    HD should have used Buell tech 20 years ago. Instead HD invested 100s of millions developing the failed HD electric POS "live wire". I will NEVER BUY a new HD ever again...but I will by this new super cruiser! Love it! HD dropped the ball AGAIN.

      @@jamespolucha8790 It is BUELL just not Erik Buell. And the 1190 lineup is exactly what is in my garage from 2024. The cruiser when in production will not be like the one on display, it is a mockup bike the bike that will be produced will have to comply with rules and regulations. I am glad they are back in production, hope to see more on the roads than just myself.

  • @domingonavarro1288
    @domingonavarro1288 Рік тому +3

    I was considering getting a Buell. But they’re in Ducati Panigale price range with NO DEALER NETWORK. They also depreciate phenomenally, and no one to service, or where to get replacement parts. It’s a super cool bike. I love the chain drive. The RS would be my choice, but it’s too expensive. If it was priced in the 600cc sport bike range, I’d seriously consider buying it. Keep in mind, no dealer network, crazy depreciation. I’m not paying for that I’m my own. I’d split the diff with Buell, but not me alone.

    • @Osyrus48
      @Osyrus48 Рік тому +2

      I’d buy that Super Cruiser. Just have a manual available and i can get to work! $25-30K still a better ride investment than a softail for me. A LRS comes out over $20K and that’s bone stock. Throw $5-10K into it and you get a badass LRS, but will still be heavy. We’re talking 450lbs here, which is lighter than my Sportster, pushing 175hp and most likely over 100ft.lbs of torque. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. I guess i feel different cuz i’ve enjoyed high rev’ing bikes, and can wrench on my own machines. And that motor has been proven, just in a new frame. Mostly likely re-tuned for better torque down low. I think they built that machine for people like me!
