Not one positive comment... hmm.  Buells are sweet. There we go.

@aivilik actually Harley went straight to Buell and told them they needed a new water-cooled engine to stay competitive in the market. This is where the V-rod engine first came about because it was originally supposed to be slotted into a tuber frame, but once Willie G. found out about the project he decided it would be badass to have that engine in a cruiser and that kind of took the project to a new area and made it impractical to be used in a sport bike

@germankid93 I doubt Buell ever asked HD to build an OHC motor at all. He used to be an HD engineer; I'm sure he was well aware that HD was never going to allocate resources to designing and/or building a different kind of motor.

@MrHarry46 Depends on the nature of the change, who initiates it, and why.

@macdaddy1600 You can't compare V-twins to inline fours; it's apples & oranges. Buells have always out-cornered jap bikes. Racing is supposed to be about who the more skilled *rider* is, not what bike is faster. Different bikes are different, so of course they're not going to perform the same. If you want high top end, you get an inline four. If you want low-end torque, you get a V-twin. If you want to know who the better racer is, you put two different riders on a couple of identical bikes.

The 1125 never HAD an HD motor. The bikes that started out with the HD motor/HD 'style' motor ALWAYS had the same motor.

[aivilik]

@macdaddy1600 Because it was American made. The ENGINE (Rotax) was not made in America, but the rest of the bike, to the best of my knowledge, was made in America, and whether or not even THAT is true; Buell was an American company, and THAT makes it an American bike.

[macdaddy1600]

@aivilik the 1125 is not made by buell so why even say its a american bike its not

[macdaddy1600]

@RogueBrit lol hahaha

[macdaddy1600]

@buellboy97 they lost races thats why the jap bikes kicked there ass its a fact

[buellboy97]

Feel I shoud say a few things here. 1) It's a BUELL engine. It was designed by buell who then took their design to rotax. 2) It's because of harley that buell hung in there for as long as they did. The economy and because people refuse to buy AMERICAN is what killed buell. 3) Lastly (though I could go on), the XBs, "S" models and even the Battle Twins were killer bikes. HD torque, good rpm wrapped in a nice tight nimble pakage. Minimal riding and the bike become an extension of your own body.
