Other Bikes » Buell is back - again

Here is the story, such as it is. It looks like they are using the last Buell Rotax 1190cc V-twin engine to power their first models: https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/bu...ring-motorcycle

Do we sing "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" or watch "Groundhog Day".............

Having owned an 1125CR (Avatar pic) I'm a fan of a lot of Buell's work. If they've sorted out some issues I'd have one in a heartbeat if circumstances allowed.

Small, light, awesome motor and more than a little different.

My 1125 was oversprung, the fuelling was so poor that the throttle was almost switch like, it was also very heavy to open until certain mods were done. All sorts of modifications went some way to reconcile these issues but the stator life of less than 10,000 miles with no clear repair or replacement meant that I couldn't live with it. But a sorted 1190XR might be a thing of joy on a track

Of course, this Buell reenactment has no Erik attached.

1996 on our way to North Carolina we stopped at the National Corvette Museum, Harley was having a big weekend event and Buell was there.
Debbie and I both took a test ride and liked the bikes.
Harley brakes were not that great back then and the guy in charge of the test rides warned us several time to be very careful with the brakes because they were very strong.
To use the brakes felt good but nothing we weren't used to.
