    I have Bike ADD. I literally JUST bought a BMW for the wife, and it turns out she doesn't want it. I love riding it, but it just lacks the brutality of the Buell.

    and AFAIK the XB series is pretty reliable, and simple to work on.

    doesn't matter with fool injection. skip the buell and buy something, once you're tired of it, it will sell easier. There's a reason, the buell is still for sale.

    I had one last year and freaking loved it. comfortable, but not as comfortable as the BMW, but comfortable. There's something to be said for that old 1203cc Sportster engine, the power and riding experience is phenomenal.

    There's really no other bike I can think of that can compare, I've been scanning the interwebs for something.

    It's sporty, it's utilitarian, it's got handling, power, ground clearance, comfort, luggage, upright riding position. Closest thing I can imagine is the 1200GS, or maybe Triumph Tiger, but vs the buell's 400# weight and 55mpg and no super labor intensive regular maintenance...I don't know what would even come close within the price range.

    My old one sold in a week.

    The closest comparable bike I can come up with is the Ducati Multistrada, but it's #x the price.

    Who had the BMW? I always wanted to build a cafe racer around an old Beemer.

    I just got a 2013 BMW F700GS factory Low for my wife. It's their 796cc parallel twin motor by rotax I believe. The bike is very comfortable and confidence inspiring. It's just down on HP by about 40 vs the Buell.
