Things aquired.
08. 20k km. Nasty accident on the tank and exhaust.
Only 2k though.

Would you buy a Buell?
I know it has nothing to do, I just remembered that Buells keep their fuel in the frame, not in the tank...

I had the baby blast.
It was actually a lot of fun to ride. Not what i would call reliable though.
I would totally buy an Xb9 or a xb12 or a 1125cr for a second street bike. Just not a bike i would need to rely on.

The brakes where awesome. You can still get everything you need for them dont worry about that

Tank is fuckered too. But it was so cheap I can look them over.

I mean, as a physics exercise those brakes must do wonders for the brake’s torque!
However, having disks so close to the asphalt must be an issue....
I love the concept of harley engines being used for good frames (I think harley frames are shitty, sue me) and I would consider a buell one day...

its not an issue. at all.

I worry about the disks being more easily bent if the bike is dropped, or maybe easier to have water from puddles shot up water that would make them dirtier.
Idunno... i’m playing devils advocate to be honest, I wonder why other brands don’t do it this way and I’m trying to think why

becuse Buell and H-D have the patent. no one else CAN use it without copy right infringment.

fack, it aint... but i’m looking at buell’s patents and the guy is amazing.
Also, he makes motorcycles again, I think... under Erick Buell Racing

Most certainly... I am looking at the patents though (i’ve been pushed down a rabbit hole)
The website is still online and he actually has an active patent for a hybrid motorcycle which... sounds weird...
