Uly is big, but on the street who cares? They handle real well and can carry a lot of gear, or even your wife in comfort. Tried that once on the Hyper, that was enough, like riding her on the GasGas. She liked the VRod. Buell made a SM version of the newer frame, I forget the model, but it looked cool. Would be unique. Hypers are very soulful bikes, I really miss it, but honestly the suspension sucks for such a high end bike. If the pavement gets rough the bike gets very confused. The fork has a sealed(crimped) cartridge that cannot be opened and revalved. Thats the kind of thing that pisses me off about Ducatis, The Buell on the other hand, while not very flashy and a bit odd, has much better stock suspension.
