Riding Buell Motorcycle's Super Crusier Prototype

[@EnkiWesley]

Needs a bag kit... Hard case of course. A Buell bag kit specifically for the bike

[@vernlochtefeld1626]

Bring it. It will sell Big. May provide Buell with more success then they have ever had to date.

[@Nightfieldzop]

Never owned a cruiser type bike, getting older now and this thing looks perfect

[@mikekosar6135]

Excellent Machine….!!! Beauty and A Beast…!!!

[@backroadbeetle4781]

We need more videos like this! Gotta keep me motivated for the next year. I keep wanting to buy a sport touring bike, but know its worth the wait. But im sick of 50hp 😂

[@andrewchavess1996]

So sick lookin … damn

[@dmt6602]

So much talk and loud music over the bike. I wanna hear this thing rip and we get some videos with aftermarket exhaust and some good microphones. I’m on the waiting list. My credit cards gonna be maxed on parts as aftermarket company start pumping out cool add-ons.

[@BrewTownBiker]

On the list, can’t wait

[@highwayman1218]

👍 I own a few bikes of different types and makes (including 2 ripper built HDs) and have been a daily rider since late 80s in So Cal. I dig the bike. Ill be a buyer, but you guys need to stick around. Everytime Ive seen Buell / EBR pop back up, theyre gone just as fast. If you guys make it up the hill and I dont have to 😊worry about a 25k bike I cant get parts, Ill buy one.

[@thomasg3677]

Wanted an American bike that put function above form and this looks like it. There's a sport touring version I'd consider as long as price isn't insane

[@sethliberty9228]

I'm a 20+ year sports bike rider and want to switch over to something more comfortable so I went to KTM's Superduke 1290 and got a little comfort but a newly discovered love for big power vtwin engines, the lc8 is a gateway engine for me. I'm still in search of more comfort but not wanting to switch over to a full on cruiser and the Super Cruiser is just the right mix for me. I can't wait for my Super Cruiser!

[@fmpabxx7834]

I love posers like you. 😅. Sooner or later you all abandon your cheap Chinese toys when you realise they're garbage 😂

[@subuguru3]

Now just establish a delaer network. Easier said than done...

[@BangChief_AllIsOne]

Nobody knows Me, but please send one immediately so I can ride it around....and keep. Godspeed Salute

[@runnin_myles8098]

Do you guys think companies will make after market parts for thses bikes

[@jonrainville3489]

If the bike sells well, the aftermarket will follow. Always does, been that way for years.

[@Arifinsyahpratama]

Nice bike👍

[@damienogden9706]

No hate but it looked so much better before

[@MAHGlie]

Modern FXR. But cruise at 7,000 rpm?

[@jonrainville3489]

I couldn’t have said it better myself. The “Golden Triangle” in the frame gave it away at first glance. Eric Buell had a heavy hand in the design and engineering of the FXR (the GREATEST motorcycle Harley has ever produced!) I can’t wait to park my Super Cruiser right next to the FXR’s in my garage.

[@aa79912]

Can’t wait for mine

[@jdesmo1]

Couldn't make that rear fender look any uglier

[@Hekate1225]

Can't wait.

[@fxlrsaz6363]

Can't wait 😊😊

[@maybelive765]

How similar would this be to a XB12 lightning or 1190sx?

[@cowmath77]

This reminds me a lot of the Triumph Thunderbird Sport from the 90’s. Looks like a similar philosophy of bike but obviously more American.

[@TheBuelliganRides]

It's more closely modeled after the Harley-Davidson FXR. Which Erik Buell helped to design when he worked as an engineer for Hardly Dildoson.

[@daviduliana4447]

make a touring version and I'll buy one.

[@georgedoolittle7574]

Definitely a "craft" based approach but still looks like a real motorcycle absolutely. I would recommend opening up something in Alberta Canada and try and create some type of *"Alcan Highway Special"* as a pretty tough market to sell into but very much worth it if you do $$$$$$$s

[@dmt6602]

I want this so bad. I hope someone makes a Harley style swing arm or atleast something polished 😅

[@RitzCaraldo]

What height of rider are these good for?

[@roybatty-]

What happened? It got so frumpy compared to the early version.

[@Doomzday831]

Starting to look more like a naked bike. I’d like to see it look more like a cruiser.

[@runnin_myles8098]

Yea I wish it had mid controlls

[@mcnuggetapple]

You’re starting to ask for something that already exists lol

[@runnin_myles8098]

​@mcnuggetapple nonlike more like on a dyna

[@mcnuggetapple]

@@runnin_myles8098 I’m pretty sure they’re meaning for this to be super customizable, with a huge aftermarket

[@ragingtyga]

​@@mcnuggetappleyeah we have that already, ether buy a late model Dyna, which this thing is ripping off if in look, or buy a Harley Softail Standard... which is like Half the price and is a complete blank slate traditional looking cruiser

[@UnapologeticAhole]

If a person dosent turn wrenches,hasn't the skills or the tools and space,just likes to ride. Where can these bikes be serviced? Will the the local Harley service department even touch them?

[@jonrainville3489]

You can bring it to my garage. I will be happy to service it for you.

[@stevefavia]

Back fender is hideous!

[@richardbrown7048]

Foot controls position look a little questionable for longer rides. Still seem like there in that sport bike positioning

[@cfmartin568]

Why don’t any of the custom builders use that engine in a cruiser type hot rod bike it’s available used all over the place.

[@backroadbeetle4781]

the older Buell motors were super common to swap, but it's very difficult to package a water cooled motor into say an FXR chassis. Even with a cheap doner bike you'd be well into the $30k range while not being factory reliable. It's such a steal for mid $20s.

[@ragingtyga]

because Builders want a stripped down look... but to do that, you had to go with an Air cooled engine. But air cooled engines have limited power output because otherwise they over heat. Notice that this has a radiator in the front. Most custom builders hate that 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@backroadbeetle4781]

@ragingtyga when I went to Daytona and there were tons of custom fabricators, and they've always wanted what the SC was. But just couldn't make it work. For another reason other than the radiator is where the intake manifold is. I'm still really wondering how they fit it under the tank, or in between. Packaging that motor is a whole lot of work.

[@ragingtyga]

@@backroadbeetle4781 right... the reason is because It's hard to get that stripped down "custom look" with a liquid cooled engine, and it's basically impossible to make a high performance bike using an Air cooled engine. You have to choose. The SC is nice, but it's not going to be as modifiable as a Traditional Harley, and I hope people understand that. You're buying this bike for the most part to keep AS IS. Maybe some bags, or different qtr fairing... but you're not making a chopper out of this

[@backroadbeetle4781]

@ragingtyga luckily it already looks like a tricked out Dyna anyhow, and you'll save tens of thousands in modifications to be still slower than the SC 🤣

[@adamkroeker6800]

I want one

[@marklobley7623]

Not for everyone. Happy about that. If it were everyman's bike it would be coming from UJMC. If that's what you want there are plenty of examples out there.

[@HondaRider190]

screw california. build America the bike, not that communist state.

[@danproctor9771]

💯 Agreed, California seems to have the American auto industry held by the short and curlies

[@subuguru3]

As a Ca resident , I approve this message

[@therory6888]

Is Eric Buell involved in the design and production of these bikes? Or are they just using his name?

[@TheBuelliganRides]

It's Erik (clearly, you're a fan). And no, he's not. But before you get your panties in a wad, there hasn't been a Buick an Olds or a Chevrolet (all people's last names) at General Motors for over a hundred years. Nor has there been a Dodge brother or Walter Chrysler at Mopar for almost as long.

[@therory6888]

@@TheBuelliganRides Good luck, (clearly you are an employee) with bike sales.

[@davidhinricksen9873]

Since Harley won’t build the Bronx I hope Buell builds this lol

[@Dcj01]

Needs bags for long rides

[@mccallj]

I get what they’re trying to do, however I would not spend more than $15-16k for one. I’m afraid they’re going to want much more, to which the value proposition is lost. My opinion.

[@CoreyGrey]

That rear fender is ugly…. Shoulda been alil more rounded to create more gap.

[@RaySiegel]

2:44 - So, in order for you to keep it cool, you had to make it less cool? Y'all should've used the original radiator design, to add to. The new, two piece radiator is ugly, and there's a noticeable gap. 4:25 - I want it to look more like the concept bike, in how the radiator, taillight, and exhaust look.

[@backroadbeetle4781]

do you want your bike in 2025 or 2030 haha?

[@mcnuggetapple]

the exhaust is to make it legal much quicker, the radiator has everybody bitching about how it looked. I thought it was awesome but unfortunately everyone else ruined that

[@5725Hurley]

Yeah, we fell in love with your prototype, not this

[@mcnuggetapple]

This is exactly the same, they have to make it legal to sell coconuthead

[@leehart1498]

Not a cruiser if your feet are tucked up and behind your butt. You would never be able to tour on it.

[@Adam-dc9us]

Well…it’s not a touring bike…it’s a sport/cruiser. Cruising doesn’t mean touring.

[@backroadbeetle4781]

plenty of space for highway pegs, the first thing I'll probably do is make an engine guard with them.

[@MarkHargrave-q8f]

🤞😎

[@joshuadwillard]

I’ve been wanting a cruiser with rear sets for a long time.

[@AppalachianChaplin]

They legit straight up say it ain't made to do cross country trips on. Idk why everyone is trying to make this bike something it isn't supposed to be lol. If you ain't into wheelieing cruisers, a dyna bro, or just an overall hoonigan, then this is not the bike for you. It doesn't need big a** bags, it doesn't need extra tech, it don't need a bigger uglier seat, it ain't supposed to. I think so many people want this bike to be the bike THEY have been waiting for, when it was never supposed to be that to begin with. The vast majority of people agree this is exactly what it needs to be. And I think the numbers for sales will represent that. I'd bet money that these sell out the second they touch the lots, and continue to sell out over n over for the whole first year they're out.

[@ambmainman]

But wait a minute..... that thing is absolutely hideous!

[@captainaxle438]

Read it has three counterbalance shafts, three! And it still vibrates the handle bars. Not my cup of tea. Over engineered marginal design

[@marcz9482]

Can't buy one so who cares. This won't be the final bike

[@jorjimaco5331]

Sorry bud… but it looks like it’s been made up from a parts bin…
