I already love what they have done with that radiator. Finally, instead of complaining about how bad they look, someone's doing something about it.
Oh yeah. The radiator appears boss (no-pun intended, but the engineer who fabricated this component's last name is "Boss," lol).
Is Eric getting any profit off this or is he getting the shaft like Harley give him?
@@leviellis9034 I believe Erik Buell sold the rights to his motorcyle company to a group of investors. This was actually a good thing, because all his previous forays into motorcycle production were undercapiatlized, and relied on enthusiasts to stay afloat. He is currently into electric bicycle and motorcycle manufacturing, with his new company, Fuell. I have one of their bicycles actually. Great engineering.
@@leviellis9034 Erik lost the rights to the Buell name when he sold most of the company to HD back in tha day. That's why he had to relaunch as EBR after HD, because they owned the Buell name, and he couldn't use it. Someone at HD fell asleep at the wheel and let the Buell trademark expire, so the current guys that bought EBR grabbed it. In short, Erik has nothing to do with this version of the company, even though it has his name on it. Erik is semi retired. That said, the FXR connection combined wih all his engineering in the drivetrain means that this bike is still a good homage to him.
@@garyknoetze EBR bikes are the one's to get the v-twin model Buell late 2000's not the early HD 1200 motor Buell of early years.
New bike looks great & good to see a another alternative from HD & Indian.
Buell has come full circle. It started out making sport bikes with cruiser engines, and now makes a cruiser with a sport bike engine.🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Hi Phillip. Well said. I like it.
yes, I was expecting that the company would go forward, not return to 1950. You can put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig. (The lipstick here is the engine)
@@norseman5041 You can’t expect a small company to move forward while keeping the prices down.
Secondly, let’s be honest here… name me another 450lb cruiser with that much torque and horsepower.
They built something thats actually optimized for a guy who rides street. Sportbikes fucking suck on the street. A lot. Cruisers are fucking slow on the street and can't corner. This is a gap in the market and FIIINALLY its being filled. I hope they don't fuck up the production model.
@@sciencemilitia1853 i mean if you wanted something for the street that could corner you’d take a sport touring bike. Meaning no gap was filled with this bike.
Owning an FXR, Lowrider ST, Buell xb12s and an EBR1190sx i love this bike. Its like all the generations of buell engineering in one bike.
I have a XB12 Scg and a EBR1190RX, I barf at this bike.
@@norseman5041 good for you
FXR and XB12 owner myself. Nice lineup!
Man I want a EBR 1190RX, theres only one on sale here in my country atm and I doubt itll stay up for another 6 months
How do you like the EBR? Wanted to get one but bought Livewire instead (which also was heavily influenced by Buell's ideas about frame geometry and mass centraliztion)
I think if this becomes available to the public I'll be selling my Harley and riding this. My current Harley a 2020 soft tail 114ci, broke down the first week from the dealer, saddlebag locks failed within 6 months. Everything seems cheap now that I'm a year into owning it and I'm regretting paying 24k for it. Thank you Buell for listening to consumers for listening to people who want a powerful alternative in the American made cruiser market
The ebr 1190s are pretty reliable as well, I own one and it never had an issue
This is the bike that could get me back on a american motorcycle.
I'm selling my dyna and my Buell for one of these.
I'll sell both my Harleys to get this bike
Sounds like a bs story to me
This bike has made me hit the brakes on my summer motorcycle purchase! Long Live Buell!!
first saw this bike yesterday and thought "man, they're really circling the drain without Erik. Buell's not about that." then heard the term FXR thrown around and went "well, if that's the inspiration at least they've got their heads in the right space." then i heard Roland Sands.. hey now... and now i see it and think "yeah, i dig the SOA style... got a cool look to it." then my man opened his mouth. 450lbs, 180hp???? what?? ok, they've converted me in a day.
They need to get this out on the market gorgeous bike and sounds like a beast
the cruiser guys always complain when I pull up with my 1190RX with a Dean Adams exhaust, now suddenly when the same engine and sound is in a cruiser they love it ?
I dig it! The styling isn’t 💯 perfect for my taste but the 90’s vibes are doing enough for me. What really excites me is a “cruiser” bike with actual sportbike levels of performance. The weight and horsepower make me want this bike.
☝👏👍
The Honda Magna is reborn. Lopped off a couple cylinders, but the ethos of that bike feels alive in the super cruiser
There is always custom parts to make the styling your own.
Best Idea!!!!! Build it just like this and use known dimensions. For example, make the bar risers the same width as the Harley. Make it so as many aftermarket parts for the Harley will fit as possible. Same mounting dimensions and spacing and hardware sizes. Then the aftermarket support for the fairings, bags, bars, wheels, sissybars etc... is already built in.
It looks and sounds great! I can't wait to ride it 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
That's a hard pass for me, I grew up on buell and this is real weak. The whole point of buell was to make it around a corner faster than anyone else at that time. The frame was Erik Buell, Harley just supplied that weak sportster engine. They should call it something else cause that's not a Buell
@@ericcastle9416 I totally agree, we who live and breathe Buell for years are throwing up. I was expecting something that would compete with the new Ducati, and her we are. Putting a 1/2 powerful modern engine in a 1960 frame and everyone in the cruiser world is in line to the outhouse to jerk off. all these years they have been claiming it is the ride, not the horsepower.
@Norse Man lol I guess this is a ploy to sell bikes, just looks like it's selling out instead. I'm surprised at 650ib being a fan, but it takes all kinds I guess. I have a 95 S2, with the added t package. It's heavy and slow but it goes around a corner as well as my CBR. Parts are too expensive for it now to daily, but it turns heads when I bring it out.
I bought a Buell XB12X Uly new and drove it around the world twice, then bought an 1125CR and still have them both. Really well designed and engineered. Just put in a pre-order for this awesome bike!!
Fantastic accomplishment on a fantastic bike.
Awesome man!
I was (still am) a huge fan of the Buell XB bikes. Now I'm a huge fan of this one.
This may be the single best new old thing I have ever seen.
450 lbs and 180hp.. what sounds crazy !!!!
😳....!!! 175 hp, 450 lbs, and water cooled !!! 😎 That's Crazy Badass !!! Thanks for sharing, Cheers from Austin Texas.
I will believe it when I see it
@@noidreculse8906it’s a super duke motor so they aren’t lying on the power, now just got to keep the weight down.
@@bbdl7042 None of that matters if the bike doesn’t get made and the dealer network doesn’t get built out.
Where is a progress report? How far along are they with manufacturing at this point?
Yeah! 😮
That’s what we need!
Hell yea!
Roland is the best man for such a task !!!
Can’t wait till it comes out!
👌👍💪
Harley FXR was made between 1982-1994 and made a reappearance in 1999 as the first CVO offering. Can’t wait to get my hands on this bike.
This is more exciting than anything coming from Harley in a while, RSD is on a roll with every project and collaboration they do.
I've owned an XB9R and Blast. Both were great bikes and a ton of fun to ride
I have a 2005 Buell Blast that I’ve rebuilt 3 times and still love. Still riding it to this day along with my Bonneville. Been looking at cruisers for my next addition which so far has been a Harley Road Glide but now I kind of want this bike.
Love the way the radiator was incorporated into the whole design of the bike. Can wait to see the production version.
How HD should have done it
Roland always has made really great bikes great video 👍
YES!!! Bill Melvin knows he has something special here, and that sound is visceral!
I love the twin disc brakes on the front and led headlight on the rear.
First street motorcycle I bought was a 2003 Buell Blast. I loved that thing.
I currently own a Sportster S, but if this comes out, that will change. 100%
Adam always has the most epic helmet hair
You think lack of personal hygiene is helmet hair? It's sad
This brings back the real muscle bike era! Bad ass!
The super cruiser design looks superb. 👍🏻
I think it looks really good! 👍🏻I’d be happy riding that bike!!!
2:33 she lives. Omg. Amazing.
That back seat and swingarm. Just wow. Amazing engineering and design.
I'm in new Zealand and have a 89 fxr,this big looks and sounds great I think this will b the next big thing once it gets to production
That bike looks bad ass it’s good to see bulle still building motorcycles I thought they were going to bring back there super bike thanks for Video Adam
Made the press over the pond looks great from here👍🏽
love it. hope it's a success
The air cooler XB series is one of the best handling bikes ever. Lacked in top end acceleration but handled like a dream.
450 lbs is freaking crazy!
i looked at it and saw all of 600... when he said that i almost wept.
Roland sands: this makes you feel like a gangster dude
Im sold man
Aaah the Buell Blast. My first bike. You were terrible in every way, but somehow still a lot of fun. I almost miss ye.
Very Nice! Great Job Adam!
I love it!! Just preordered one!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
I will definitely be buying one. That thing is bad ass!
Front brakes look wicked sick.
Comphy fast powerful = perfect.
That sound is amazing and beautiful
What a beautiful bike!!! Brill does it again!!!
Looks and sounds awesome guys. Kudos.
if this beats harleys price, i see a good future! cool bike, you can tell the passion in these guys
It would be too good to be true.
even if it doesn't, even if it's more, what does Harley have to compete with it? just their name, and that's not what it was years ago. Harley doesn't have the stones to do this... i'm amazed they put 150hp into an adventure bike... if they ever built anything like this it would be in response to this, and even then they'd have to start the project now to get it out in the two years Buell will because they move like sloths. if they were to try to compete, that'd be a great thing... but i can still see Buell kickin their ass on this.
@@thtigmif It is not hard to beat their price and performance. I worked in their research and development lab for 2 years as a senior technical specialist. Its pretty hopeless. Do not buy their new watercooled V Twin. Its a fucking NIGHTMARE in all regards. Disposable pile of shit.
That looks freaking amazing
Definitely can't wait to see the cost. Regret selling my custom backline. This is exactly what ive been wanting to build again
Hit the nail on the head. I would 100% buy this bike.
I absolutely love this bike, if Harley had embraced performance and had an actual marketing team this is what we could have had.
Instead we've had CEO's who don't care about riding and want "heritage" without the actual heritage. Seriously this is what Harley started out as, a bare nothing bike built to go faster then the competition, true heritage.
So if anyone from Buell is here and reading comments just know I will do ANYTHING to have this bike when it's released
Wow. I hope this becomes reality and lasting. If that is reasonably priced (more then Harley) and dependable, I would consider it for its comfort and cruisability.
Just might be looking at the First New Bike I've ever actually gone ahead and bought. Once it is available! Hell yeah 👍
I can't wait to get my greasy hands on one of these!
Bike is fvckin sick! My dudes hair and stash in the beginning has me dying
A big HELL YEAH for direct to consumer sales. 🤘😎 🇺🇸
I’m for it, but I am questioning what about servicing and warranty repairs ect. I’m in jersey and I’ve been looking to see where I’d need to go for that stuff and there isn’t anything available
Looks awesome!
The owner looks really excited about this project and he should be cause this bike is going to sell out STUNT BIKE 🔥
Wow, amazing helmet hair!
This is beautiful!!
10:26 Everybody talking to one other. You talking to thousands. Greta job thank you for covering this event.
So Siiiiiick... finally a riders bike with true American Spirit. 👍 outstanding work Buell 🔥 🔥 🔥
i love this bike i want it now congratz on making something well worth the money ... instant collector
That is a really nice bike I'm very impressed with how they designed it
they just had a look at a old HD catalogue from 1970
got mine on pre-order!
This is so cool
Bought my first Harley and love it. Only hate the low power. This bike is what I want
I think im finally gonna buy a buell, lol. I've been kickin' the idea around for years. Wanted an 1190rx. Still do. But this super cruiser really has my attention. I think itll look amazing next to my 22 indian challenger
It looks awesome
I like everything about it! An icon already, in my opinion.
✌😅👌
Great review! Subscribing.
You can definitely make 4 versions off this platform easily
i see two out of the gate... this SOA style "Muricans gon' kill themselves on this" version, and a plastic tail sicknasty 200hp Ducati Diavel killer.
Looks badass.
I dig it for sure! 🔥
As someone with a 17 Dyna lowrider S, I will have one of these!!
I want to see it myself so excited
I had two buells, both great bikes.
Actually a bit better design than I expected. We'll see what production does to the final product.
that muffler definitely ain't makin it. i just hope the production version isn't twice the size of the swingarm.
Great video Adam, love that bike, looks and sounds amazing! Was that the Kevin Duke I saw in the background?
Like the bike. I ride cuz I love sitting on a engine and having the wind on me and experiencing the ride in the corner, the lean, the power and speed and most of all, the freedom of not being contained in a metal box.
Man!! I really like this....alot!!
this bike is pretty badass. hopefully they sell these. i want one
I'll wait until Adam give us his evaluation but it looks good!
Right bike, for the right time!
That is SICK💙😎
I'm getting this bike, mark my damn words. She will be mine
An incredibly talented man.......
This is going to break the Motorcycle industry, everyone wants this style bike and with it being water cooled and all that power, they won’t be able to make enough of them for the public IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT
Going to need one
I need that beast in my life!
Great video and a nice hair style.
I have a 83 FXR project, 04 XB12 and an electra glide. This better come into production so I can add it to the stable! 😎
Nice bike !!
Looks a lot like my next bike!
why is half your mustache long? lol firt time coming across this channel. just came across the Buell super cruiser today as well and im in love!
Would love to have one next to my XR1200. Put some soft bags and a small back rest. Done.
I want one bike looks sick
Fxr was 1982-1994 then brought back in 99-00 as the test bed for the cvo line up.
Beautiful scooter
Love it...
I need one of those Buell
