BRUTAL BAT-BIKE FRA BUELL
Buell 1125 CR: Staten Wisconsin har rigtig meget skønt at byde på. USA’s største vandland ”Noahs Ark”, American UFO Sci-Fi Museum samt det altid populære outdoor museum ”Little Norway”. Men har du ikke den store trang til vand imellem tæerne eller synes du også at det er åndssvagt at rejse til USA for at se de norske fjelde, byder Wisconsin også på Buell - Rendyrket forlystelse på to hjul.

Aldrig har jeg haft det så forrygende som jeg har haft det i rodeosadlen på denne præmietyr af en motorcykel. Og tro mig, jeg har det ligesom dagen før juleaften af bare iver for at få lov til at beskrive den for jer. Og ligesom jeg har svært ved ikke at komme til at fortælle, hvad der er i de gaver jeg giver til personer, jeg holder af, er jeg enormt dårlig til at holde inde med ting jeg virkelig gerne vil ud med.
Så lad mig bare slå det fast med det samme. Denne cykel er fantastisk! Brutal råstyrke Vi havde godt nok lovet at teste Buell XB9SX til dette nummer, men selv ikke i Wisconsin laves der produkter som kan undgå at blive totalskadet ved styrt. Og nej, det var ikke mig…Ud fra navnet kan læses, at dens motor er på 1125ccm. Desuden kan jeg berette om, at den leverer imponerende 147 heste til at trække en sølle vægt på 170 kilo.

Fint med begejstring, for testobjektet men begrund det istedet for som fx her:"Den går fra 0-100 på ufattelig kort tid, og fra 100-260 på ligeså ufattelig kort tid."
Ikke alene er det sprogligt fantasiløst skrevet, men det er også usandt.
Det siger vel sig selv at den ikke accelererer lige så hurtigt fra 100-260 som fra 0-100, eller??
Det burde være muligt at finde en dygtig anmelder, også for Gear. Dertil hører Tommy Rønn helt klart ikke! Peter Rahbek, ligeledes fra den blå avis er klart okay, omend han kan gå rigtigt meget i detaljen nogen gange.
