Why don't buell make a 600
 

Buell are always going on about weight saving and better handling. Why don't they make a 600 instead of the 1200's and thou's ?

Don't Buells use Harley engines? So it would be down to availability of the original engines from Harley? I guess it would be a waste to reduce the bore of such heavy lumps from 1200 to 600...

Yep, if Harley don't make it then Buel can't use it... simple as.

Tis true, but just imagine if Buell could do a deal with Suzuki and use the Sv engine. That could potentially be very sweet. Buezuki anyone? :D:D

NOW you're cooking!

What about the 1125R?

Engine made by Rotax, if I'm right.

just take a plug out and you have a 600 single :)

Because after all their spiel Buells are no longer revolutionary, if they tried to play the 600 game I reckon they'd get beaten by all the SS600 competition. As it is the single big disc set up on the new trad Buells always gets a slating. It's nice there is something different out there, but with mass centralisation as common as IL4 I think they'll stay out of the SS600 arena.

As it is their bikes aren't that powerful, so are an alternative to the SS600s, they're no way a match for the current crop of thous.

Very few American males would even consider a sub litre bike.
