If there's a book-list thread existing in Forum, please direct me to it. Otherwise, this thread may seed a "reading list" around: 'historical, technical, and Buell aligned' books. I'm more interested in Sportsters since August this year (buying 1st Buell). (Are XBs today's "real" H-D sportsters?) Anyway, I found & ordered book below, <$30. *Harley-Davidson Sportster Performance Handbook* By Buzz Buzzelli Published by MotorBooks/MBI Publishing Company, 1997, ISBN 076030307X, 9780760303078, 256 pages. | ||

Good idea! I bought an XB9 recently after riding a Blast for three seasons and want to learn more about riding technique. I recently noticed someone recommended: "Total Control" by Lee Parks as a good book on riding. | ||

"(Are XBs today's "real" H-D sportsters?)" Really the questions should be are todays Sportsters "real" Buell motors. Sportsters dream of having what a Buell has under the hood, so to speak. We won't even get started on the handling side. | ||

Hopefully you are getting the 3rd edition of Buzz's book. The third edition came out in '06. Another good one is Kip Woodring's "Sportster/Buell Engine Hop-up Guide" | ||

I have both of Code's books. I found them...boring as hell...and never finished book 1. Code may be a great instructor, but a writer? Not. Woodring's book is very good and an interesting read, as is the Buzzelli book. A big thumbs-up on Total Control book as well. Another really good pair are David Hough's "Proficient Motorcycling" and "More Proficient Motorcycling", especially for the new or semi-new rider...and yes! You CAN teach an old rider new tricks! |
