Sport Classic

KeefyB · 21-Dec-2006, 07:31

I borrowed Italia's demo Sport for a while,.....nice bike,..would'nt buy one myself.
The seating position puts all the weight on your wrists,which makes low speed riding pretty uncomfortable.The lack of fairing took some getting used to,...and a great licence saver,....80mph feels more like 120!
Oh yeah,watch out for the bar mounted mirrors,...its too easy to forget how much wider they make the bike.
This one had Termi megas fitted,...sounded awesome.1000DS motor is lovely.Some bikes seem to be finished poorly,...the one I borrowed had silicone gasket goo oozing out of the engine casing and looked like it had been fitted by a backstreet bodger and not the factory.

Thanks for your feedback guys. Sorry about the S2 Griff, I should've known it was a Ducati and not a Buell

A test ride will be my next step, I just wanted to get some opinions first. I prefer a clipons-and-rearsets riding position and the license saving element is appealing. This was one of the reasons I traded in my Urban Tiger FireBlade for the Buell, but it doesn't seem to be working

Have a good Xmas !

You could just keep the Buell ... what will a sports classic give you that it doesn't?

Other that psuedo classic looks ?
