Buell owning
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 15, 2008The is a wonderfull bike to ride.The handling is the best of the many bikes I have owned over the years. It is so, so stable. The last bike I owned was an SV650 Suzuki. This is much better handling and the deep rumbling sound of the Harley v2 is sooo sweet! If you aren't careful with the excess torque ... down low, the bike will slide a bit on corners. The biggest fault I find with the Buell, is that because the engine is air cooled, it tends to run really hot in the summer heat. I just had new tires put on and itis unbelieveable how it sticks to those corners. The thing I really love is the belt drive. It is much smoother, quieter,and just feels better than a chain drive.Thank you Joe Walker
