio what Buell is to HD, except Piaggio actually believe in the investment they have in Aprilia. After all you were at the show so you know exactly what Aprilia are up to that Buell isn't. A 2008 entry into WSB for one. What year could we expect HD to line Buell up on the WSB circuit? That said, Harley do sell more dresses and frilly knickers than Aprilia do. Rocket |

I'm told a certain publication is interested in paying me for my spy pic's. Pays to have journo's as friends on a Sunday. Not sure whether I should be ruthless or scrupulous. Decisions decisions Rocket |

Simple solution... Post said pic by Midnight (EST). No BS and no photoshopped jobs. If this is a joke. Fine. Ha Ha. Good one. If you let us in on the joke before midnight, no hard feelings and life goes on. If I wake up tomorrow, and there isn't either a top-secret picture of a Streetfighter Buell (of which I am in considerable doubt), or an admission that all this hullabaloo was an early April fool's joke, then your integrity with me goes out the window. I've never met you, so If first impressions truly are everything, then I'd say maintaining said integrity is more important than 100 bucks from Popular Mechanics. Sound fair? |

And comparing Aprilia in size with Buell is delusional. Until Beggio screwed it up, they sold more motorcycles than H-D. If you count all the Scooters that may be true, but I can't believe it is correct for true motorcycles |

Solution #2 E-mail someone you trust, and that we know, with the pic (i.e. a custodian). If they vouch for you, and you truly want to pursue selling it, than I think that would be a fair compromise. |

Give him until midnight before saying anything negative, he has three perfectly reasonable options on his plate and he deserves a few hours to mull it over. |

I used to own an Aprilia, and the day I sold it was one of the happiest days of my life. My bike was marginal at best. Some of the newer bikes look pretty good, but the service and support is absolute CR*P. They no longer have dealer near me, they have burned too many bridges by stiffing dealers for warranty work etc. How they stay in business is beyond me. |
