    Don't the different brands have to be standard?
    Fuel blends are changed frequently for atmospheric conditions and the like.
    In winter they might add more volitile components to help with cold starting and so on.
    That may have somthing to do with it.

    I use 95 in the triple. I've tried 98 but, there is no difference other than cost. Manual also recommends 95.

    Know better? No. Just prefer a bike I don't look like I am riding a mini moto.

    The only Buell I have sat on was way too small.

    ...probably need to try sitting the 1125 or a Uly then, they are both HUGE: Uly damn tall, and the 1125 damn wide.
    I prefer the 'Bolt, just right for me... but I do know some find them too small, just as well we have some many bikes out there huh?
