I would have preferred if they had gone with a triple, to give at least a nod to some of their older machines, but the fact that they have developed an inline four tends to support the notion that there is an optimal configuration for a sportbike.
It would be nice if Buell did better but until Eric and company get away from cruiser-spawned engine concepts, they simply won't be able to compete on an equal footing. Twins are viable, especially on tighter tracks, but not if they carry enough excess mass to build a second engine.
