Author Message   Sspilotmi Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 06:41 pm:        I have been happy with my 04 Honda VFR, no reason to look at other bikes. Its smooth, never breaks, quick, handles great etc. I was looking for a used bike for my son-in-law. I found a 98 S3T for sale. I took a test ride and fell in love! I bought it on the spot. It shakes and vibrates, the Buell stickers on the tank are bubbled, but it is hands down the most fun I have had on a motorcycle. I am 54 and have ridden since I was 13, this is best bike I have owned. 56,000 miles on her, it runs great. I hope it lasts. I have never had a Harley.   X1_ Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 06:45 pm:        Welcome to the fold, and watch the front mount on the wileyco mine broke after like 2,000 miles.   Capital_g Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 07:35 pm:        Congrats on the bike Steve. A friend of mine used to own A '99 S3T that I spent some time on and it was a great bike. (Gave it away when he "sold" it...) BTW we prefer to to think of our bikes as bikes that just happen to be sold in a Harley dealership. Even if it does have a Harley motor we tend to think of ourselves as Buell and not Harley owners. Again, welcome! PS- Owned a true Harley when I was younger, after a Buell would never go back!   F_skinner Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 08:41 pm:        I have never had a Harley. And you still don't Steve. You have something much better. What Capital_g said. The S3T is a great bike,   5liter Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 10:07 pm:        I sold a Goldwing to get mine and never looked back.   Gowindward Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 11:16 pm:        Steve, welcome to the board and ditto on the S3T being a great bike.   Kalali Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 06:04 am:        I knew nothing about Buells until I test rode my X1. And bought it right on the spot. These bikes tend to grow on you specially if you come from a so called Metric bike. Good luck.   Vecchio_lupo Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 02:30 pm:        I was a full on Guzzi guy, then I fell for an 09 XR1200, at 3k miles I crashed it and the insurance totaled it out. I took my excess equity and found an S3T on ebay. Gentlemen, I could not be happier, I can't believe I stayed away from Buell for so long. This 10 year old S3 is a better bike than the 09 H-D I crashed. I am a convert. Rock On Mr. Buell.
