|
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I didn't know they existed until I moved to CA. My brother owns an XB9R and I rode it and loved it. I had my Superglide in for warranty and rented an 1125r for 2 weeks. Apart from the fact that they originally struck me as completely novel bikes, I found that their appeal to me was in the unreal handling and broad power band. I was a WERA F-2 racer and I loved my TZ dearly. But the other sport bikes around today seem too homogeneous and lack character.
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Leave that to Eric.
