Broken primary tensioner at 21,500 miles on my M2. My front pulley was DOA within a couple of miles after that. My S1W was plagued with issues. Kinda glad it got stolen.

It's close to perfect right now. Just small detail-oriented tweeks left to do.
|
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
I like to ride from Kalamazoo heading west on Red Arrow Hwy toward South Haven Lake Michigan and then once there, head north up the coastline to Holland. Its about 4-5 hours round trip. Which, by the way, I used to take on my S1W with a stock seat!! I have an ass of iron.
|
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
There is nothing out there that has the sound of a Buell. I have had a zillion bikes. Three Buells, a ZX-6R Ninja, a Triumph Legend, a 1973 Sportster, a 1996 Springer Soft tail, an early Harley Sprint, a 1988 883 Hugger and even the Harleys that Ive owned dont sound like a Buell. I like the seating position because you feel more in-control. It's like a big dirtbike. From the moment that I sat on one, it felt natural and I was very much in love with everything about it. It always turns heads where ever I go. More than any bike Ive ever owned.
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Dont be a victim of peer pressure. I love them just the way they are. Theyve never offered any excuses for what they are and shouldnt start now.
