My vote for best older model goes to the X1

I actually prefer the cyclone or s1 to the x1. It's the tail section on the x1 that I don't care for.

S1W for the kind of stuff seen above; S2 for pure sexy curves and comfortable 2-up ability (ask my wife how she felt when we crossed start/finish at Road America at around 105 indicated mph).

S1/S1W - IMHO it's the Hemi 'Cuda of sportbikes

Its a close call between the S1 and the M2. I think I have to give it to the M2, just because the glory of a motorcycle is to be ridden, and between the affordable price and comfortable setup, the M2 screams to be ridden.

The S1 screams to be ridden, for about half an hour, then it screams to be parked ; )

S1/S1W, I wish I had more money in my pocket and space in the garage... The s1 would be a good stable mate for my XB.

If I could have only one it would be the S2T.... Seems like a lot of people like the S1W... I do to...

The S1 is by far my favorite tuber, and probably my favorite Buell. To me the S1 is the essence of motorcycling...an engine with a seat (barely)

The S1 is what brought me to Buell, pure muscle car formula, big motor, light frame, and tooooorque.
And probably the sexiest version I have seen is this one. I check out the tubers side often ; )

My last buell was an 00 x1. Great bike. Could one of you do a quick overview of the tubers as Im lazy and do not know the finer points of these models.

The m2 is a blank canvas, i would never do what im doing to my m2 on a s1.

Court and Dave's new book, " 25 years of Buell" gives a thorough explanation of the development of the tube frame Buells, which can be a bit confusing for those of us who are more familiar with the XB models.

Having read the book, and having had the pleasure of seeing many fine tubers at Homecoming, I changed my favorite from X1 to S1.

A bit more of a "bad boy" in these old eyes.

Check out this month's Fuell - it has a pictorial history of the bikes. Nice pics above, by the way (although I have yet to understand the mutant craze...maybe it's just me though).
