Also, less vibration than a twin under full throttle, and doesn't feel like it's going to stall out or break its connecting rods if you lug it.

maybe if someone other than triumph made them, everyone I know with a 675 for a daily ride has had nothing but problems with them.

That's one way to do it! Maybe you can get the forum's "sanctioning body" to make all of your posts post twice to make it "fair"....

Really? I could have sworn that I read that it's a lighter combination... Hmmm... I'll have to check.

I don't think it weighs more or sucks up more power. But it's quite complicated keeping the proper tension on it, that's why you can't just change pulleys. Plus iirc race starts are hard on the belt cogs.

Yea, I've heard the same but conversely, the 1050 seems to be okay...

So what did you think about MotoGP having twice the displacement the 500 2-strokes had?

No problem with that because everyone switched and they all have the same type engine and size.

How many do you know?

What kind of problems?

I've owned 2 1/2 675's and have only had one problem that was factory error.

I thought that EB had come up with some innovative tensional system that eliminated drive line lash. Besides, race starts are just as hard on aluminum sprockets aren't they?

I'm a little late to the party here but...is this thread really about Buell racing their liter bike against Japan and Italy's 600cc bikes????

hahahahaha, that's the lamest thing I've ever heard. How pathetic is it that America still can't build a bike to truly compete with Japan in the 600cc and 1000cc categories on the street AND the track?

If Buell is so great why don't/can't they simply build a powerful enough 600cc motor to compete with???!??!?? Pathetic.
