I love my Buell. I love how I don't have to keep the revs up all the time. While I do enjoy the smoothness of the I-4, I prefer the rumble of the v-twin. Maybe it's because I'm a car guy, and I love the sound of a v-8. My Buell isn't exactly a touring bike, I've tried, but the geezer glide is there to take up the slack.

I love the way the XR1200 looks. I test drove one, and wasn't impressed enough to want one. I still love the looks though.

DRiven that stretch of I-40 many times. You were playing with fire doing 100 MPH through there! That stretch of interstate is crawling with state police who nail people for more than 5 over regularly.

I fell in love with V-twins while breaking in my '99 SV650 race bike on the street. Loved the lack of high frequency vibes and not having to downshift 3 times to pass! I really like my current naked SV1000, but have been looking for even more power lately while doing track days. The power and torque of the new Tuono V4R is tempting, but if KTM brings out this RC8 (1190) powered Superduke, I may stay V-twin?!

I love the sound of the 1203cc twin through the Jardine RT-1 - like a P-47 on the highway.

That's my pick of the thread.
Could be the naked SV too, but this one looks great. I can imagine the sound..
