Thought Id show my little GS500 off to you guys. I just put on the bar end mirrors. First mod. Next is a tail fender chop. And a few other minor things. Im not getting crazy, she runs great as is, and doesnt need all that much to look great. She already looks nice! I love this bike. Next spring Ill be upgrading though. Wish I could keep this one. HMMM maybe I can! We shall see I guess. Till then Im lovin this one!

:coffee

If you enjoy the local HD/Buell dealer A LOT, it's a great choice...you'll get to know him well......if you love a bike that's resale value drops like a lead balloon, bingo....another win.

Just my opinion, but I think they are dogs, and there are just so many great, proven, well engineered, reliable bikes out there, I see no reason to buy a Buell.

ps - You lil GS is nice, mirrors look good.

nice looking bike man,that was my first real bike :rockon and my passion for 2 cyl.bikes are still on after so many years,just grate:)

so,i realy would like to know a bit more what is so bad with buell here in bc???

i have my buell (only 984cc) last year from dealer,have now 31000km on it
did 3x oil change,repl.front pads, low level fuel sensor,1 HL bulb and that`s it.
and of course i wash it 3 times:laughing
hey this thing have bullet prove world war 1 engine technique,it want brake.cevler drive belt live time warranty(no cleaning rim,chain adj.etc.)
i suspect ppl. just riding in city(or most of the time
) and buell doesnt have 2-nd shaft balancer
so crazy vibration @ low rpm what makes problems i think.so if you like city ,hmm, yes i think you should buy something else,but if you like nice twisty roads,or better to say super hyper twisty roads belive me
nothing better than a buell.fantastic performance,very cool bike (wish to have buell back in black forest germany

i think i can say that after more than a 300000 twin bikes km in eu.

good luck
