I know it's a strange time of year for a Motorcycle thread but....

Buell is also a good option.

Is Buell still in business?

I think a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 will be my next bike.

Dead as the proverbial doornail. The last Ulysses came out in 2009.

So the poor Buell owners have to get all of their powertrain parts from their local Harley dealer now?

When I had my Ulysses, the HD dealer wasn't interested in selling me parts or service. But that was a crazy fun bike.

IF you have the part number, they MIGHT be willing to order it. HD pretty much disowned Buell when it went tits up, to the point of deleting online microfiche and destroying dealer parts books. I work on a few, and it's frustrating as hell, because I have to not only diagnose the problem, I have to figure out who Buell sourced their components from so that I can attempt to come up with equivalents. Online forums are a source of information on things like fuel system and electronic components, but there is as much bad info out there as good.

This thread makes me want to look for a Honda VFR 800 again...

So, sounds like maybe not such a good option after the last several posts. Lol.

Most likely not... lol. I still think they are ‘good’ bikes but anything with a VTWIN in a sport bikish chassis is a blast. I still really want an 1125 of some kind.
