Bought a V-Strom!

Being the hypocrit that I am, even though it had an oil leak I really like the Buel  Ulyses. If I were to buy a giant dirt bike that would be the one for me. They all have their plus and minus's but as far as looks to form ratio I would have to go with the Buel. :wink:



I like the looks of the Buell Ulyses too.

The Buell costs a little to much for me to justify it. If I were buying a dual tourer, The v-strom would be it, probably the 1000. Although I hear the 650 is very capable and more dirt worthy.

The V-Strom may be ugly, but I haven't read a bad review on it yet.  In fact when it first came out, one of the magazines took a group of bikes out and everybody kept on wanting to ride the V-Strom.

I haven't seen too many modern bikes that AREN'T ugly. Most new bikes seem to have an "insect" look to them, kinda like a praying mantis. Really annoying.


Take a look at the white Speed Triple *drools*

Anyway congratulations on the new bike.

I'm picking up a 2001 ZX-6R on Saturday!!  :banana:

That Buell IS a good looking bike.  I like it.


'Bout the "insect" looking bikes, Vidrazor....you got that one right!  I thought the Bandit was funky as hell when I first got it.  I used to describe it to people as having an alien queen head fairing.  But I hadn't paid attention to bikes for 23 years at the time, so the current look was a surprise to me.  It's grown on me.  The V-Strom is even funkier, but that has slowly grown on me, too.  I no longer think it's fugly.  Just weird.  I would own one with no qualms.
