I'm letting Bent know that I'd take the Caterham over the Buell, for a couple of reasons.
The Buell, there is only so far you can modify it and have fun. The Caterham, a lifetime of tinkering. Secondly, if you've got any riding skillz, it becomes apparent real quickly that the cornering/go fast capability of the bike is way more than you want to explore on the street. I remember being out on a "test" ride when I was still at Buell, and looking up at the door handles of the Crown Vic going the other way as I dragged my knee around the corner
Unless you live near US129. I could see myself selling everything to live in a trailerpark in TN, just to ride my Buell every day and make the front page of killboy.com every week
