one of the bike i'm looking at is the buell 1125r i know its a v-twin and will be different from the jap bikes i have owned (636/zx14) but i think this bike might be better for the experience i have but power i still want. i'm not going to buy a 600 sometimes i ride 2 up and i'm not a little guy.
i'm hoping to test drive one soon as my left leg starts working again

*edit, 1125r with fairings
plus its an american bike and thats a big plus for me, not to mention used they are very well priced, but i just don't know what to make of those ram air vents
