one of main reason I bought a Buell was because it is an AMERICAN bike ,with a V-twin harley engine(& harley/HOTROD/MUSCLE CAR sound), and all the very unquie looks and very unquie innovations from BUELL. I dont want something that everyone else has.
but here is the better explaination of why I love & own my buell!
When & where I first saw my first BUELL !
well mine of all places was at an airshow in 97 or 98. when the annoucer said after this mig fly by there was a race between a plane (super fast acrobatic plane) and a motorcycle, but not any bike an american bike powered by a harley davidson. when the bike went out to the runway (which was at least 300yards away ) you could hear the bikes engine roaring like some muscle car , so i watched and the bike took off down the runway , when about half way down the plane caught up and it was head to head the rest of the way with the plane just above him and to his left , all until the BUELL had to slow down because he was running out of runway. the plane pulled straight up flying to about 3000 ft and did some acrobatics. the buell cruised down in front of the crowd rolling down the taxi way and over to his display with the other buells. so had to go see this awesome bike. I talked to the guys there, n they told me the whole buell story. i looked the bike and the other buells thunderbolts n lightnings, cyclones. I fell in love with how the sounded and looked like nothing else i ever seen before or since, n how you could see everthing on the bike nothing was hidden , like a work of art showing off all its details. i thought how nice n cool it would be have one of those bikes. then a year or 2 later the X1 lightning came out, and made my mind up then that one day when could afford it i would own a buell. well have a Buell now, not a X1 (yet) but a XB12R Buell . funny thing is i cant remember which kinda of buell the race bike was, dont think i asked them that, i was to awe struck, from these buells.
Your-first-Buell-sighting might explain some others reason too!
extreme nice tuber above. an X1 is on my list next then 1125 when i can afford it of course.
