Buell -Harley or Rotax engine ?

[turnipbmw]

Have a desperate need to buy a Buell but cant decide upon which engine to have.

I like the originality and spares back up for the Sportster motor

but expect the Rotax engine will be smoother and better put together.

need some help and advice and cant be arsed to look anywhere sensible.

This one is on ebay now - its only got one picture of the actual bike - the rest are off the internet and the guy is/has been in prison which is why he's not using it

Sportster engine.......

I had a Buell....1200 sportster thunder heads....stage one, V&H, ram air filter.. Made your eyeballs wobble at tickover......do not put a V&H exhaust on though as the pulse spits the innards out.....Upon complaint I was told " sorry sir race use only, you have used that on the road..."

The Rotex ones where end of production B4 HD pulled the plug.... idvstay away from those.....look on Ukbeg for more constructive advice.

Get on UKBEG.
Loads of info, loads of opinions.
Especially look up parts prices HD have been putting them up something criminal. I suspect it is because they have to maintain a supply for 10 years, so to save on manufacturing, they are pricing themselves out of the market.

All info on UKBEG.

I have a Buell XB12STT. It was only brought into the UK for a year.
