I'm not saying Buel isn't a good bike... just saying they're not as refined as any of the Big Jap 4.
The newest reflash has completely sorted out every issue you speak of. Did they rush to get them out? Of course. But Buell is a top notch company who takes care of it's customers. They have corrected the issues and now Cutty is left with an outstanding motorcycle.

I think the buell kids are attempting to outdue the Ducatistis for snobbish brand loyalty. It's a shame they don't have nearly as good of a bike though.

Don't kid yourself. The bikes are just fine.

seriously... we get it, your bike is different... that doesn't make it better, just makes you a weird cult.

Yeah look at all the people racing them and doing well...





I don't care what ANYONE says... there is no better option than to ride/race a bike that is cheaper, more reliable, has a SHITLOAD of parts both OEM and aftermarket available new and used, and is just as good or better performance-wise than the "niche" bikes. It's a no-brainer.

I agree, there is a market for buells and the people that ride them love them, so more power to them. You got to like what you ride and not everyone is out to be a racer. Hence, why I will probably buy a adventure tourer in the near future. I just like giving marko and cutty a hard time cause it's the TWFix way.

I understand that. CEO is always yapping about how they do in races. Who cares? I don't race. Most guys who ride Buells don't race. They are not advertised as race bikes...they are advertised as STREET bikes. I get that. You apparently get that. CEO does not get that.
