$22K plus taxes, dealer prep, license & registration etc.  Should make it close to $30K.   :shocked:  BUT "a claimed 185 hp and 102 lb-ft of torque and have a wet weight of 439 lb."

I read a great article about the guy behind Buell..Really hope he makes it but they don't have a bike yet I'd be interested in. I don't like the looks of any of them.

Ugly bike and more ugly saddle boxes ($1500). I'll be curious how that windshield works out for touring. You need to be out of the wind/turbulence when touring.                     

For that price, I'll pass.

News flash….nobody is buying that to tour on.

If you have one foot on a banana peel and one in the grave you’re not the demographic Buell is going for.

They are calling it a Super Tourer.

But I can't imagine touring on that Tourer. I guess it comes down to the buyers definition of a Tourer motorcycle.

I’m retracting my previous comment. I was looking at the second link posted by AJ. That bike looks nothing like a sport tourer but more like a Dyna or Low Rider ST in profile

Oh there’s plenty of Guzzi content Tom.  Old men complaining about motorcycles they don’t understand and will never  buy is a hallmark of Guzzi riders. Hehe

I am a huge fan of Erik Buell, whom I consider the "Colin Chapman" of the motorcycle world.  I gather he is not involved in this?

Second question: Is this yet another motorcycle designed for NBA stars?  (What is the seat height?)

Correct, Erik Buell is not with Buell anymore. He is currently CTO at FUELL which have a focus of electric motorcycles and ebikes.

A goodly percentage of the riders here would be looking for a lie down before the Buell broke a sweat…
Too many guys slagging it off, it’s gunna’ be a better bike than most of us are riders.
Bugger me.
You’ve only to look at the lame excuses why some guy won’t go and get a Norge that’s 2.5 days away yet we collectively stand in judgement on the thing.
I reckon it’s probably darn decent, to my eyes it looks good to go. I’d rather be on that than a poxy FJR Yamaha or such. Those things have all the personality of a wooden spoon.

No need to spend >$30,000+ for a new BUELL...when you can sport tour on one of these classics!! :thumb: :boozing:

A bit stodgy, perhaps, but comfortable and reliable and capable all day long (IMHO). :cool: :bow:
