It's like a car accident, you don't want to look but you cant help yourself.
Dood, you are now officially a F***ing Troll.

"Introducing the 2010 Buell Blast"
"The Buell Blast was a cute little motorcycle. It just never made much of a sportbike. But, as luck would have it, it makes a killer ottoman. Or end table. Or art piece. Through an innovative process known as crushing, we've turned a limited number of Blasts into colorful metal cubes, each numbered and signed by Erik Buell himself. Topped with a piece of glass, there's no better home for your feet, an AMA magazine, or a hot cup of coffee. Hey, there's no denying the Blast's aforementioned cuteness. But there's nothing cute about racing or riding a sportbike the way it was meant to be ridden. And while racing and sportbikes have always been important at Buell, they are now officially the only thing that matters. So the Blast will not be moving forward. In fact, in its new configuration, it can't really move at all."

The reason the Ford Talladega sold out is Ford only had to build 500 units and that was total units including race cars I doubt they sold more than 2 or 300 street cars. The same number of Dodge Daytona's were sold in the 1969 model year, but NASCAR required that for the 1970 model year Plymouth had to sell some where between 1700 and 1900 units. That is why Superbirds were actually driven on the street they weren't rarer than hens teeth the first year of production. |

Boyd/DucDood,
I think that you are perfectly entitled your opinions about Buell and the MoCo.
The issue is that you base your statements off of opinion only. The mojority of what you have said up until now has been pure conjecture.
I can say, like the vast majority of the members here on BadWeb who actually own and ride Buell motorcycles, that when there have been any issues, Buell and MoCo stepped and made sure that the issue were resolved at no charge to the consumer. I've owned 3 Buells (05' XB9SX, '05 XB12R, & '08 1125R), 1 Triumph('02 Speed Triple, and a Husqvarna ('99 SM 610). I can say with all certainty that the Buells have been the most reliable and the easiest maintain motorcycles that I've ever owned.
I think your observations or the general publics perceptions are based on misinformation. Not of facts.
I welcome you to show me raw data or irrefutable evidence about reliability issues that were not handled as a factory recall or warranty claim.
Just so you would know, the reason why I brought my first Buell was because of reliability issues with my Speed Triple and poor customer service from Triumph and its dealer network.
So don't think that I'm just drinking the Kool-aid. |

Fair enough Swampdog, Good Post. It is just an opinion. I understand your statement. |

That ad is awesome! I used to have a Blast. Good starter bike for a young kid. But not exactly what Buell does best. |
