What does everyone think of Buells?

**Rashika** · 7th February 2006, 16:18

mine has clipons, so they are a bit higher than normal. The only problem with that is that is makes the turning circle EVEN less...can be a little nerveracking when doing slow tight turning and running outa turn

But they are very adjustable.

I've been out test riding again.

I really love the Buell. the two issues (money and pillion seat) I think preclude it for me, particularly given the home improvement that now is bumped up the list.

TRiumph Bonneville brand new $13k with a two year warranty. Its black with a black motor. dang,.

i must of read wrong. ohwell your problem. there is a "perfect angle" for a v but im not sure if its 52.5* or 90* as i have been told two different stories

The French Voxans have a 75º (alt-zero for the degrees sign) vee from memory. They are pretty nice too.

I took AMPS XB12X out to run it in for them prior to open day - and went back and ordered it.

It's the perfect motorcycle for me - as long as I have a show bike too.

they are very skinny arent they? and isnt the swingarm where the oil is? and the frame part of the petrol tank? all they want is a watercooled 52 degree twin haha. im wanting to take one for a ride, im sure they have heaps of grunt no matter what the stats show

Dangerous - maybe it's control 0 on your PC - the alt 0 works on my macs - try a combo of keys with the zero.

There is a keyboard/font map in windows somewhere too - will show you.

But of course Ducati don't build a 90 degree vee twin do they? They build "L" twins.

Ahhhhhhh..... yes, correct Gav, but is it the perfect 'L' ???
which is more perfect tho, L, V, F or P

ps: cant be any good as its not a 52.5* 'L'

then it wouldnt be an "L" would it?

i talked to someone last night and he says 90* is the ideal [or perfect] angle for a v-twin. but then alot of people like me would just take his word for it cos he rides an aprillia [and yes i know they use a 60* angle]
