Blair, as always thank you for the support! After riding v2 yesterday, it is weightless in the corners and once you get a feeling for the controls it is like you rode it your whole life, effortless. Invigorating to ride. Cant wait till we get it into everyone's hands!
Ken Jr is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I just purchased my 24 hammerhead from him and I couldn't be happier with everything he's done for me and all the prompt responses from phone calls and texts. A++ dealership experience.
Buell made the bike that Harley and Indian should have made a long time ago.. Finally a company making a cruiser that is lightweight & flickable, and makes good power... You honestly can't even build something like this yourself without dumping mountains of cash into it.. I am definitely gonna get my hands on one of these at some point when they hit the market. Would love to see the bike with some hard bags on it.. That exhaust gotta go tho, but that's nothing unusual with pretty much any factory bike these days with all the restrictions & bs requirements they gotta meet.
"That exhaust gotta go tho".....agree.....just detracts from what Buell set out to do. "......all the restrictions & bs requirements they gotta meet" That's because everyone has given power to a 'Bully' who needs to be de-thrown and de-funded.
That dash looks like it's fresh out of the early 2000s, for nearly $40,000AUD that _NEEDS_ to be fixed. For that kind of money the bike needs to be 100% set up and ready to rock.
Just found this video, but I've been extremely excited to see the progress of this bike. Only thing I'm not crazy about are the reservoir placements. It's such a damn good looking bike, but I wish the reservoirs were maybe on the driver side of the bars or just "lower" in some way.
Well my biggest questions were 1: Does it have enough sexiness? And 2: Is it dialed in? I’m happy to report that those questions were answered. No other questions were answered, but thankfully he answered those two questions at least 100 times. Guess I’ll wait for the spec sheet to see how many gallons that tank holds but at least I know how much sexiness it holds. All of it.
Before you screw things up, you need to slip on the tank the “Buell pegasus” somewhere, not just “Super Cruiser” , so if you’re focusing on the new tank, put the Buell emblem on there. 🐴
Would be nice to have some sort of metal medallion like HD of the Pegasus with the brand name. Something about 4"x6" that followed the flow of the tank.
I just put down my $1000 deposit. I hope the production model doesn’t have that giant “SUPER CRUISER” logo on the tank. I’d rather it just say “BUELL”.
One of the largest complaints about Indian vs Harley is the lack of dealerships. How will Buell be any better than those two companies when it comes to that?
That will definitely be a big hurdle for them. Same with service centers. Like I've said with Indian, they can't expand unless people buy their bikes. There will be some growing pains for sure. I know they are working to re certify shops that were previously certified to work on Buell. I'll bring this up the next time I make a video with them.
I believe the email read they would send an additional email out to preorder customers in sequential order of which the preorders were placed, all within a 2 week time frame. So if you were one of the first preorder customers you would get the email sooner than the guy who placed one last week. Also, assuming orders will be fulfilled in the same order as well. Correct me if I’m wrong!
@@throttleblip9854another page reported that they are going to release it with dual rotors. Are they not doing the single side large rotors that they have on the bike now? Also I put my 50 dollar down on 3/1/2023. They took the money out but I never got a confirmation email. Did you experience that?
@@austin2267 I had a '15 to go along with my '12 Sportster but........I only kept the Dyna 2 years because of where the guages were, too low on the tank especially the tac. It also had a tendency to lean hard right when I stopped. Never could figure out what was causing that. Thanks for the offer though.
I understand getting rid of the exhaust and even the Ohlin's too point, but now it looks like we are not getting the large front rotor and they are going to standard duel discs. I have my 1k down for the preorder and really depending on how far away they get from the original will decide if I buy. We are going to need an update soon on the changes and options they are making per the pre order FAQ sheet. Which there is not alot there.
I was also super disappointed to see the move away from the iconic front rotors. I can’t find anyone talking about why, I just hope it’s an option for the final bike I can pick when my name gets pulled from the pile of $1000 depositors.
They are definitely not going away from the single disc, I spoke to them 2 different days in sturgis for a couple hours and they were pretty certain they’re sticking with it
For fuck sake, get rid of those stupid plastic hydraulic reservoirs, they are so ugly and look like such an afterthought. I absolutely love Buell products and this just feels so cheap.
IDK how, but my insurance provider could actually give me an estimate. She said $50mon which is sweet (full coverage). With a good down-payment on the bike it's pretty affordable at the end of the day.
You can but with far less performance. 100HP and very sub par suspension for 20k. You can't do engine or suspension to the same level for 6k much less both. Selling point is this is a real riders bike.
@@throttleblip9854 any 600+cc sport bike would outperform this for 50-75% of the price. The bike should retail at 17-18k if they want to compete with the soft tail lineup. You can’t can make a copy of an existing platform and then sell at the same msrp. I’ve followed this for a while now and the price point is disappointing. For that price, I’m just going to get a low rider st and call it a day.
This one’s for Bill and his design team, with those reservoirs visually in yo’ face why not make a custom tinted Red reservoir??? Aesthetically it would be super-sporty along with a Red mono-shock coil👌🏽
Removing the Ohlins on a 30k bike is a deal breaker for me. This bike should have fully electronic Ohlins. That big ass lump on top of the tank is also annoying, not to mention the ugly ass exhaust. Version 2 is kind of a letdown for that price point. Sorry if I sound like a hater but I was seriously considering purchasing this bike and now I'm bummed out about it.
I’m reaching out to Buell. I was one of the first to put the 50.00. If they put that STUPID Super Cruiser decal on the tank, I will not be sending in a 1000.00 dollar deposit this week. The Pegasus and the Buell name need to be on that bike just like concept and the bikes I’ve seen at Daytona.
I like the perimeter too. The latest rendition is actually very good. I’m wondering if they are simply getting a better deal on a dual front setup They didn’t say why but version 3.0 will be the production bike and we should see it before the deadline for those of us who put down the initial 50.00 deposit(November 12th?). I really want something close to what RSD did for Buell. They deviate too far and I will simply pass.
Really cool bike, but a bit expensive for myself for this style of motorcycle. But it looks to have been built with the dyna bros in mind, maybe it'll bring some much needed competition to the market
When the email comes, I’ll put in the deposit. What ever happened to rallying together for an American company? It’ll be so nice to have some revs and not scrape a cruiser style in every corner. The weight, high performance brakes.. I’m in.
I've been riding for more than 40 years. 30 of those years on dirt, street and track. Tried the Harley thing for roughly 10 years and just couldn't come to grips with the lousy power, brakes, handling and more than anything lack of lean angle. What's the lean angle on this bike?
Love the idea of the bike wanna get one. But the mirrors and clutch and break fluid reservoir look like an eye sore. You’d think for the price those would all be a different design not so much a sport bike style.
This thing looks like a tuned up Honda Rebel. The engine is unfortunately not very presentable as a cruiser engine. And the whole view from the driver seat with the Game Boy Advance Screen and cheap looking brake reservoir and mirrors screams budget. At this point I’d just get an Indian FTR or a KTM 1390 Super Duke.
How many people who would buy/check-out the Super Cruiser would notice some of the 'sexyness/@nal' stuff that was done between 1 & 2? Take care of the big stuff and the little stuff will take care of itself.
Wow, $8,000 put into a presumably run of the mill push rod Harley V-twin. I would think one could get a used REVOLUTION MAX 1250 ENGINE for way less than that. I wouldn't be surprised if the REVOLUTION MAX made more HP bone stock than the $8,000 push rod motor.
The biggest problem with Buel for me is that they seem to make bad engineering/ build and styling decisions. It seems they're a company that just doesn't know how to make a refined bike, but they charge the price of a refined bike,l. That just doesn't work in my opinion. If you want $25,000 for your cruiser as an underdog in the industry (which Buel certainally is) then you should come out with a totally refined bike, which Buell never seems to do... You can't ask a premium price without being a premium company. They just throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks.
How many gallons does the tank hold? I hope it's at least 5. They still need to fix that radiator back to or closer to how it originally was. And I wish they wouldn't have changed to a fatter tire in the back. That just makes the fender look unnaturally wide, like Harleys have had for years now. Slimmer is better. I don't know why they changed the taillight. That Joker machine one looked a whole lot better, along with the license plate location. I was really excited about this bike, but the way that they're changing some things is cheapening it. Some of the changes seem okay. I like how the Road Warrior fairing will fit on it but I thought it would've automatically fit, since the Memphis Shades Gauntlet fairing already does. They just need to find a way for us to put the handguards on. Please do a walk-around of each bike there, next time.
Current tank is 4 gallon and I'm told it will most likely stay there. I like the original radiator design as well but they had some heat issues with that design from what I understand. I think they said it was fine unless you were sitting in traffic. A walk around is a great idea. I should have done that this time. I hope to go visit the factory soon so I'll make that happen for you. All solid feedback.
Still dicking around with design a year plus after launching with a designed prototype?? And AFTER producing some of the parts at scale? If this dude is legit wandering in and making random micro changes all the time, this thing is never coming out.
They need to go back to the original rear fender design size an width an tire size,the new version looks like garbage ,im sorry but it killed the look of the original which i was stoked about, but now ,just blahh
I’d like to see internal wiring on the handlebar controls and black master cylinders. These are things right in front of your view and would notice constantly.
All mirrors are terrible looking haha. I agree though those are getting changed day 1 when I get mine. I've tried the no mirror route and I hated that.
I personally don’t like how it looks, things like the swing arm, the master cylinder reservoir, both the handlebar mounted reservoirs for that matter, the front fork lowers, the wheels. I understand this is just a prototype however it currently looks like just bits and pieces from other bikes just thrown together. Maybe when I see the actual production bike things may come together better. I personally currently still prefer the fit and finish of a Harley over the Buell or anything Indian motorcycles make.
Big HP and light actually makes it great for chill riding. At 85-100mph on the highway it's not even working. Sorta how the Hayabusa are, sure it's a superbike, but it's so overkill that it makes a great touring bike.
plus the great handling makes it a safer bike. Say if you see a corner that's way more aggressive than you thought, you can brake and turn 2-3x than a conventional cruiser.
Seems to be an awesome bike. But, as a Harley man for many, many years, it’s a marriage by now. And like a marriage it’s been good, bad, painful, joyful and filled memories. Out of all HDs I’ve owned in my life, my latest and most beloved (21 FXLRS), I’ve loved the most. The thought of parting with it is just unthinkable at this time. Yeah, I know HD Corporate has their head up inside the rear-end right now with this whole “woke” movement…but it’ll pass and HD will return to its roots…I admire that Super Cruiser Buell and maybe if I win the lottery I’ll give my FXLRS a partner in the garage, but for now, I’m going to weather the storms…
The Super Cruiser is nicer and better quality than anything Harley has ever produced and ever will produce. HD is not going to make better bikes any time soon unless they revamp their entire thought process... which means they will get vastly more expensive. Take a test ride on the Super Cruiser and you will certainly trade your FXLRS in immediately.
Get real, man. Ride what you like. Not what social media is portraying. Sounds like baby boomers just learned a new term “woke” and use it to describe everything they don’t like…which seems to be just about everything nowadays.
I just can’t ride a bike I feel is ugly and that bike doesn’t look good at all. Not only that, but I heard $25k?? I could buy a street glide for that kind of money. If I want a fast bike I can buy an R1 or any naked bike that will smoke that bike without even trying for 1/2 the price.
False... most naked bikes outside of the Streetfighter, Tuono V4 1100 and S1000R won't come close to touching this thing. And a Street Glide isn't in the same category as the Super Cruiser unless you spend $50k+ for a CVO with a 135 crate motor and will still be down on power and performance.
This man needs to expand his vocabulary beyond the words "sexy" and "dialed in."
He did mention 200mm is "a great size." Dude might think about "riding" in a different way.
He's got that 'car-saleman' gift of gab.

That's stock exhaust will be sitting on the shelf as soon as I buy the bike.

Really cool bike, but a bit expensive for myself for this style of motorcycle.
But it looks to have been built with the dyna bros in mind, maybe it'll bring some much needed competition to the market

But can you really Throttle Blip without the ‘Merica bandanna and fingerless gloves like Kaplan America wore? 😂
Was hoping the rear fender would go. Kawasaki Eliminator 900 / VMax style.
Highway pegs, tsport bags would be nice

Very cool bike
Suspension was a bummer. The exhaust looks hideous. I’m sure it’s a fun ride, but the cuts were what made it stand out for me.
Not really. The top 3 suspension companies are all nearly the same really. Ohlins just has a very high premium cost.
Please, please not the bigger fairing, keep the smaller fairing size but have Memphis Shades tweak-it to a custom Buell style.
I've been riding for more than 40 years. 30 of those years on dirt, street and track.
Tried the Harley thing for roughly 10 years and just couldn't come to grips with the lousy power, brakes, handling and more than anything lack of lean angle.
What's the lean angle on this bike?
50 degree
Dude - less yakking and more bike noises! I didn’t hear that bike once in the video!

They need to go back to the original rear fender design size an width an tire size,the new version looks like garbage ,im sorry but it killed the look of the original which i was stoked about, but now ,just blahh
There is nothing to change on this bike except for the stock exhaust. Anyone doing more than that part wise will end up making it worse.
I’d like to see internal wiring on the handlebar controls and black master cylinders. These are things right in front of your view and would notice constantly.

These bikes are for youngsters that like to do dumb s**t, wheelies,burn outs, drifting, etc.
Niche market at best.
This is where the new rider market is headed... along with performance baggers.
@@stuartstogdill2406 Not at that price. A stunt rider can buy 3 or 4 Dynas at auction for that price.
@@stuartstogdill2406 Young riders can"t afford 30 thousand dollar motorcycles
Awesome bike but it won’t last long at 25k.
And yeah/no, I will be getting my deposit back. Too bad. . .
What changed?
@@throttleblip9854 When we talk in person, I'll run it all down for ya.✌😎
Man, those mirrors are terrible looking..
All mirrors are terrible looking haha. I agree though those are getting changed day 1 when I get mine. I've tried the no mirror route and I hated that.
I personally don’t like how it looks, things like the swing arm, the master cylinder reservoir, both the handlebar mounted reservoirs for that matter, the front fork lowers, the wheels.
I understand this is just a prototype however it currently looks like just bits and pieces from other bikes just thrown together.
Maybe when I see the actual production bike things may come together better.
I personally currently still prefer the fit and finish of a Harley over the Buell or anything Indian motorcycles make.
I am 72 so I will pass
You're only as old as you feel and this thing will help you swap those numbers around!
Big HP and light actually makes it great for chill riding. At 85-100mph on the highway it's not even working. Sorta how the Hayabusa are, sure it's a superbike, but it's so overkill that it makes a great touring bike.
plus the great handling makes it a safer bike. Say if you see a corner that's way more aggressive than you thought, you can brake and turn 2-3x than a conventional cruiser.
I turn 70 in Dec. and can’t wait to get mine next year!
Seems to be an awesome bike. But, as a Harley man for many, many years, it’s a marriage by now. And like a marriage it’s been good, bad, painful, joyful and filled memories. Out of all HDs I’ve owned in my life, my latest and most beloved (21 FXLRS), I’ve loved the most. The thought of parting with it is just unthinkable at this time. Yeah, I know HD Corporate has their head up inside the rear-end right now with this whole “woke” movement…but it’ll pass and HD will return to its roots…I admire that Super Cruiser Buell and maybe if I win the lottery I’ll give my FXLRS a partner in the garage, but for now, I’m going to weather the storms…
The Super Cruiser is nicer and better quality than anything Harley has ever produced and ever will produce. HD is not going to make better bikes any time soon unless they revamp their entire thought process... which means they will get vastly more expensive. Take a test ride on the Super Cruiser and you will certainly trade your FXLRS in immediately.
The Buell Super Crusier is your wife's hotter and younger sister who wants you to take her for a spin.
@@stuartstogdill2406 buell is shooting themselves on the foot with that 26k price tag. And that's before taxes, fees, and license.
@@speaktruth247 “Buell shooting themselves in the foot” seems to be a cliche saying that people are parroting. At least come up with something else…
@@leward maybe all those people are just thinking the same thing.
What a goofy 🤪 looking seat…
If the seat is the only thing you don’t care for that’s an easy fix!
Need to hide those reservoirs that are mounted on the bars. They look like urine samples.
Idk. I feel like he just hyping stuff up and he constantly changing stuff. Nah, this bike will never release and he will just pocket the money.
I’m ready to buy a Buell SC & sell my worthless HD!
F wokism bs‼️🤣
You're gonna love it! Did you do a pre-order?
Buell is Harley right?
No it is not.@@YMH420s
Get real, man. Ride what you like. Not what social media is portraying. Sounds like baby boomers just learned a new term “woke” and use it to describe everything they don’t like…which seems to be just about everything nowadays.
@@YMH420sNo, separated years ago.
I just can’t ride a bike I feel is ugly and that bike doesn’t look good at all. Not only that, but I heard $25k?? I could buy a street glide for that kind of money. If I want a fast bike I can buy an R1 or any naked bike that will smoke that bike without even trying for 1/2 the price.
Which is EXACTLY why I have a 2020 z900 parked next to my 2011 dyna street bob.... best of both worlds!!!!
😂
Yeah sounds like this isn’t the bike for you and that’s okay.
False... most naked bikes outside of the Streetfighter, Tuono V4 1100 and S1000R won't come close to touching this thing. And a Street Glide isn't in the same category as the Super Cruiser unless you spend $50k+ for a CVO with a 135 crate motor and will still be down on power and performance.
But he told you it was “sexy” about a dozen times….😂
not like the tank decal and rear fender...
