[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 593124, member: 3460"] Thanks for the corrections and additions, Froggy ("Helicon" etc.) I was working from my 53-year-old and apparently impaired memory. I really had no serious complaints with the bike other than almost total loss of power during the described conditions. How a bike can be released to the public with this flaw is beyond me, though. There is no good excuse. I'd even contend the condition is potentially dangerous. As you roll off after finding the dead spot, the power spurts back in. Not cool at all. This is not the government's fault. Overall, I am delighted Buell may be on track to build a competitive sport bike; even the price is competitive. Further, this engine platform has the potential to power a whole range of derivative products including sport touring machines. I'm sure additional refinement will yield the power plant they need and want. It's a shame it was released a little before it was actually ready for prime time. I've always wondered why HD didn't allow Eric & Co. to use and really develop the V-Rod engine. [/QUOTE]
