... just retired the 73 R75/5 Toaster for a nice new (and in the shop after 10 days and 800 miles) S3T. Kinda nice how the factory's going to put in a new...
Sad to hear about the breakdown, but good to see that Buell is taking good care of you. My BMW R100GS has had 3 transmission failures in 50,000 miles. Only the...
Although I don't own a Buell yet (waiting to one with a V-Rod motor), I do own two Harleys and BMW. 'Tis a good mix of both worlds. ... From: chiefdaddyjohn...
Many thanks to "East Coast Harley/Buell" in Dumfries, Va., for their service/hospitality/etc ... good Lord, is this a loaner or what? I feel like a guy...
For those interested, I have posted an auction for my Power Commander II with the High-Perf O2 sensor on eBay. The item number is 602016160, or you can follow...
I have found two bikes I'm interested in, both brand new. The first is a 2000 Cyclone, blue. Never titled, just a few miles from test drives. The second is a...
... Hash: SHA1 I'd go for the 2002, I think. I *LOVE* my 2000, but the 2002 has lots of improvements in the engine that prevent a lot of the oil "Blow-by" ...
Alex, many improvements came about in 2001. shift linkage, tach, oil pump, rear engine isolators, front muffler mount, rear shock, silver wheels, improved...

Both bikes come with the same 1 year warranty. There have been some improvements between 2000 and 2002, but not $1700 worth. Both of these are excellent...
just heard a rumor today about the new buell models (within the year): a homologated race version of the firebolt, and a tourer with the firebolt engine in a...
I have attempted to ride my '98 Cyclone with the stock bars for a while now, and still long for the taller/sweptback bar used on the tourer. Does anyone have a...
They're on Ebay all the time, but note that Buells use 7/8 bars that fir virtually everthing German and English as well as Japanese (?) so there are lots of...
Yes, heard about the tourer with the new Firebolt motor. And no XL (t-storm motors) or tube frames for Buell after this year. Has anyone heard a statement from...
I have a 99X1 and have rode the m2 many of times, there is NO comparison between the two bikes, the X1 is a better bike all around. Just my 2 cents!! have a...

... Hash: SHA1 I'll grant you that it's faster on the top end and has more aftermarket goodies available... but that's the only thing I'll grant you. I find ...
i agree i have rode several of all the models and the only one that i considered over the m2 was the s3t but just not what i would want if i went to another...
This ought to be a neat discussion :) The X1 clearly has the advantage on the top end, but IMO the power is a complete trade-off because you lose quite a bit...
regarding the "flat spot" on the FI buells, some of that is the cams, and some of that is the FI map. the flat spot is quite different with the race ECM...
hi, sorry i had to reply like this but i havent used this very much. here goes. i have a 2000 m2 and am considering buying a new xb9 or makeing some mods to ...
i have to wonder about the race kit and wether something was not done ie rejet or something else my m2 is for the most part stock less a custom built air ram...
American sportbike sells carbon fiber wheels. I think they are made by Dymag, or Dynamag. something like that. If you want to go faster you should really ...
I'm with Shawn on this one. The only way to significantly increase top speed is to reduce aerodynamic drag. As for the carbon fiber, Dynamag is quite...
I agree that there are some trade offs with the two, like the seat for example, I would love to have the m2 seat on my X1, especially with a passenger. As far...
