Word on the street is that Buell is one of the better handling bikes on the road. I'd have to imagine racing was on their minds when designing the bike chassis. Why make a bike so track capable if it was never meant to be tracked? And if that's the case why throw an air cooled HD motor in it? Seems like they had an engine group and a chassis group and neither of them met to discuss bike capabilities.
