That's just what happens when you ruthlessly discard their accepted principles in search of a better way. Put fuel in the frame, turn the swingarm into an oil tank, sling the exhaust under the engine to better centralise mass, and all of a sudden your invitation to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' annual golf tournament gets lost in the post. Fortunately Erik doesn't often have to endure their awkward conversation. And he wouldn't have it any other way. 2009 1125CRTM 1984 RW750 NY AN ELL BUELL MOTORCYCLE COMPANY V IVE 79 79 2799 2799 BUELL DRIVE 120 SA AS A EAST OY EAST TROY, WI, U.S.A. 53120 EF RE REF REF A S.A S.A U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A.

After seeing how poorly a recently-fuelled race bike handled at Daytona, Erik figured that putting the fuel down in the frame and moving the bulk of the weight (including the compact exhaust) beneath the engine to lower the centre of gravity, was much more logical. But he didn't stop there. He found he could also improve the ride by building his bikes lighter. So he redesigned most parts to do more than one job. Less components ­ 50% fewer than average ­ means less weight. Erik then managed to reduce the `unsprung TM weight' by fitting ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) disc brakes to evenly distribute braking forces through the wheel's rim and not the spokes. This enabled us to replace the standard thick, heavy spokes with a lightweight option, improving traction and feedback through more effective suspension. So now you know how (and why) we make every Buell motorcycle so much fun to ride. There is more to tell, and you'll find it at www.buell.com.

If you're looking for a new bike so you can meet-up with a freewheeling group of like-minded riders each weekend to keenly appraise each other's machines, Buell® may not be for you. You may love to bask in the warmth of collective admiration, but this will not happen if you buy a Buell motorcycle. No one will really understand why you've done what you've done. In fact, they may be disturbed by it. Fact is, we don't design and build them for acceptance. We design them for the rider. And we design without compromise.
