Hey Chop, You've born up admirably and have gone waaay beyond the call of duty with regard to patience. I think I speak for Blake and Badweb when I say "nothing but blue skies" from Badweb to you. But I'm sure you'll get a personal positive from him. Thanks for your efforts. |

Very well done Chop. Buell should hire you to shoot some documentary footage at Laguna Seca next month. Jim |

Hello: I haven't had a bike in some years and I've got the itch. I have a 100 miles/day commute (80 freeway, 10 surface street, no twisty-turny stuff)) and am wondering if a CityX is a good candidate. That's 25k miles/year and 100k in the four more years I expect to work. Is that a totally unrealistic expectation? Should I be considering a different Buell? Different bike?} Thanks, |

Wannab- The CityX is an awesome bike, tons of fun. The only strike against it for commuting would be the lack of wind protection which would apply to any naked bike. I don't think anyone has hit 100k miles with an XB yet, but there are a few badwebbers with XBs in the 40-60k mile range. I don't see any reason to think that an XB wouldn't make it to 100k miles. |

Spike- Thanks! I know I'll want a wind-shield of some sort and I've heard the back tire can make a mess of your clothing in wet weather without some sort of addition. I appreciate the info about the miles. Tires are something else. My business case would look a bit better if gasoline were higher. Thanks again, |

He Powder coated my headers on my bike for me. week after i got them back the powdercoat started burning off, doubt he used high temp powder coating. told him about the problem and now he wont respond. |

Hello everyone, I want to buy a buell. I need one with some room for a passenger. I'm 6'2" 230 lbs and my wife is 6' 130 lbs. I like to sit a little more upright than a full sporty position. I think I want a Thunderbolt. I want the one with the best motor. Do any of you have some info for me as far as what year is the best? Any help would really be nice. I believe the S3T is my best bet. What do all of you think? Thanks a lot!! John |

John, Maybe check out a Ulysses, go to Buell.com and have a look. |

John, I'll let the tube-frame guys speak to your questions about the S3T. I always wanted one but gave up on them when they went out of production before I was ready to buy. I would up with a 12R Firebolt instead and I've never looked back. The XBs have a lot going for them. But, I don't have a passenger. The Ulysses has the benefit of being the newest Buell from an engineering standpoint. I encourage you to also look for a test ride and/or a late-year deal on the Lightning Long, if you don't plan on needing the hard bags. |

The M2's might work for you too. They had a couple of inches of extra wheelbase and I find the accomodations pretty good at 6"/220lbs. Should handle your size and needs. The seat is a killer for most people after an hour or two but a rebuild or replacement can cure that. I've decided to move on to something more cruiser oriented, I think that is more suitable for my age and mentality. If I was going to own two or more bikes I'd keep the M2 and just add to the stable but I can't do that. The M2 has been a lot of fun and a great intro to the Buells and the H-D V-twins for me. The M2's were made through 2002 and were pretty well debugged, trouble free, and reliable in the last couple of model years. Jack |

M2 and S3 are pretty much the same bike under the skin -- S3T is a better 2-up mount, though -- seats a lil bigger (some love em, seatsw that is, some, like Jack, above, ain't so fond of the stock perch, but that's easily altered) S3 has a better quality fork than the M2, more adjustability (more ways to screw it up, too {grin}) -- the available hard bags make it a great touring mount (though anything can be an Iron Butt sled if you want) the XB series scoots are much more advanced technologically -- reliability is better, as well (tho any S2 on the street will likely have had all the kinks worked out) if I was looking for a good 2-up scoot was lookin hard at Buells, I'd include a Uly in the list of things to test ride -- great reports from their owner/operators |

hello everyone how are you? im trying to find out if the stock headers off of a 2002 buell m2 cyclone will fit on my 1999 s3 thunderbolt |

Dbuell99tbolt, It will fit, but it does not have the Oxygen sensor bung on it that your fuel injected bike needs. 1313 |

1313 thanks i think my bike was modified because my oxygen sensor is in the headers but it isnt hooked up to anything and it runs good |
