Are Buell's pretty reliable?

KM? Do you live in Canada?

My XB has been problem free. Now, it's only got 7000 miles on it...but they've been as trouble free as could be for me, and the previous owner.

The belt is fucking awesome. It's quiet. There's no driveline lash, nothing to lube or adjust.

People can knock a Sportster engine all they want but the bottom line is that it is a rock solid, super strong, extremely reliable engine.

Oh...and FUCK YOU ebbs. Buells rule and your Kawi sucks.

Never a single problem with the '02 M2 Cyclone... except for sore facial muscles from all the grinnin'. Plus not a me-too bike, seen everywhere.

I always have a great time with the Buell on the track. Here's some pics from the Buell Inside Pass trackday at Homestead Miami Speedway...

And my bike has more miles than your bike... go ride that fucker!

Thats pretty weird. And listen buddy...I ride that motherfucker...alot...the problem is I also work ALOT...so I ride to work...which is 4 miles.

I got a total of 3 good rides in last year with that bike. 1 group ride with OTB and his Baltimore crew. And twice on my own...one of which I low sided.
