Buells are good on gas? Have the mileage issues for the 08+ models been resolved? It sounded like they were much less 'good on gas' than the 07- models. |

People actually buy the 9 still? Must be why they are down to one model! |

Mileage?pshh its too much fun to worry about mileage. Any of the bikes gets better MPG than an Excursion, thats good enough for me. |

Many American riders have a 'lust for speed' and have lost the 'passion for motorcycling'. Therefore, Buell is often overlooked. Real motorcyclists love my Buell. Squids talk about how much faster they are. Who cares. |

Heck - 16 isn't bad. The SV650 at racing speed barely got 17-18 on a stock engine. |

I avg ~40mpg, and that's almost all city riding, and hauling ass whenever I can. I would say that's some damn good mileage for a vehicle with enough power to wheelie just by snapping the throttle open |
