Signature element of the 1991 were:
  • First year for a single front brake caliper on a Buell.
  • First year for an inverted front suspension.
  • First year for the 5 Speed


There's quite a story (yet another moment in time that dealt Buell a gut punch) behind that 5-speed. . . remind me to tell you.

They made 67 (I believe) 91RS1200s

91 also saw Buell switch from Marazocchi forks and Works shocks to all
WP suspension, but the early 91 bikes could have a mix of suspension pieces. (that bike is all WP tho).

Jim:

I was left with the impression that the bike had not been ridden in a while. I will check with the owner and get back to you. My inspection makes me think that it may still have original tires . . .which may be hard as rocks after 16 years.

Jim:

I spoke with the mechanic that services the bike . . .he said in the recent oil/filter/tune it ran fine and can't think of any reason why it should not be ready for the road. He said he would take a look at the tires and/or determine if they may need replacing due to age.
