I am looking to buy my first Buell, and wanted to ask about opinions. Not my first bike, I have owned a XL1200, but it has been a couple of years. This bike is in A+ shape, 7500 miles. But I wanted to know, if it makes a good all day ride machine, and is there any reliability issues.

Thanks, Dave

What year? You probably mean 95. Be prepared to keep an eye on the exhaust system. It is prone to failure after some miles. The vibs get to it. be sure to check with Buell to see if all the recalls have been done on the bike. The body is fiberglas which is prone to its own quirks. The engine should be good for many thousands of miles as long as you dont rev the shit out of it. It will handle like nothing you have been on before.
Have fun.

Verify the year and the model number, then tell us the price the owner is asking. ;)
