I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

I'll take the Thruxton please - the 60's styling is the only thing that'll look right next to my Lammy.

Like all those litre sprotsbikes it gave me the shake.fireblade....
it's something you can like ...buy
and i'm a sportsbike fella
but uve tested so many cruisers i would say go for a cruiser as your readers obviously like that type of bike if that your usual reviews.....
on that front i would probably have to say the buell xb12....for the simple fact it has a harley motor.....but can actually take a corner at a proper pace, and i do like the concepts buell have ...ie the way they did the front brake discs....
at end of the day though, i'd be taking home the blade.
The shake is when you give one the complete berries and then stop and hold a hand up to your face.
Adrenalin, mild sensory overload and a primal fear response mechanism all come into play. It makes your hand shake. Quite addictive. And would have me disqualified in a short space of time.
As Oscar Wilde said ' I can resist anything but temptation'. This thing will cost you Three hundy and 50 demerits BEFORE you engage SECOND gear.
Track day enthusiasts and the strong willed. Neither am I.
Get over the Harley motor thing. Reliable and superbly suited for road use.
Vibrates and shakes, but the characteristics buell bumps to 100hp are nigh on perfect for road and street. It's just fucking sweetness.
No cam chains, no shims, no valve adjustments - 8,000km service intervals.

Im not going to answer the Eds question Best Bike?
These are My awards - Im taking a different tack. I could be all objective and say that I thought the Concours 1400 best filled its design brief and performed superbly, buuuut If you lined up all 24 KR test bikes Ive ridden this past set of twelve and said there you go the Dave pick one to keep any one.
I would keep the

Hey you said which one i'd take home.
I'd take the Street knowing that I can fix the suspension

I stab, shoot and set fire to the F__ker that asked the question and then steal ALL the bikes.
I couldn't pick. Not in a million years.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

You liked the Rune, dincha?
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
One hell of a ride.
Yeah - one of those bikes I just enjoy looking at. Eminently sensible for the conditions and a bike that you can still ride and nail it occasionally.
The ergos and drop bars mean a bloke my size can't ride it too far without stopping at a cafe and.....
Wherever I may roam
I'm gonna take a guess and say you got a Scrambler.
My pick would be the CB900, I would love the Street Triple, but the hornet fits the my criteria better.

Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

No I didn't - I said guess which one I picked.Hey you said which one i'd take home.

Your weight the suspension would be sweet - they just don't have enough spring for moi.

Depends if I'm paying.......
right now the real world answer with my cash would probably be the fizzer.
...... or would it.....
Edit: You picked the street triple.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the FJR1300. So I will...

One hell of a ride.
Picked it last year so didn't really consider.
Indeed I would take the Scrambler in a blink - it would fill the hole in my collection perfectly - and I would turn it into a hell ADV.
But the fickleness of the media commitment precluded doubling up.
One hell of a ride.
Last year's list mate.
The Double-acted-ness of the FJR alone (pun intended) would see me take it ahead of the Concours - and it handled better - but I liked the way the Connie went ever so slightly more.
More Pazzzaaaaaymmm!

Well, is it the Scrambler 2?
Was it a Ulysses then seeing your a Buell and HD fan?
