Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I like the concept of sporty bike with a Harley motor. The Buell concept is a good one, but I find the construction to be a bit shoddy, especially for what is essentially a hand-built motorcycle. Yet despite its quirks, I love the bike and happily live with them. Everyone has his of her own idiosyncracies!
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Go back to a bigger model using the H-D V-Rod motor in the tradition of the S1/2/3 Series. I'm not interested at all in the new XB line, especially the Ulysses. I find the Ulysses an ugly bike and no where as stylish as the old tube-framed models.
