I was thinking about the parts thing. Buell is no more, but the parent company is still around and probably will be for a while longer. In the unlikely event that their upper management grows a brain*, they'll probably bring back Buell or something like it.

I just made some phone calls and will probably also be looking at an '05 Kawasaki Ninja 250 tomorrow.

*One of my drinking buddies works for "The Motor Company", so I hear about it all the time.
