New Motorbike

[moss]

This weekend cant come quick enough.
Ive loved the look of Buell's for years but never been brave enough to step away from Jap sportsbikes, the news that HD had stopped production of Buells spured me on to looking at the remaining Buells.
Anyway I bit the bullet and have bought a new XB12SCG in Hero Blue, went for the SCG which is slightly shorter than the XB12SX as im not the tallest guy around.
No actual pics yet as its not due to be delivered to the dealers until Friday (which is 300miles away!).

I'd not usually buy a brand new bike, but this was pretty much the last chance.

I do like Buells. Nom nom nom.

Nice one, I bet you got it for a great price with Buell going bye bye?

 

[Dup]

Very American and in your face, but that's what's cool about them. Love it.

Around £6k, most dealers I phoned were around £5800-£6100, although the cheaper ones then had registration/road tax costs on top.
The 1125R sports bikes are going for £5200 but I dont really like the look of them.

Very nice , love the blue they look great and they make a nice trike
not seen one in the flesh do they sound like a harley ?

Love Buells and I'm so sad that they've gone now.
They have a rawness that no european or jap machine could ever match.

Very nice, a lot of bike for the money

He's back as Erik Buell Racing already.


P.S. moss, lovin' the bike mate.

Been looking at changing to a Buell Ulysses recently.
Allways loved the look of them but not dared cross over, still not ready to dare it seeins as Buell has now gone under as well.

Don't see many Buells around - that looks fantastic!

 

[Snaggle]

Look lovely and handle well but horrid build quality . Rust in front of yer eyes and unless you get the new type engine there not very quick . Plus unless them going bust helps the prices they devalue quicker than a chinese 125 .

Have fun though hehe

Persil

Same, as a new rider I hadn't really heard about them until they closed down, great looking bikes.

Saw my first one in the flesh the other day, pulled up next to it (same model as OP but in black - blue suits it much better). Sadly he beat me off the lights even when he was probably only using 1/8th throttle compared to me trying to gun it on my little 125

 

[Begbie]

Looks very good.

Hi. Sell ​​me your bike Buell ?

 

[acemastr]

Get some nice cans and it'll sound like thunder.

Amazingly beautiful and clever bikes (fuel is stored in the frame)

Strong 1st post

 

[metbandit1]

I don't know if "sell me your bike" is a statement, and then "buell" is a question?

But very odd first post.

Awesome

I need to get rid of my 99 ZX7R now!
