Why did you buy your Buell?

[Dave A]

I bought mine for three reasons. I was crazy about about the looks, the price was right, and it had a 2 year warranty.

 

[ronmetzler]

because they are bad ass.

 

[natez1]

Looks, performance,eccentric.

To piss the wife off ! She told me if I sold my car I could get a motorcycle so I did , what a BEOTCH !!!!

 

[Dragonslayer]

Mine's a Ulysses XT. Got it for curve handling, 2 up riding, touring, and I like having something different than everyone else. The Uly is awesome for all of these.

 

[WALLSXB]

Dragon-----saw your pics , I've never seen a Uly lean like that ! AWSOME !!!!! [up]

 

[Dragonslayer]

I wanted to be different. Period. I wanted a sport bike that was loud and different. i hate fitting in with the crowd

Firesale price. Plain and simple.

I saw my first one when a preppy guy at our church had one, he had a lighting with a race kit, and it thought it was the most bad ass thing I had seen. I lived with my grandparents and they wouldn't allow it until I moved out on my own, so I moved out at 19 and started looking, started off with a blast because i wanted something that didn't matter if it was totaled cause it only cost me 1k, and a few months later I got my bolt, now 2 wrecks and many many mods later, I will never part with my bolt.... no matter what! I would get ride of my car first and live on the street. I got the bolt because of the looks, low maintence, and because, I mean look at 'em, they are totally bad ass and why would you want a bike that you will see everywhere!?

American company, sound great, torquey, different from the cookie-cutter 600s and Liter Japan made bikes, looks cool, handles great thru town and in the canyons.

I saw a guy in fatigues on an XB12S and I instantly fell in love to me it beauty and art in motion. I had to have one. Truely awesome since I live in the Land of Gixxers and cookie cutters.

Firesale price.  Plain and simple.

Me too. The bike "needed" me. It was a leftover '07 in fall '09. All the 1125s were flying out of the dealership with the incentives, followed by the Ulys. The air-cooled bikes were sitting; particularly this one.

Now, having said that, none of that reflects how I feel about the bike now, or how much fun it's been.

I got a Buell cause I wanted an American bike and a bike that is unique. Bought it full price (minus a small military discount) 3 months before the shut down announcement and the firesale, but I could care less, would have paid double if I had to.

 

[RHYNOXB9R]

The Buell is different in every aspect of desigen,from the ground up.I will never buy anything that is run of the mill.I have a tattoo on my wrist,N.B.I. which means never blend in.Always fight for the unique.

 

[xtremelow]

They are simply put the best bang for the buck!

 

[Ralph S]

Always liked them and was interested in them but had other bikes. Finally the super low price convinced me in February of 2010 and i got 09 XB12R. I was hooked and sold my CBR1000. Now i got 2 Buells, couple of months ago i got another one, a 2000 M2.

 

[Loki]
