I did and it was... I found this Buell training video from the Wisconsin plant at the time and it might just be the nudge I need to take the old Buell for a winter project. At the very least this is a design that was well thought out for its day. If they are willing to part with one that has only 6000 miles for 5k I think it will be sitting in my garage next week.
I've got an MV REPARTO COURSE T shirt not available in shops

your opinion will carry weight youyou, can you elaborate? mechanical, comfort, maneuverability? Please I have a feeling it won't be there very long and I need more information fast. Keep in mind the difference is financing a Ducati which I cant find one that seats me well and out of pocket for this used over powered scooter
I looked at one because I liked the design and air cooled engine. Then I road one and it was just shonky.
Bought a Ducati 750ss instead which was an absolute disaster but looked lovely. So what do I know.

Shonky; of poor or low quality. Not to be confused with "Wonky", which means much the same thing, but typically refers to structures, such as buildings, walls, etc.
All right youyou then I shall pay even less for the "shonky" I think I will actually call it shonky. This ones in Wisconsin with a few perks for 1200.00 less than a new PCX Yes that's right you could own this shonky for 3500.00 today

You could get a dose of the clap off a whore for a whole lot less.
And a dose of the clap would be easier to get rid of.

AH HA! I DID IT! Hard to get both of you in one of my posts... WOOT! this is a GREAT DAY! Can I make you an avatar GN? btw what is it you don't like about the poor mans Ducati, I would value your opinion as well. Taking it on the road tomorrow for a test run in the morning will decide soon because DAHAM if looks could kill.

I will most likely bring the Buell Firebolt XB9R home, even you Brits couldn't really find anything to hate about it.

We could. It's simply shit and needs to be cheap. Again, what to I know. Just had a fantastic family day with the kids,grandkids and friends in my LDV schoolbus
Search on LDV and realise there aren't many worse vehicles in the civilised world

AH HA... LDV school bus, only in recent years have these become popular stateside. A van with the roof cut out and a topper so's one can stand up meets the service industry needs quite well. We Americans were slow to get with it mostly just used them for ambulance and swat teams Everything from carpet cleaners to locksmiths are driving them now from all the American auto makers.

Yea I see those are looking pretty cheesy. I guess I will learn how to swap grips after all. Got to go make some room in the man cave, Shay Whitey's going to have to share with Shonky.

Your buell is similar in concept to my old BMW boxer cup.
Execution is worlds apart. Damn Germans . Do we have any German PCXers?
