quote:

A Buell with a liquid-cooled engine . . . perhaps, based on the Harley-Davidson V-Rod. Housed in the modern, XB9 chassis, it could be a killer combination -- the engine Buell has long needed.

'could be a killer combination' -- that part is true.
quote:

Rumors of a new Buell have surfaced.

for now, just a rumor, a wish maybe. something not many have chosen to comment on around here.

Sat at a table at a wedding reception over the weekend with a Buell supplier employee. The company he works for makes some parts for Buells. I won't say what parts they make, but he did have more quesitons than answers on the 2004+ offerings. YMMV.

Yeah, telling us he works for a manufacturer of water pumps or heat exchangers might give things away. LOL!! joker

Let's just say they don't do plastic. ;)

And I'll add that his end of where he works probably makes parts that probably won't change which is why he probably didn't know or probably didn't want to say anything. Probably. :)

I will say that he sat two chairs away and I didn't smell one drop of antifreeze.

With some of the rumors I've heard and read...
The changes are to be so radical...
My XB will be a classic by next summer!

I guess someone slipped the news about the supercharged turbo hydramatic.

Rumors on this board are one thing, but for Motorcycledaily to post something so ridiculous really damages their credibility. “Rumors” of a liquid cooled Buell have been around since the VR1000.

If it's ever liquid cooled and pushrod, I'm all for it.
