Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?
XB12S - I had a Buell Lightning 1200cc motorcycle for about 3 years. Buell WAS the sports bike branch of Harley Davidson until Harley dumped them a few years ago after about 26 years together. The Buell Lightning shared the same engine as the Sportster. Lots of low end torque, fun to ride. I had a 25th year anniversary edition (2008 model). Harley service and parts were still covering Buell but only at select stores. I was somewhat bitter about the break-up, but not as much as some other Buell owners. Harley CEO decided that they wanted to focus on their cruisers and maximizing profits (selling gear, merchandise, T-shirts). The margin on sports bikes are low by comparison.
