How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Probably build it for 8.5K RPM's, maybe a 6 speed tranny, make it easier to get a toe on the kickstand with thick boots. Use a different blinker switch mechanism, I find that turning on the left blinker is a little tough while holding in the clutch and trying to slow down, a kick start. |
