Blake, I agree with Tim. Your results will be skewed if it is by bike rather than customers. But then the numbers would be unfavorable to Buell so I know that you would not want that..... LURCH |

But if all Buells suck, wouldn't owning multiple bikes make you hate Buell even more? Hey Blake, how many unique hits are you getting a week so we know how many aren't answering? |

THese numbers speak volumes, especially when you consider that most disgruntely owners go away after selling their bikes...These are just the poeople that stuck around (which says something in itself, that ex-owners still hang around). Vik |

Hmmm If Blake wants to play the "numbers game" Hows about this? Both my wife & my name appear on the title of the X1, she hates it more than I do, so that counts as 2 unsatisfieds. Also she had a 2000 Blast & was dissatisfied with the power delivery & overall poor service she received. I agree with her so that makes 2 more unsatisfieds for the Blast. Thats a total of 4 unsatisfieds here if you have been keeping track. |

1998 S1W. Bought new. Satisfied, only because it was toataled before i had any problems with it. 10k on clocks when binned. 1998 S1W, bought used, with 2,300 miles.18k now showing. Disatisified. Way to many little problems to make it a trustworthy ride, and like someone stated, is primarly a local ride bike for me. |

1997 S3 - New - 48,000 miles - very satisfied but had a helluva time getting rid of it 1996 S2 - New - 27,500 miles - very satisfied - my current Buell ride 1996 S2T - bought it crashed and parted it out 1995 S2 - bought it as a basket-case and sold it unfinished (LSR bike now, ask Richard in a week or so) 1996 S1 - Used - not sure how many miles(10K?) are currently on it - never liked the bike and while it did not break on me it has broken several times on the current owner My overall opinion of the bikes I've owned is "satisfied". Now here's the kicker. I recommended a 2000 M2 to a good friend. The bike has had almost every failure you could think of. It's been in the shop over half the time he's owned it. It dropped a valve one month to the day after it went out of warranty. The dealer refused to even look at it. It's setting in my garage because he owes more than it's worth and he can't afford to pay for the rebuild out of his pocket. I think his vote should count and since he's not part of the digital age yet I'll post it for him. MikeJ if you need to verify ping me off board and I'll give you his phone. James Cornett 2000 M2 - New - 14,000(estimated due to the sensor being broke, again) - unsatisfied |

2001 Blast new 6700 miles. Most unreliable vehicle (2 or 4 wheel) I've ever owned. Dissatisfied. 2002 M2L new 19'000 miles. Satisfied. I doubt if most people who had my experiences on a Blast would take the leap of faith required to trade up. |
