Other Naked Bikes Of Interest

The Buell Lightning seems interesting.  Funny how it gets such great reviews now, but didn't sell well enough for the Motor Company to keep it around.

 

We test rode some Buell's back in '07  and had a blast (no pun intended).  Parts will be increasingly hard to come by. Plenty of low end torque, and you might expect with a Harley power plant.  Another test drive will be hard to come by, no dealers have any new ones since Buell was summarily executed by Harley-Davidson in 2009. 

Ryde4ever suggests the Yamaha FZ-07 or FZ-09 which also looks interesting.

 

 A test ride is in order, something Ryde4ever and I may attempt later this month.
