Compared to some of the limited edition Ducs, that seems reasonable.

My local dealer has one of those on the floor. Called an 1190RS I think. Not a 2-stroke, has a larger muffler in the belly pan. Would never pay that much for it though. Here is the link:

Weird. The older Buells had the bellypan exhaust ... I wonder what the little pipes are for?

Yes even then.

Being bought out by VW doesnt help things? When was the last time VW buying something didnt improve on a brand? Almost everything they own is top notch.
