I agree with all that's been said, particularly the comments about the hit you'd take on the resale of that appliance.

I will, in defense of your purchase of the humble B-last, say that it is an instant collectible on par with the failed/insanely homely likes of the AMC Pacer, or the Edsel. With the factory crushing program currently being run, maybe you could send it to Buell when you've had your fun with it in order to turn it into a coffee table and tell your friends: "that's the bike my wife learned on..."

Okay, forget it. Find yourself a EX500 or an SV650.
