Performance Mods!: | factory race kit, perforated airbox & heavily perforated front of airbox cover for additional airflo'. woody woodpecker (clay smith cams) stickers, in honor of nicky hayden. other stickers & various scuffs all over from 2 serious crashes. |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | 12000+ miles of mostly hard riding. had front isolator replaced under warranty. fan wire shorted against frame, fixed. otherwise right on hot rod. |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | subframe modified (lightened by removing a couple of support where pillion would have sat, but i don't carry pillions & removed pegs ages ago) & under tail storage removed (have parts). scratched from hard usage (i rode some LONG rides this summer & lots of track). otherwise stock. |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | windy, mixed elevation ones w/ little crosswind & nice, smooth surfaces in rural or woody parts. love to smell fresh air w/ my sweeping vistas. otherwise, the TRACK!!!!!! |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | coz they are buells & i respect & support innovation & design. torque makes me happy & my other bike is a harley. i learnt to ride on a blast too .. i have since let the harley go & now realise i need a fast I4 - whether 600 or 1000, i haven't decided. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | too many .. make the REV! a little longer wheelbase & more fuel capacity, 6spd, proper clutch & faster gearbox. oil temp & other pertinent info. better tires. normal yoke(trees) & adjustable clip-ons. better mirror w/ lighter stems, integrated lights, double bubble as standard. |
