New bike by Eric Buell.

I'm glad he survived the whole ordeal with Harley cutting connection with him. The new bike looks awesome. I hope he plans a naked version just as the old Buell. Maybe one day i might be able to afford the 19k price tag. *cross fingers*

I am Jazzed Buell survives

but what a price
HD has done a lot of foot shooting in their history, and breaking off of the relationship with Eric is one of them.

I mean how many sport bike riders had a Buell with a HD engine in them?

wow how could they been so dumb, the bikes were selling well for such a nich market and they only had the engine sales liability. All else was Buelss till they decided to buy Buell, and then they break that off. Talk about control issues.

Anyway, Long live Buell, one of the few companies that continuously works outside the box.

Agreed, I only found the FZ8 because i was searching for a Buell XB9S on craigslist. Some guy decided to list the FZ8 and referenced to the buell as a similar bike and i fell in love with the look of the FZ8. I still lust over the rim mounted brake rotor, frame cell fuel tank (lol imagine buying a used buell with caked up fuel in the fuel tank), swing arm oil reservoir (same with fuel tank) and underbelly exhaust. Buell were such unique bike until Harley took over.

I'm not big on Harley engine. I think Buell feels the same way. The last few years of their production they no longer use Harley Vtwin. I think they use Rotax engine.

I hope from the link above they have finally moved to watercooling. The air cooling of the old Buell was terrible and resulted in bad reliability.

Update: a check of the last production year of Buell shows their bike does use watercooling. Thank goodness.

That torque graph is ridiculous. If I was looking to drop some dough on a super bike I'd be taking a very long look at that buell. Lots of cool features, lots of good looks, and some serious power

ll. Maybe one day i might be able to afford the 19k price tag. *cross fingers*[/url]

no maybe for me. i will never be able to afford that price tag.

It has more torque then my little Mazda 2 with its 1.5 liter lol

I wonder how much braking torque is created from that single rotor. Is it enough to stop it like a supersport bike.

I still like the superduke 1290. Naked is sexier. Fairings are so 2005...

Talking about this bike. That would be the only SS I would buy today. Sick machine!!!

So Marthy, you've hacked up the exhaust on the FZ9 yet? Can we have a peek at it?

 

[Marthy]

Where have you been? LOL Been few days... Exhaust done and collected some data for the fuel controller. Should have something together within a week or so to tune the 09.

I have few clip on Youtube also.

I have a friend that has been on and off racing and track daying 1125r's for years, and he says that with those brakes you have to really..... Really learn "how" to brake, because you will endo lol

Some could say they are a little too effective.
