Glad to hear that your bike is not giving you problems. I had a 1998 S1W that I managed to 31k miles on in spite of the problems. The problems I had are too many to list here. The experience was compounded by a real crummy dealer and lack of support from Buell customer service. Because of these experiences it is not possible for me to own another Buell. It is just that simple. | ||

First Buell: '98 S3-T 60,000 miles. Numerous problems, but Buell customer service ALWAYS stood up to the plate. When my front isolator broke just before Homecoming '99, and it looked like I wouldn't be able to get it fixed in time, I was told, "You'll be at Homecoming if I have to drive out to Massachusetts and bring you back, myself". 6 hours later, my bike was repaired and rolling down the highway. In June of 2000, I traded the S3 in on an M2. I've only managed to put 26,000 on it. (Got remarried, and can't ride as much as I used to) It's as reliable as any other bike I've owned. Would I buy another? Well, I know where there's an Amazon Green '98 S3-T with only 4,500 miles showing. Cosmetically, it's rough, but it can be had for a very nice figure... I still think the S3-T is the most beautiful motorcycle ever made, and with the upgrades available,(new isolators, metal rocker box gaskets,front exhaust hanger) it should be pretty much a real joy to travel on. Yup, I think I will. |
