    no, I don't recommend this bike, I've ridden one (or something very similar) and it's way to low to the ground for my comfort, though I suppose to each their own, I just thought it'd be amusing to post here XD

    I would have to choose an EBR 1190RX for a powerful fun bike: http://www.erikbuellracing.com/motorcycles/ebr1190rx/

    or the Triumph Street Triple to a smaller but fun daily rider: http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/bikes/bike-categories/roadsters#Street-Triple-R-ABS-2015

    I love the EBR but its more of a track bike, the Triumph would be a good daily rider that is also a streetfighter/naked style.

    Currently I have an 08 Buell 1125R and love it but parts are either really expensive or hard to find. When I get more time to ride I will be getting another bike.

    Also I have to agree with everyone about the more upright riding position. My next bike will probably be a Standard or Adventure bike with a less aggressive / more comfortable riding position. I have done road trips on my Buell and after about 2 hours I was ready to stop.

    Buell parts are hard to find because Harley Davidson doesn't give a shit about making motorcycles or having quality service hence why buell went down the shitter. American motorcycle my ass, over 60% of the parts come from Taiwan, China, and India.


    I'm not one for high power motor cycles as a daily rider. To much power can be a problem as a daily rider because weather conditions. Better to have good predictable power on the low end then crazy power on the high end. V twin standard motorcycles in my opinion are the best daily riders because of the power delivery, handling, comfort, and easier to fix then a high power inline.

    i DO like the CBR look, but it violates the "no fairings/as few fairings as possible" rule.

    I think my roomies thing was the rarity of the B-King. Of the original 2500 or so about 600 have been lost. (my roomies included). No one really knows about them or has seem them before.

    The rarity of the ninja h2 will be created from its 25k price tag. The H2R is 50k.

    Doubt you will be seeing very many of either of them.
