When does Buell usually announce the line up for the new model year? Thanks. | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
At the dealer meeting, usually in July or August | ||
| Hughlysses |
Hey, it is getting close to that time, isn't it. Let the rumors begin!  | ||
| Xb9er |
I heard from a good source, that buell is coming out with a 1125T. It looks like a uly but has the rotax engine. | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
All Rotax, the XB line will be done with. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
What about the Blast?? | ||
| Swordsman |
WTF is a Blast?  ~SM | ||
| Jaimec |
I thought the Helicon-based adventure tourer would be sold by Cagiva? | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
"What about the Blast??" Gone with the wind. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
The Blast will get an update and will receive the Rotax single. There will be a new 1199RR. Buell will introduce a 850cc. | ||

1125 rotax in the blast vtwin | ||

Well, I'll shed a (small) tear if the air-cooled twins are indeed cut. Simpler is better and coolant is just another thing I have to remember to check. | ||

An 1125BSG (battle star galactica edition) enticing Court to throw down some cash for a new Buell, and prove once and for all that he can indeed fly. | ||
| Indybuell |
An XBBlast would rock. | ||

DAMHIK 250cc. IMHO I think its has to do w/ MSF/Riders edge/blast replacement. (Message edited by barker on May 27, 2009) | ||
| Hughlysses |
I think Barker gets the award for most interesting/most plausible rumor. A water-cooled 250 cc Rotax-based Buell would be cool for all sorts of reasons. | ||
| Swordsman |
1125BSG! Hell yeah! You don't frak with the Old Man! ~SM | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
A Superbike version of the 1125...call it what you will XB line will be discontinued - poppycock !!!! | ||
| Froggy |
XB's are going the way of the Tuber.  Lobster bikes for everyone! | ||
| Spiderman |
return of the tuber!! | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
Now that I would like to see and the discontinuation of the XB line only makes sense to me if you replace it with something else. | ||
| Jstfrfun |
Converting to water cooled is a good idea, I just had to put my tuber away for the summer. If the blast and the nine and the twelve were all season bikes, it would be a plus. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
I don't see the xb line going away so soon. I mean heck isn't the uly one of the buells best selling bikes? I think that the xb line will stick around for a bit longer, besides every year thus far they have either made improvements or new models of them. | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
Blast gets new motor and an XB frame. 1125R replaced with 1200R middle weight Helicon to replace XB12R | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
"I don't see the xb line going away so soon." I'm sure people said that about tubers before the XB was intro'd. The XB line up is 8-9 seasons old, its not going to be around forever. I think we'll still see aircooled bikes, but not with an XB frame. | ||
| Hughlysses |
I don't see the fuel-in-frame, air-cooled engine bike (whatever they call it) going away, but the XB is overdue for a major re-styling. | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
i am hoping for this.  | ||
| Froggy |
Blast gets replaced with the dirt bike but with lights to make it street legal. All the XB models get replaced by watercooled similar variants. 848SCG? 1198XT? Pods that double as front mount saddle bags? It could happen | ||

Froggy and Ft_B quit teasing me.... damnit Buell , bring me a lighter, leaner, meaner dirt squirter.... I want to BELIEVE. until then I am slugging mud on a Yami 225 (Message edited by cityxslicker on May 27, 2009) |
