I was at Dave Zein's Million Mile Harley Landing party today and it got me thinking, what's Buell got on that? Any ideas on who has the most miles on a single Buell? | ||

250k+ on Tramps S2, the speedo fell of a few years ago.  Highest one I know of. | ||
| Squidbuzz |
What year is that bike? | ||
| F_skinner |
1996 S2-T | ||

no offence, but that seat & subframe looks like it was hand made by a blind man.. and it reminds me of that redneck bike make of wood, thats 1996 technology?!?  | ||
| Froggy |
Thats 1996 technology after 250k miles, and 1/2 of your bike was pieced together from other bikes over the years  The front end was off Spiderman's M2 if I remember right. | ||
| F_skinner |
What's a subframe? The FRAME is one of the most beautiful and functional frames made by Buell. Tramp rides his bike all year no matter what the weather. | ||

What happened to Tramp. I haven't seen him post in quite a while. | ||
| Hammer71 |
Tramp is alive and well ( and busy), I speak with him every couple of weeks. | ||

A new question...How many miles did it go before it's first total engine and tranny rebuild? | ||
| Mikexlr650 |
still original motor. he said it is starting to get noisy though and will require a rebuild soon. when asked even he admits that he's suprise'd it has lasted this long. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Another interesting point- IIRC Tramp runs HD 20W-50 oil and changes it often (2500 miles?). | ||

That bike look like is been rode hard and put away wet many MANY times! And with any luck in another 10-20 years when some newby ask "How Many Miles on a Buell" You can post the photo and drop a line about "Next ride will see it over 1,000,000!  Keep her rolling Tramp! | ||

I would like to hear some other high miles as well. Every time this topic comes up, tramps bike is mentioned, and the topic dies. Anybody with a working odometer? | ||
| Nevrenuf |
although you didn't get to meet him when you were down here mike, lafayette is pretty proud of his 100k miles on his bike. odometer and all. | ||

i know a dude had 68,000 miles on a 98 S3 before the piston exploded but it was rode hard. real hard (Message edited by nuke-blue on April 05, 2009) | ||

Id be proud too. I plan adding to that list with my bike someday. Does the buell odo go back to 0 or does it say 100,000? What does Lafayette ride? | ||
| Brumbear |
alot of 30K plus guys on here I don't even know how many miles I have I will look next time I am on it good question although it's a hard knock life for mine if ya know what I mean | ||

Mikethebike had like 70k plus on his 12R @ badness. Watrousmark put like 40k on his 12R in the first year. I cant remember what he is up too now. There was a guy in nashville who had a 80k 9R. | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
40K in one year! Thats impressive.  | ||

155,000 miles, and feeling tired:  replaced the rear belt around 105,000 only because i picked up a rock. This has been one of the most reliable bikes I've EVER owned Nothing like my Uly... | ||

Lafayette rides a '93 S3T ... And it still runs good...I know because I rode with him yesterday on a club ride.... |
