I'm just thinking that they have such a small share of total bike sales that their network couldn't be as good as others. I don't really know, I don't know anyone that owns a triumph to ask about parts availability.

http://www.buell.com/en_ca/bikes/street/XB12Scg/ It's two inches lower just for short people like you! lol
And I do believe they used to make a 984cc version that you could likely pick up fairly cheap. Then there's the lack of maintenance. No chain to lube or replace, no valve adjustments, no coolant to flush or worry about. Makes most of it's power where you need it. And it'd be fairly cheap... |

My bad. They only make the 1200. But, it's a very managable 100hp. And with you on it, you'd never have to replace the front tire.

I'm with Tmall....BUELL!!!!
I like the look of that Buell WAY better over the Kawi. I think the Kawi is a wee bit on the ugly side. |
