This year I'm using my X1W every day to commute into our beautiful state capitol (Harrisburg, PA which is basically a ghetto populated during the week by 10,000 psychotic government workers) and I've seen one Ulysses out on the road and that's it. I had one S1W owner come over in Harrisburg and comment on how he never sees any Buells around and today one fellow on a Yamaha mentioned that he has an S3 at home and he never sees any Buells out, either. Am I the last bozo still using a tube frame Buell as an everyday, do everything motorcycle? |

I ride my 1998 S3T or S1W almost daily in the summer. The S3T extends my riding season on both ends with the right gear and heated grips. I'm amazed at the number of people that think its some new exotic or a custom. |

I ride my M2 as much as I can, which means when I am not hauling tools. There is probably a formula that states the longer a particular model is from production the more spread out the remaining bikes are divided by the reduction in total # of bikes due to a scrap rate. We are out here we are just spread out. |

I had seen one other Buell (blue S1) coming home from work last year while riding mine. There are others around me (one from State College & "Toona" from Altoona). As for exotic bike I always get "boy that sounds like a Harley". I just reply with "yea I get that a lot"....lol MM |

I ride my 2000 S3T to work everyday it is not raining (~65 miles round trip), including the winter months which have been pretty dry around here lately. I go through about 3 sets of tires a year, sometimes 4 due to the nature of the roads (half mountain twistes, half highway), and my current attitude. I had a guy in a new Corvette flag me to the side of the road a couple of weeks ago to ask about my bike (I lane split to the front of the line waiting for the light and he was next to me). He had heard of Buell's, but thought they were limited exotic bikes and didn't know that HD owned them. The "American Motorcycles" sticker caught his eye. |

I see them fairly regular, maybe once a week? 2 days ago I was passed by a very clean white S1. And there's a yellow Ulysses that has opposite commute from me. |

My 96 S1 has been and will continue to be ridden all over the country for work and pleasure. I think I have plenty of backup parts to last a while... |

110 miles a day on my X1 if I don't take a detour to the mountains. I usually see another buell about every other week. Though usually not a tuber. |

I ride mine to work as often as possible (rain or shine). I haven't seen ANY tubers, just XBs mostly. You'd think that with all the craigslist BUELLs in my area you'd see more of them. |

I treat the S2 like a exotic and limit it to one day a week commuting 60+ miles .. I have other disposable bikes to put miles on |
