Noobtastic14 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 with no delay this bike is on sale down here on Travis AFB for 4,900$ and gets 50+mpg i was wondering everybody's opinion on the bike and how it compares to your average gxr, cbr, or yamaha. Personally i <3 the Buell's Large frame, Massive outer front brake roter, Tucked under hidden exhaust and short wheelbase. and of course you cant beat American Vtwin sounds perfect for a commuter bike for college and back... i know this bike does not directly compare to the SuperSport models mentioned, but this is not for pure speed and race rather for daily riding and enjoyment. i'll wheelie the shit outa anything with a motor so thats no problem :ph34r: :ph34r: -Drew (opinions welcome but plz keep bashing to a minimum.)

Aaron813 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ive always loved the look of the Buells i think they are pretty quick also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) yeah I've never had the pleasure of riding one as of yet. Hopefully i'll take this one for a quick spin soooon. i forgot to mention the SOUND of a buell is so much beefier than those of its 4cyl brothers -Drew edit: Ive always loved the look of the Buells i think they are pretty quick also have you ridden one? if so what was your experience like??

str86diesel Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The Buell's are nice..but they are definately not a sport bike if that is what you are looking for. They are v-twin motors and pack much more torque than a sportbike and lack the top end. I totally like the look of the Buell's but will never own one. They had major problems when they first came out with leaking motors and such...i'm not sure if that ever got cleaned up, as I haven't followed them much. Definatley take it for a test ride before purchasing it. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 yeah i like the power characteristics of the high torque less high end, was never really a fan of the screamers. i think it would be a perfect sporty (by looks and feel) bike to take to school to back, and maybe around the hills on weekends. I also read about the issues when they first came out, but i believe that was shortly fixed. the gas is also kept in the frame section, and oil in the swing arm which took several years to clean up the hiccups. if only i had MOAR MONEY -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
