Default Buell video

Is it just me or does watching this make you want to buy a Buell (it's just me, isn't it ?!?!?).

Yeah, I thought it was just me !!!

I took one out from the Harley shop at Charing Cross not that long ago. It was hilarious fun, much better than I'd expected. Apart from the vibration at standstill - I thought the indicators were going to shake themselves off !!!

In the end I went for the SV1000 (much better engine), but the Buell handling was almost enough to tempt me .......

Was dead impressed with the customer service at the Harley place, will remember that when I want a cruiser in 30 years.

Sorry Buckstone - I think its just you. Lacks any emotion for me.

If you want an impressionable vid try this - imagine yourself on an italian pass about to tackle it at full tilt and listen to the engine rev.... : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IttIWmZfrNo

Bikes that will not only make you attractive to women but also middle aged men and young boys? Think I'll pass.

Also all the twin headlight models featured only had bulb working so they've obviously still got some serious quality control issues.

i wouldnt be trying to get my knee down, wearing jeans. how off putting would it be if you pulled up at a lights and someone crossing the road walked up to you to stroke your helmet (calm yourself boys). if someone approached me at the lights I would assume they were about to punch me - maybe thats just me though lol

I like the sound of getting my helmet stroked...

I just never really fancied a Buell though. Specially not that new Super ugly one!!!

If I had the space and the money for about 6 bikes, one of them might be a Buell... Great fun. You do get mad reactions from passersby, I've only done a few hours on Buells and I've never been so aware of people watching, kids waving, people shouting "nice bike!", it was ace. A gang of kids on BMXs followed me around doing wheelies when I was in traffic near the Harley place. And I can't do wheelies usually, but it's dead easy on the City X
