Buell XB12STT

[Big Dave]

Funny, I was just thinking the same. Of the bikes I've ridden in the last few years, the four that stand out the most are, in the following order of personal desirability the TT, the HD Rocker, the Aprilia Shiver, and the MT-01. All pretty much motorcycles with a stripped down ethos. A couple of wheels, an adequate seat, suspension that works, and an engine bulging with character.

Geez - you sound just like that aussie bloke from the magazine.
You'll qualify for a HTFU tee shirt soon.

A saw a Turbo MT01 parked up in Sydney. Noice.
Speed Triple, and BMW Megamoto deserve mention too.

And don't forget a good old Bonneville. Essence de all you need.

Personal taste thing but moto guzzis have never spoken to me.

The speed triple still provides me with all the thrill I need. Never ridden a Buell - I won't for a while now having read this thread as don't want to be tempted to change bike for a while.

A Moto Guzzi spoke to me, once.

It said "SCREEEEEEEECCHHHHHH".

I then became enlightened, and realised why most of them have their centerstands removed.

First thing I do to ANY bike.

So do you use tools or 'the other' method?

So far - a combination.

Trophy - dragged it off
Bonneville - unbolted it.

Yup there is a real fun factor to a Bonnie - I take my brothers one for a blat now and then and really enjoy it.

Then you have Paul in NZ's beautiful old Trumpy. That is a classy machine.

Paul's is the TR6A I mentioned.
