I gotta hand it to them - that looks pretty sweet and the pricing doesn't seem so bad, either!

13 grand? Yow. How much is an FJR or a ST1300? Or are we taking the 'all road' thing seriously?

Can you see the resemblance in this character and the bike?

It's not any uglier than the BMW.

The short wheel base does not excite me....

I love my Ulysses....... the short wheel base would be for sport riding, but I will tell you, I have not had any problems using the thing for riding the twisties.

I thought I heard somewhere that Buell was going with a 1200 cc Rotax rather than the Harley motor... is the Thunderstorm a Harley product?

Great looking bike BTW!
