Re: Another Buell

I know.......even if you did........i think you know by now i wouldnt really be all that affected by it. I have petty much gotten numb to the Buell bashing........its just a bike that MOST people just arent going to understand and I am completely ok with that.

Re: Another Buell

The way I look at it is who gives a shit what other people say unless they are paying for it.. I like your bike but I love giving you shit about it....

I get that same way everytime I watch Pollyanna, Flesh Gordon, or Teen Wolf. I test rode the Buell TT and came away impressed with it's power and flickability... er... well.. not so impressed that I'd trade any of my Ducatis for it, but impressed that it didn't suck a$$ like the last steaming pile of donkey crap Buell I rode in 1996.

Re: Another Buell

Oh dear, the 1125r..... sigh.


Clearly, the design center at Buell doesn't have a policy against employee drug use. That thing is almost as offensive as a Pontiac Aztec.

Re: Another Buell

yes its offensive.....its fugly as all hell but the one thing i will say......you cant completly bash it until you've railed one around the track for a day and gave it a fair shot at an opinion not just based on looks. NO it doesnt mean the power and extremely easy handling of the bike will make me buy one....but it did have a way of making me bash it a little less...........just because of its looks.

Re: Another Buell

No question that it's likely to be a good bike. But no matter how fast a car, bike, or truck is, if it looks like a$$, it still looks like a$$. I would rather have gutless italian motoporn like a 80hp, 1985 Ducati F1

then a brand new, 200hp, two wheeled Pontiac Aztek

True dat!

The BevelHeaven guy is selling a (very) low-mileage F1. In the pictures it looks brand new.
