@@robertjeffery6100 that’s one way to look at it

@@johnmacias01 Roland Sands Design was paid to produce the concept bike. Buell is now in the process of creating production bikes based on the concept bike that RSD created. Perhaps he’s still being paid to assist with the process, I don’t really know but my guess is his work is done.

@@MaddNomad1015 Appreciate the good words, right there with you! I’m curious to hear what they have to say about the new brake selection though, Brembo is outstanding but I thought we were going all American.

@@alexdetagxi8148 $25,900. Whether or not that’s right/good price really depends on what you want out of your bike/ride. If you’re into high performance it’s on point! If you like all of the comfort type bells and whistles and flashy looking parts, it’s probably not the best choice for you. IMO

@@echevarriawilson mmmm not seeing it. Okay tbh yes there’s similarities but also very different.

@@adnanlatif9007 had to look it up, “American Performance Cruiser”, very nice bike!

ARCH MOTOR IS MORE OF A CAFE RACER

@ I’m first to admit I’m not up to speed on all of the categories but I thought cafe bike had that more aggressive forward leaning race position, more like a sports bike?

@@EvendimataE I hear you I really like the naked bikes but I’ve never considered my motorcycles as toys and even if I did, you know what when we really want something, we find a way.

@@EvendimataE life is short, don’t cheat yourself! 👍

@@leward yeah I don’t think it’s in the same category as the triumph at all, and now that I’ve taken a closer look at that duc, aside from having two wheels and a ton of hp, that’s not really comparable either. IMO

@@leward read this today, "… Bikes like the Ducati Diavel and the Triumph Speed Triple also have that forward, toe-touch riding style, whereas our riding style is… a much more neutral spine, hands forward, and legs at a very comfortable 90 degrees. It's not quite a neutral riding position, but the result is significantly more neutral than the Lowrider S or the 101. This ergonomics choice allows you to drive more weight into the [Super Cruiser’s] foot pegs, which is more of a performance application. You transfer your weight, but you also put a horizontal aspect into the bike by using your feet - and you can get more twist and response rate out of the bike by using your feet to drive the bike to do what you want it to do." Matt Laurent - Engineering Lead, Buell

@@1190Shellback I’m curious to see which bikes moto journalists will review it up against.

@ Perhaps low rider s and sports chief?

@ lol yeah same here, that swing arm was an immediate turn off for me and until I took a longer look into the parts where they came from and then who put them together. Like you said it grew on me and yes, it is bad ass.👍

@@icyGrip666 are you saying it’s more cruiser than super bike or did you mean “curser”? Either way, please explain I’m genuinely interested.

@1190Shellback i was saying it's more of a cruiser. Will this thing have bad ass performance no doubt. But from my understanding a cruiser is about the positioning of the rider and kind of the style. Considering what I've seen people do with there harely's at this point you can obviously make them fast or stunt bikes and they can obviously do more than just long rides. But if you put this bike next to a ducati penagali or my rsv4 factory I'm pretty sure most riders or normies would identify it as a cruiser. I'm not taking anything away from this bike I think it's very cool. The super sport version of it may hit that more because of its style. Ether way hope this better explains my opion.

@ Loud and clear my friend, I’m just stuck knowing it’s pretty much the Hammerhead in a cruiser style frame. Ergonomically a cruiser, no doubt, but performance-wise… @throttleblip told me earlier today that the Super Cruiser has 50 degrees lean angle! That’s 100% Super Sport territory. Although I will say this, somebody mentioned the arch, I forgot what model, but anyway, they mention the arch as a comparable bike, and when I went to their website to check it out, they were calling it an “American Performance Cruiser.” I can concede that it belongs in a cruiser category but I don’t think I’ll ever see it as way more cruiser than sport for all of the above reasons.

@@Whisky148 I probably would’ve said the same thing before I moved to Arizona. Now it looks like a cool drink of water!

@@Osyrus48 that makes a lot of sense. I’ll have to check that video out. Thanks. From what I’m able to gather it should cruise around 7000 RPMs and then really start to pull from 8500 all the way up to 11 K! What I really like to see somebody do as a review of different exhaust, this will be the first time the sound of it is the most important thing to me. I think we got HP to spare on this one! And was it the tuning or did they remove a couple of the injectors? Anyway, yeah, that and then mirrors signals and possibly the tail light and license plate mounting. Other than that, I definitely need a set of pegs up front, which is funny because there was a time when I said, you’d never catch me with a set of highway pegs, but that was a long time ago Before I really did any long range rides. Interested see what they come out with for bags and may get a mid sissy for the passenger. She deserves it, been sitting on a p-pad on rigid!

@ Heard about the injectors being removed on this SC. And the rake angle being “dumbed down” to make it more of a cruiser. Im sure others can modify to improve on those but 175hp stock is more than enough for me on the streets. I’ll never make use of all that horsepower if im being honest. And that even with the “dumbed down” handling it’ll still handle better than any harley on the market. So exhaust is the only mod im still looking to do. This means cheaper than if i buy a low rider s which will need more than a pipe swap for me.

@ 💯

@@Osyrus48 hey just out of curiosity what are you considering for exhaust set up on your super cruiser?

@ dont know yet. Havent researched on that. Im willing to wait too. I’d want to change the whole exhaust system not just the tip. That way, i get the ground clearance like the concept i think it looks way better. Any suggestions?

@@Rem700R5MN we won’t know till we know, but Bill Melvin did say you could upgrade to Ohlins if you wanted to, so I don’t see why that Buell perimeter brake wouldn’t be offered as well. That’s another one to file in the “we’ll see“ category. As for the roadside repair, as a long time rider and commercial driver I’ve made my share of them and you’re right but after considering it I do prefer parts with the largest pool of replacement options so the loss isn’t really an issue for me. Appreciate your thoughts👍

@@GeorgeEdmonds-v7e We can agree to disagree on that. what do you consider a good looking bike?

@@1190ShellbackDon't get me wrong it's a badass bike.But it's all mechanical and no aesthetics,in my opinion.And if you must know I ride a 2015 Indian Chief Vintage.

@ nice bike and I get it. So the bikes are different almost like the difference between looking at a retro styled American car vs looking at a stock car. Both outstanding in their own way but if you’re into classics and car shows you might not think much of stock car aesthetics. I’d your into high speed performance and handling though that stock car is a work of art! It’s all relative.

It's a $25k ugly bike

@ what are you on?

@@AMERICAFIRST54 most of the parts are from Buell Hammerhead, designed by Erik Buell, Champion Road Racer. Super Cruiser designed by Roland Sands, also Champion Road Racer. You can also look up the Super Cruiser “track day”. It’s pretty much a Super Bike.

@1190Shellback the person in the videos riding the bike wouldn't know one way or the other, a professional would.

@@DingleBerryschnapps that’s an opinion just curious what do you ride or what do you consider a great looking bike.

@@nbowling10trio exactly, current HD plan is to go electric too. Those are the reasons I am glad to be selling my Harley and getting a Buell.

Is it owned by BlackRock and vanguard like Harley is?

@ Not yet.

Look up Yamaha Road Star Warrior 1700 to see the first supercruiser.

@ I’m sure it’s a great bike I’m just not interested in foreign cruisers. Dirt bikes is a different story but on the street I’m only interested in American iron.

@@mfabrizius 3rd quarter 2025 is the word. We’ll see!

@@1190Shellback3rd quarter of 2025 is pretty optimistic I think, no doubt there will be setbacks before they start full production. They are supposed to fill the pre-orders first. I am one of the pre-orders, I hope to see mine by summer 2026.

@ right there with you on the preorder waitlist and fingers crossed hopeful for 2025 release. We’ll see.

It's a muscle cruiser as is the sportser s Ducati diavel rocket 3

@ yeah these categories and terms are new to me. I’ve never really had a need to define a cruiser so specifically, but now my question is is a muscle cruiser and a power cruiser the same thing or are those separate categories?

@@BEDbMAK1 Beauty is very subjective. Some guys want a bike with all the comforts of a car heated grips seat, floorboards, luggage, racks windshield, bedazzled, coffee, mug… Some guys like choppers stripped down, bare bones, fiery rippers. Some guys want comfort some guys want Performance. Whatever you think about the way it looks there’s no denying, this bike is unrivaled in performance in the cruiser world.

@1190Shellback personally I like old full metal cruisers. Like yamaha raider 1900, VTX1800, older harlyes, etc. This one looks... For me it just not cool. It looks like smth that was build of leftovers from someone's garage.

@ yeah you lost me at Yamaha but to each his own.

Agree 100 percent. Looks like a Sportster. I don't like it.

​@@1190Shellback Fyi, Nothing you listed has to do with looks. It looks like a Sportster and I've never liked sportsters.

@@Jimmy_Jim_Jim_1234 copy that, mine is for sale right now.😂 You better get that $50 deposit in ASAP though!

@@kawaman2192 uh… whot?

the Buell is nice ,but a sports bike motor in a cruiser type chassis is not exactly a new idea.

@ what is comparable? Serious question, if there’s a cruiser, that’s comparable I’m not aware of of it.

@@1190Shellback 2011 ducati diavel carbon,1198cc 160bhp,95 torque L twin motor in a cruiser type package.Have you not heard of them?

@ I have but it’s not what you wrote. The sentence you wrote was confusing to me. Now I see what you were saying.

@@cdrbews I could see it fitting into a category called “muscle cruiser“ but I can’t see the Super Cruiser or the Ducati in the same category as the Triumph Rocket.

@@cdrbews all right so I just looked up “muscle cruiser” and this is the definition I found, “The term is a bit vague and hard to describe, but essentially, it is any motorcycle that features a large engine and a single focus: acceleration. This is why most muscle motorcycles are cruisers, or as some would like to call them, power cruisers.” so my hang up with that definition or category is calling the super cruiser a motorcycle with a single focus on acceleration. Yes it has a “large motor“ but with that definition, I think of the triumph rocket or that guy slapping v8 motors into “cruisers”. With that definition, I don’t see the super cruiser fitting into that category.

It is far better than both of those bikes... not even in the same category.

@ I agree

@ vastly different anyway that’s for sure but if you had to pick one of the existing categories, I guess that’s a contender sort of

@@codylamb2543 that sums it it up for me right there! I just got home from Moto Beach Classic where I got to throw a leg over… it was at that moment the clouds parted and a beam of sunlight shone down upon me haha Sublime’s what I got was onstage nearby while the waves rolled in and a seagull smiled as a single prop plane cruised by… it’s impossible to accurately describe how great that bike really feels but for me that moment was a soothing embrace of beach vibes mixed with that feeling of sitting on the line waiting for the gate to drop or the lights to go green. nitromethane teardrops. Ready! Waiting to launch! Bliss. It was like that buttery comfort of top quality full grain gloves… with wolverine claws. If climbing on a cruiser was like plopping down into the cockpit of a cargo plane, this was like buckling into the pilot’s seat of Mavericks Tomcat or better yet, an A-10. If I had to pick a word though, it would definitely be, “Badass”. and that was just sitting there, key off. You said it, Can’t wait to ride one! Stoked.

@@waydel1 I bought a street glide brand new back in 2007. Thing sounded like a sewing machine, stock. I felt sorry for the bike and a little embarrassed to ride it like that tbh Long story short, I agree with you. Let them breathe!

@@waydel1 going with Fox for suspension but yeah the performance is almost scary lol i don’t think people realize yet, this thing is an absolute beast.

@@joelaichner3025 100% I’m in.

@@ricardomendez4106 I know he went straight to work for Harley (as soon as he earned his engineering degree) and was on the FXR design team and yes, I love this evolution! That frame was a big step in the performance and handling direction and we see where that went. Just learning about this Buell history has opened my eyes to how ignorant blind allegiance can be… Loyal Americans kept Harley Davidson alive when they were headed for extinction and the company promised to never send American jobs for building Harleys overseas… now look at them. Using our money to help indoctrinate our kids… FJZ

@@mfitze1 typically “sports bike parts” = foreign. Back in my days 😂 we were taught that supporting your country was a good thing.🇺🇸 That aside, the point I was trying to get across is that I love this bike because it’s American and high quality, high performance.

I guess technically it’s Fox Factory.

@@Rem700R5MN yeah thanks I saw that announcement and made follow up video earlier.🇺🇸

Fox makes a good product.

@@davidvanbrunt4233 looking forward to riding it!

@@tjzulu1 I’d bet money it definitely will change the cruiser market. Long overdue too. WE’LL SEE!!!!!!!😂

@@1190Shellback Indeed my brother!!!

@@tjzulu1 indeed!🇺🇸

@@BBhatt-pi5ob that’s funny. I tried to turn my first bike into a café, but yeah, the super cruiser isn’t really a cruiser. Just about every part on it is designed for racing. “It’s a sports bike in disguise” -Ken Kaplan

@@johnjarrett3311 that’s the first time I’ve heard that one. I rode a street glide mid 90’s. Very comfortable but yeah I’m not with all the woke bs at all.

@@johnjarrett3311Sporty’s are perfect for ripping around on. I was thinking about scooping one up to get me from now until the SC is released. My Shovelhead is in the shop more often than not. I just wouldn’t buy anything new from HD right now.

@@fuzzybarnwood it’s more difficult for some than others! Welcome to the the Revolution!🇺🇸👍

@@missinglink9973 unless we’re talking motocross, literally rather ride any Harley (pre-Zietz) over any Japanese bike.

@@1190Shellbacksad, cause there a few good one, not to mention Indian. I don’t actually know shit about victory. How anyone is still die hard Harley blows my mind. The company had to have the government bail them out, they went woke, and don’t even manufacture parts here anymore. I don’t care what you ride, as long as it’s one 2 wheels. The Buell SC looks insane. Edit: you know your history!

@@skyblockjake I acknowledge pretty much everyone on two wheels when I’m riding but for me, if I die riding it’s going to be on an American bike. But to each his own, in the wind is in the wind!👍
