If a Buell is the worst bike you've ever ridden then your resume isn't as diverse as I thought it was. If you said over-hyped or disappointing I would understand.
I'd like to know what year and model it was, and I'd like for his google to be diabled for him to answer it..

Sheesh, guys, it's an opinion. Tigger could have ridden a horrible Buell while Tmall's could be awesome. They aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm doing an entire phase of lock wiring at work.

A lot of spare time on my hands, and I love catching ppl in bs.

I'm not saying tigger is, I'm just saying "if he is, ill take the most enjoyment out of it.."

Subjective Opinion.

If you asked what was the worst dirt bike I've ever ridden...that would be one bike.

Worst sport bike-Buell

Worst cruiser-Suzuki GS450L

Bottom line is I get to determine what I believe to be the worst bike I've ever ridden was. For me, I take in what the bike was designed to do vs what it actually does. Personally, I don't fault a person's opinions, everyone is welcome to them.

Not to mention my opinion was colored by the fact that I had just gotten off my Busa!!! I honestly don't remember what year it was and if I am wrong about the first Harley Buells having fuel in the frame, etc. I honestly apologize to Buell owners. Even still, as I said, Buell has constantly maintained that his designs are superior to the Japanese. I haven't seen any proof of that.

Where would the "BS" be? Is it impossible to believe that I've ridden a Buell? Or could it be unimaginable that I didn't like it? Sure, I must be making the whole thing up just to be "cool"....

Actually, I've honestly ridden two Buells. I rode an old school one and I rode a Firebolt for about 20 miles once... Old school is the bike I'm talking about, Firebolt sucked for other reasons mostly centered around power delivery...

In the Buell mind they are... if you don't like one, you're un-American, a BSer, etc, etc, etc.

You have to admit one thing though. There are not very many "I used to ride a Buell" people. I meet many of ex GSXR or ex CBR riders. From what I have seen, once you own a Buell, you love them.The only exception is the Blast owners that are looking to move up.
