| My 900S2 is a 1983 Ducati, I've had since new. I have spoken to customers, that have ridden Buells. They discribe the power delivery as brutal, as compared to the Sport. The suspension and handling is also more refined on the Sport, well its Italian!
I have heard people comment on a small discomfort on the wrists/hands due to the prone riding position. This I can assure you fades away the more you ride. If I haven't ridden the S2 for a while, the first 10-15 min I'm aware of it, but then it just goes away.
As far as maintenance issues go we have had none so far, which is a good sign.
Build quality is excellent.
Honestly you really need to try and get a test ride. Its well worth it. Overall a very smooth comfortable machine.
I take it it's the 2007 you are looking at.
Is that helpful? Hard to do this without sounding like a sales guy. |
