|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I used to own a motorcycle shop in Canada. Did some road race. In 95 heard about Buell and took a test ride. Immediately fell in love with the low end torque and exquisite handling. Love to be able to ride both with the Harley crowd and with the rice burner crotch rockets.

How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Unfamiliar with recent events so no valid opinion.

Cannot conceive of not having a scoot, even though I ride it shamelessly seldom.
