Zero.
I believe that any S-2's produced in 1994 were titled as 1995. My S-2 # 244 was produced in July, 1994. I've also seen June bikes as 1995's.

Yeah. . . I think it's Jerry but without the thumb I can't be sure.

Bring back the thumb!

My S2 (Yellowjacket Pearl like the one pictured above) has a 1994 build date, and is a 95 model. BTW is it just me or is the brake on the one above rusty? : )

"BTW is it just me or is the brake on the one above rusty?"

That's how they're supposed to be, they don't like to be left sitting for too long.

By the way, where's the kickstand holding it up for the photo?????

Check out the magazine to see the real "first" version of what also didn't work out as a kickstand. Photoshop was harder to do in '94 but it was done! I bet Buell wishes they did have some 94 model year bikes. I think the deal came together a bit slower than all involved would have liked. I have the magazine, and the first yellow S-2 that was sold in MN. It's been a few different colors since then. It's still the best ride in the stable. I have promised it in my will to my son. But, he has to sell the Ducati first.

Km is correct - Zero....My S2 is #34 built in March of 94 and purchased in June of the same year - It is a 95.

well, i guess the fact there weren't any '94 Thunderbolts made would make this issue of Cycle World pretty desirable, considering they did a cover photo and feature story on one.

the auction ends tonight. : )
