I don't own a Buell yet, but I am on the brink. Right now, my primary ride is a Yamaha Roadliner - a good bike. I am really intrigued with the Buell(s) and the riders of them - I love how raw and real they are. How many of you guys came from a metric or European bike? | ||

Yahama YZF600 and then a Triumph TT600. The Yamaha was a good starter bike back in the day, the Triumph was some sweet wheels for a full fairing inline 4 sport bike. Wouldn't trade the XB9S for nuttin tho.  | ||

I traded my 03 Road King for an 09 Uly XT just before Thanksgiving. Demo ride blew me away. Made the deal on the spot. Had a Dyna Low Rider that I traded for the King and an 883 Sportster that I sold after 3 months to buy the Dyna. 40 years before all this, I had a 1957 Triumph. The Uly looks like a keeper. | ||

Dirt bikes! I grew up riding any and all of them but we had mostly Hondas and Yamahas in the 80's! Then I took a long hiatus from motorcycles. When I came back to what felt right for the transition to street bike mid-life, I bought a Buell. I've had no regrets. B. | ||

Honda VTR250 Interceptor. Was drawn to the Firebolt, among other reasons, for the similar ergos. | ||

Pretty cool. I enjoy the Roadliner but am looking for something with more "edge". Also have a Yamaha WR450 dirt bike. I am 48 and have had a bunch of bikes. I have been searching and searching and just can't stop looking at the Buells. Focused on the Ss now, | ||

Dirt bikes growing up. Honda mini trail 79 YZ 175 (175cc DT engine in YZ 125 frame) 89 YZ 250 First street bike was a 1985 600R Ninja. What a basket case that was when I bought it. It was a great first street bike and I learned a lot from wrenching on it. Now I have the XB12Scg. Awesome bike! I just can't say enough about it. I'm with Klinc and would never want to part with it. I love the simplicity of the air-cooled V-twin. The bike is just an artistic engineering master piece. To me, it's priceless. | ||

Roadliner is a 1900cc V-Twin, air-cooled cruiser. Aluminum frame, belt drive. I get people at stoplights asking me what it is (and they usually drive away disappointed that it is a Yamaha ). It's a big comfortable cruiser. Going to attempt to list all of mine (not sure of all of the years): '72 Honda xL70 '72 Yahmaha rd250 '74 Yahaha rd350 '74 Honda CB360 '76 Yamaha YZ125 '77 Suzuki RM125 '77 Suzuki RM370 '82 Honda Nighthawk 550 '82 Yamaha Virago 920 '95 BMW K75 '96 Yamaha Royal Star '07 Yamaha Roadliner (current) '07 Yamaha WR450 (current) | ||
