Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
American muscle stuffed in a light, nimble sportbike chassis, plus it confuses the hell out of cruisers and other drivers with "Angry Sportster Sounds" coming out of it. Very unique and high tech with the integrated fuel and oil tanks. Gets all kinds of compliments and attention, standing still or going down the road. What's not to like?
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Soft/Rubber mount the rear view mirrors so I can see exactly what's behind me at a stop light. Flush mount the turn signals for appearance. Get rid of the cheese grater in the back and make a more sleek mount for the license plate. A firebolt long would be nice too. I love the look, but I need as much fuel as I can get with a long commute.
|

Don't ride it like you stole it, ride it like you've had it forever and you want a new one.
