Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
The look. I've liked the "streetfighter" look since I saw the Honda Hawk GT 647 back in '87 I think it was.
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Get a different engine. Same basic design, but get to future faster than the competitors and you will win the sales race. Be more competetive with the prices. If I wouldn't have found my bike used, I would have bought a Japanese bike instead of dishing out the dough. Buell will never have a hold of the street bike market with their prices and reputation of unreliability. They are almost the Pinto of motorcycles-- but I still love the way they look.
|

One must always seek to improve themself. Yes, I have a Type-A personality. I'm probably a little OCD too.
