Someone mentioned to me that they read an article on the internet (of all places) that Buell was looking at water cooled engines. I have never heard that before. In fact I thought I had seen Erik Buell on a video talking about the air-cooled engine as the deal for Buell Motorcycles. That's one of the things I like about my Buell. Is there any truth to this idea of an eventual water cooled engine for Buell? | ||

Only if it could be made as light and compact as an aircooled - lol GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

I don't think we'll see one before 2007. I believe it was some Anon who mentioned that even the current line of XB's exceed the emmissions' regulations for 2006. | ||

Actually, they meet/exceed 2008 emissions. | ||

I don't want no stinkin' water cooled engine! | ||
| Whodom |
Actually, they meet/exceed 2008 emissions. And that's without a catalytic converter, which could always be added (like on some Euro bikes). | ||

I had read a quote from Erik in an old copy of a UK magazine that they were within "a micron" of the 2008 California Standards, and would meet Euro 3 but it may take a catalyst to do that. | ||

That's what I like to hear. No water for me, thanks. | ||

Yup, and it looks like I'll have a watercooled S3T a lot this next week   | ||

As long as it stays sunny for Wednesday! | ||

Personally Koz, I'd like what it looks like. Partly cloudy. Don't wanna be racin' around and squintin' and stuff  | ||

Let me rephrase that... As long as it stays DRY for Wednesday! |
