She did a nice article. This was funny though. Quote from article "Harley entrée into the sport-bike market and access to its insanely loyal fans, who might cross over to a Harley cruiser once they tire of Buell's adrenaline rush." She or they(H-D)just do not get it if that's what they think about us as riders. (Message edited by gowindward on October 10, 2008) | ||

She can write that all she wants, cause I have seen quite the other way around all the time. Just ask Wolfridgerider! | ||

I have seen quite the other way around all the time Damn Skippy! Sold all my Harleys (been riding Harleys since 1979) with the money I made off of my FLH I bought a S2T and S1W.... Best choice I ever made. Caveat: While I have always owned Harleys I have always owned at least one Buell since 1997. It was just a matter of time before all the Harleys were gone. The people associated with Buell and Buell owners are the best part about Buell ownership. Frank | ||

I thought it was a good article. It has been my opinion that some Harley dealers treat Buell as a stepping stone to a Harley. Nothing wrong with that I guess. After all they are Harley dealerships and that is their business. It turned out very different. This could be a pivotal time for Buell... The more press they get like this the better. Mr. Buell’s infectious enthusiasm is contagious. Frank | ||

Is that / will that be in a print edition? | ||

It's funny that Buell is seen by some as a stepping stone to a HD. My last few bikes went in this order: '85 1000 Sportster (Great bike if you dont mind wrenching on a monthly basis) '05 883/1200 Sportster (Great reliable and fun bike.) '06 Roadking (Hated everything about it.) '02 M2 Cyclone (Best bike I have ever owned) '04 GSXR 1000 (Just in initial negotiations on price) It looks like the need for an "adrenaline rush" is as strong as ever. I can't wait for the 1125R to depreciate in the used market so I can get one. I really do wish Buell would make another tuber, but even without one, they have my total attention. Good luck Eric Buell. I hope this economy doesn't put a kink in your plans. | ||

I want a full size version of that photo. That would make an awesome poster. | ||

"who might cross over to a Harley cruiser once they tire of Buell's adrenaline rush" Adrenaline, caffiene, gasoline, & MUD, who would ever tire of that?!? | ||
| Edgydrifter |
Tire of adrenaline? Yeah, I'm sure someday I'll grow weary of sex, steaks and booze, too. | ||

I somehow don't see myself as wanting a vibrating chrome couch. Uly? Maybe, CityX for Sunny? Maybe. | ||

"Heading to the airport on the back of a Buell, I'm beginning to understand. The smooth, hour-long journey along the highway--tunes blaring, my leathers flapping in the wind--was exhilarating but strangely relaxing." 1. Flapping? Did she borrow Tubby Tommy's? 2. Relaxing? The rider wasn't going fast enough, then. | ||

He SO wanted to throw the shocker in that picture. Look at the way he has to strain to keep that middle finger down. DO IT, ERIK! DO IT! | ||

She can write that all she wants, cause I have seen quite the other way around all the time. It's funny I was just thinking this same thing the other day. I've seen plenty of people who have gone from a Buell to a cruiser, but way more going from their cruiser to a Buell, and really never looking back  ! Pretty cool article all in all though. | ||

Good article. Trade it on a Harley? When they come out with a Harley that's faster, cooler, and handles better than a Buell. Probably not even then. I will keep my Buell, untill they scape my cold dead hands of it. | ||

I thought the article was nicely done. It, at least, gave those who don't really know much about Buell and it's internal workings, a little insight into just how personal and tight the culture behind it is. Culture and enthusiasm as motivators, can be under-rated in today's world. As are recognition and initiative. I would have to disagree however, that being on a Buell is 'relaxing'. It makes my blood race every time  V | ||

The people associated with Buell and Buell owners are the best part about Buell ownership. What he said. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Great article. Anyone know how to find out if/which print version it's in? Need to send a copy to my folks... As for stepping stones to HD's...the last few Buells I sold before I had my wreck, I traded HD's on. I'll buy Harleys every day to sell Buells. We even traded a CVO on an XT! LOVE IT!!!  | ||
| Crusty |
Is the article in this week's TIME? I want to get a copy. | ||

And Buell gives Harley entrée into the sport-bike market and access to its insanely loyal fans, who might cross over to a Harley cruiser once they tire of Buell's adrenaline rush. Hmmmm....Erik Buell said himself that a sportbike guy will never go for a cruiser. I think EB hit it on the head and I can't agree more. IMO, sportbikers and cruisers ride for very different reasons. | ||
| Rainman |
I'm definitely not a cruiser and I'm not sure I'm a sportbiker, either. I loved my Sporty, I loved my Old Wing and I love my Blast. In fact, I've loved every Buell I've tested. My next bike will need to cover serious freeway miles.....Uly XT? | ||
| Bbbob |
"Buell serves as a testing ground for new ideas." Has any of the Buell technology ever made it over to Harleys? | ||

55% of the Buells are sold overseas???? WOW!!! no wonder I get so many tail light orders overseas! GO BUELL!!!!! -Robert www.xblights.com |
