Initial break in is almost complete!

It keeps growing on me. The photo was taken at Silchester Roman fort this morning. I went there via all the twisties I could find. I'm almost to the edge of the rear tyre now and I couldn't say that about any other bike I've had. (Think my tyre bills will be BIG though).

 

The motor isolation works really well, only a slight tingle gets through to the pegs at speed and nothing to the bars at all. I think I could tour on this thing. Can't wait for my anodised span adjustable levers to come, my left hand is killing me! And the plain ally standard levers are making my beige gloves black.

 

70 miles to go and I can start using the engine gradually harder.

I think that's the best lookin' Buell I've seen yet... :notworthy:

 

Nice, Nogmeister! :thumbsup:

Buell really put the fun in motorcycles!

Not bad,

Not bad? It looks evil to me :angry:

Nogbad could be the Forum's new Mr Angry?

Sorry – Ms Angry.

Very nice.

 

 

I like Buells :bike:

 

 

Humorously, the best looking Buell I ever saw was in Brussels....

 

...not here in the USofA :P

 

I think it was an old Lightning, blue, with a cool off-center white stripe running up the fender, over the flyscreen, and down the length of the bike.

beige gloves? they say its the new black. :) nice bike, keep an eye on that belt! and start a savings fund for rear tyres.

Nice, but where's the front fender? Is it extra for a real front fender? What if you want to ride in the wet? Must you put up with road debris all over the engine? This is my pet peeve for most new "sporty" bikes. When did proper front fenders go out of style? Phehh.

You can say that about weather protection on all bikes. After getting thoroughly sick of scraping crud off the back of the gearbox due to useless rear guards, I've been trying to get a manufacturer interested in making a hugger for the small blocks for ages. One size fits all, thousands and thousands of them out there. No success.... I really hate cleaning unneccessary road crap off a bike. Not to mention the potential for damage.
