I don’t really get excited unless a dealer is somewhat near me
LOL... that was unbiased
Not a cruiser guy, but I do like it. Lets see where is goes when it hits the floor.

I've had a soft spot for performance cruisers since 1987 when harley released the FXR-SP, and almost bought one in 1989 when Cycle World east had one on the floor. They were an HD dealer at the time.
Years ago David Edwards built a sporting twin-shock dyna that I thought was pretty cool, though as I recall he when a step too far by removing the electric start and added a kick start kit.
As much as I like them, they're just not going to work for me though. Too heavy and ungainly and not enough Me-specific performance for the dollar.
As for this one, it looks like they're still peddling the oil in swingarm and the perimeter front disc. I'd rather have a twin shock dyna with Storz suspension and somebody's engine work, and I'm with Bigpoppa; no dealer = no bueno.

I got to 43 seconds.
I bailed after, "It's almost like riding a motocross bike on the street."
.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
A 450lb. raked out motocross bike. Apparently he's never seen a supermoto or supermoto inspired street bike.
At the same time, it's handy for me when they telegraph (what I consider) their lack of credibility early on in the video.
Scratching me head here and I’m a Buell owner.
I like muscle cruisers, V-Rod, V-Max, Rocket, Diavel etc. even the air cooled bikes FXR and Lowrider S.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I think Buell could be an interesting motorcycle company. Compete with Italian and Japanese and Brits with bikes riders want. Taking a 80’s Honda Shadow or Magna and Americanize it for 2024 doesn’t seem like a good thing in my eyes.

I thought Buell was dead...
This is Buell V3 (or 4 or 5???). It keeps dying and the name keeps being bought by new companies.

They're just using up all the old parts lying around in the shop. When they're gone they're gone.
