Buell Super Cruiser Tested! Plus A Chat With Buell CEO Bill Melvin

[@JAyy781]

They mentioned the brake supplier on Buells last update. Brembo was the choice. Do your research! Which is interesting through considering Brembo purchased Ohlins recently . Let’s see if they offer an option for Ohlins. Perimeter braking was supposed to be an option as well. Nothing new has been said since. Just looking forward to the V3 rendition as well as future accessory options. Keep the radiator raw!

I’m an early order deposit. My understanding was that it’s coming with the perimeter brake. I don’t care brake brand name. Just want what I “bought.” I have a HD Sport Glide (softail) with aftermarket 15” single and factory ABS. Don’t say it can’t be done. PS put me in with the black radiator crew.

Dont give a FCK what tax farm the stuff is produced in...

Well, people who pride themselves in buying American would at least like the option to do so. Harley is offering that choice less and less, so it can sell cheaper and bikes and keep more profits for themselves. You don't have to care, but it's certainly nice to have the choice as an American to actually BUY American.

I really want to like this bike, but I can't get overt the frame, and the fact it looks like an afterthought, the negative spaces again just looks like an afterthought. The powerplant is also another issue for me, the engine in this bike just screams cheap, or China to me. RSD could have done a lot better job with the styling and aesthetics.

[@e.lately7216]

The engine "screams cheap"? That's a new one. There's nothing cheap, or China about it. The engine family has claimed two AMA Championships, has an insane power curve that pulls through the entire band, and is generally loved by those who have raced it. It's the same engine that set lap records the brief time it was in World Superbike.
