The Buells had Sportster engines before going with the Rotax. As soon as HD dumped (liquidated) the brand I had to wonder what kind of support you could get. Just like the original Indian, the brand does not exist anymore. It may be more a a collector than a rider.

I rode a Buell home from Phillip Island once and my mate rode my Blackbird. Suffice to say he wouldnt give me my BB back and I wanted to burn his Buell. Having ridden one I wouldnt own one if it was given to me. Each to their own and all that, but the Buell doesnt even rate in the same universe as the Honda imo.
