- A year ago I was able to interview CEO if Buell Motorcycles, Bill Melvin. We showed a prototype of the Super Cruiser built by Roland Sands of Roland Sands Designs. In this video I was finally able to ride the bike and see if it lives up to the hype!

@@user-el8cd1qj6m I work for Buell in Grand Rapids assembling our engines and motorcycles. Always love seeing our stuff out on social media!
I'm amazed at the amount of people who ripped these for the price. Consider you get what's essentially a brand new FXR with top notch suspension and then not only 180hp, but RELIABLE 180hp. How much would it realistically cost to make any Harley engine 180hp and reliable with a warranty? A clean FXR thats 30 years old sells for 10-15k, then 2-3k in suspension, another 2k in brakes and a 180hp harley engine that starts every time you turn the key with no major issues is gonna run you I'm just guessing another 10-15k (im a new dyna owner, new to the harley scene but S&S sells 120hp crate engines for 8-10k). If you were to try to emulate this with an FXR, youd spend probably close to $40,000 on the build.
Then the cherry on the sundae is that its AMERICAN MADE. Buell absolutely knocked this one out of the park. Bravo for sure.
Spot on. And you can’t really finance a ground up build like you can do on a new bike purchase.
But this has rearsets like a sport bike. It isn't a cruiser and won't feel like a pumped up harley. It will feel more like a 1290 super duke
@@mycobrahatesyou🤣
You're using a company that's been ripping its customers off for decades, as a standard for pricing. Over priced, under reliable and money grab though customization. HD is a gimmick, an image, a culture...and it's a dying culture. It's no secret HD is struggling to attract the younger generations. And hate to tell you, but the world has changed and is still in the midst of change..and the "made in America" thing is not a thing anymore. Before you attack me, don't shoot the messenger. This isn't an opinion, it's just what's happenning.
Even more American made than Harley. They have a German guy running the joint I think and they outsources our labor to India. Buel is more American than Harley!
I hope I see these all over the streets.
This is a cruiser that you can call a muscle bike
The old camera wasn't on let me ride it again.. love it
We all as riders benefit by more competition in the market!
Congratulations to Buell on making a game-changing bike! Thanks to the Throttle Blip channel for producing this video!!!
I don’t get all the hate it was getting on instagram. I think it’s really close to that concept bike and is really a sharp looking bike.
Seriously is closer then i even thought possible
I think a lot of the hate comes from the lack of communication coming out of Buell honestly. After several years of teasing, they still don't have a price or a date available for sale yet. It's not necessarily the bike they are hating on, it's all the speculation on what it is actually going to end up, or when it will actually be available for sale. Personally I've been looking at videos of this bike for several years now and still have no new information that they weren't teasing three years ago. It is a big relief to see two bikes standing side by side though.
Idk why y'all are so excited these bikes look so incomplete.. they literally just slapped a dyna fairing and a sport bike rear end and called it a day 😂
@danielservin2450 pretty sure thats a Memphis shades fairing and whats not complete on it? Looks ready to me.
It's Harley Davidson employees trying to get a little job security.
Great take on it bro! They need to hire you for their PR team 😅😂 bike looks absolutely beautiful.
Make a short video to get your take on it
Good video! Hoping for success for the team and company.
I was definately a skeptic but finally seein the end game i'm in love. Can't wait!
Hoping this really comes to fruition. Stoked
Nice video, congrats on getting to ride it good luck with future.
I’ve been watching the website with the concept and I’m super excited to see this is the direction. I definitely want one.
This is awesome and I have no idea why Harley didn't listen when they released the new sportster. I've always wanted them to just make an old dyna style frame with the new Revo motor without all the futuristic styling. Buell definitely hit it out of the park with this one and I would love to own one in the future.
The Harley Sportster goes for like $16k 😂😂😂
It ain't even got dual brakes up front ahahahahaaa. Slap the Harley logo on a fat b and yall would ride her
You can buy an MT10 for less, an RS660 for less.
Buell needs to take over the market, make cool cruisers and pack them full of good tech. All the other guys try to sell their heritage, you dont get what u pay for
OK you changed my mind about this bike. This is great
I put down the pre-order deposit February of last year, and I super impressed with how close they stuck to the original concept. Big question I have is the seat height. Do you know the measurement? Also, I noticed a Boswell's shirt. You from the area? I live in mid TN, and work w/ Bumpus a lot. I think they are going to be a service dealer for Buell. Thanks or the video!
Saw these while I was working Bike Week a few booths away from Buell's setup. They look so good! Can't wait to ride one!
Thanks for this video!
“Phenominal, amazing, a dream, I promise it is everything you wanted, I’ve not ridden it in a corner but it is amazing in a corner. 😂
and that's his honest opinion 😂 promise riding with the CEO did not influence me in any way
Thanks for the review and I always think you make fair and knowledgeable assessments. I can only compare it to my HD LRS, look forward to a demo op for comparison.
Looked them over a few days ago, pretty impressive.
Looks awesome! Happy to see Buell is back!
Hope that they come to Canada??
which - buell is the question; Many do not realize EBR, Eric Buell racing never left… But Harley Davidson will not let him use his own name
@@Roberta_Esposito Also Eric Buell isn't part of Buell anymore.
I’ve been enamored with the Buell super cruiser since the 1st time I seen it. I’ve owned a couple Buells in the past and loved them. Out of the box it seems to be everything I dreamed a performance cruiser could be. If they can keep the price where they claim it’ll be there’s no way I could get my current Dyna or old FXR to perform like that for that price.
Right up my alley. I wonder how long the wait it after placing the order.
Definitely cool bike, cant imagine ill be ordering one as I bought my LRST before they first announced the super cruiser. Hopefully they will have mid controls for it though.
Race exhuast sounds pretty decent as well
I had a 2001 S3T. It was a fun touring bike, and very dependable.
I had one as well, 100,000 miles on that old girl
This is game changing. The fact this bike makes comparable horsepower with liter sport bikes with twice the amount of torque is absolutely ground breaking. Not only will this completely smoke ANY cruiser offered from Harley and Indian from the dealer, it just might put them out of business as no one will want anything other than this. Also, it will bring the crowd that goes to liter bikes over to cruisers, as their main complaint is that cruisers are too slow. I own a Harley and I am so excited for this very much needed leap in innovation.
I'm definitely curious to see how it compares to the liter bikes, I currently have a chipped 2024 Gixxer 1000 and I'm looking forward to lining up with one of these.
Nah, harley riders are a different breed, it won't put them out of business. But sportbike guys like me who love the look of harleys but hate that they're fat overpriced anemic pigs are the target audience I feel. That and Dyna bro's
Can't wait to see one of these in person, definitely hoping it's the best handling cruiser out there. Although I'd like to see some videos of someone ripping it on some twisty back roads and the cornering clearance, etc.
I like this, its like a resurrection of the VMAX, the current triumph rocket doesn't have any style cues to American cruisers and honda doesn't make the valkyrie anymore. This is thing is somewhere directly in between American and European cruisers, and i love that.
Not really, this bike is 200 pounds lighter than the VMAX, and it didn’t handle worth a damn.
Bet there is gona be a lot of Loweriders & ST’s for sale when this thing is released. Bike looks fukn RAD! 🤘🏻
The first pipe was so sick I hope you can get it aftermarket, die hard Harley fan and this is the only bike that’s not a Harley that I want so bad really went all out and basing it off the fxr was the best idea ever I love it!
Damn that looks like it rips! I want one, but hopefully it aint out of my budget, and that they’d have a manual shop/how-to videos available for the customers.
looks awesome ,great lines like a predator. i had an FXR and I am happy i have a chance to own the latest greatest tribute to it. im guessing there are probably 5-6000 bikes preordered
That thing is sick!!!! I want one for sure
As a former owner of an S3 T I think It’s funny how they touched on the companies reputation and how important it is. Last time I checked Buell has went out of business several times, not sure I’d want to reference reputation when it comes to Buell.
When was the last time you checked? I ask because Erik Buell was the one who owned the company both time they went under. They are under new ownership and doing well now.
@@throttleblip9854 You could read my comment again and consider the context of it. Then you may understand it or maybe not? 🤔
Nice bike I purchased a 2002 X1 Lightning brand new it had a 1203 fuel injected Harley motor Eric Buell put alot of great ideas at that bike it handled great . I am thinking about a new bike this summer I will keep an eye out for this . Thanks 👍
This looks sick!
Look forward to some video of some more technical riding.
Was the design brief:make it ugly?,100 per cent success 😊
It's like someone took a Honda Rebel engine, Amazon mirrors, Pan America parts (handlebars, display and swingarm) a Dyna tank, and wrapped it with a black shopping cart. Not a fan.
I got on the pre-order list the sec it came out! Still building up and riding the 1203/2007
This is gorgeous!
That lower radiator hose is right on the exhaust… I do like the overall design as it has that Dyna look with super bike power. I’m guessing that’s the slipper clutch whining when he lets off the throttle.
Some coffin style mirrors would look great ! I am waiting too Buell for this bike, and a price to go with it, and available accessories !! If this bike runs and feels like my 1290 KTM Super adv.. I will be ordering one !
Very cool looking bike.
Any word on a quick shifter availability? Hope SC will make the exhaust and RSD will make accessories available.
Can't wait til I get my hands on one
Are you getting any hip discomfort with the peg configuration?. I ride with forwards normally but when I ride mids I get an occasional cramp in my hip. Just curious. Suprcruiser seems awesome. I ride a hopped up sportster so I'm into this style bike for sure
Man those roads in México really look nice for a beautiful bike ride.
The motorcycle looks amazing 🤯
Need to go full LED lighting though boys, the turn sigs look pretty cheesy, however; amazing bike, since HD won't make what we want, let's go Buell!!
HD are having a hard time making bikes that work. Their sales are waaaay down. They're on their way out.
I reaaaaallllyyy want a red one with bronze wheels 😁
It looks like the new Indian line. Love both 🙌
Good video 😊
Best of Both Spirits!🌐🏁🩶
I wish they were offering test rides on those in Daytona during bike week. I would definitely rode one of them.
I see this bike with smalls bags and a fairing on it, it’s what the lower st should’ve been!
VERY NICE BIKE !!! Any chance to get one in France one day ??? I HOPE
They have said they'll be being released in Europe 🤟
I'd take this over my dyna.. Not selling the dyna to buy this but I am definitely getting one.. been a buell fanboy from day one.
This is the dream bike.
Take my money!
Sick bikes! 👏
What happened to Buell? Where can we get their bikes now? I remember their bikes were the first bikes that caught my eyes the first time I started riding motorcycles.
Look awesome, 180 horse is mental, dont like the wheels personally, prefer multispoked but looks a weapon. Big fan of the club style dynas so this just tickles my pickle
Classic Buell eh... underslung exhaust, v twin, perimeter rotor... very cool.
Gorgeous American v-twin. Can we get some spec #’s like weight, hp, tq, fuel tank size?
I love everything about it but the rear fender. It looks like a trailer fender from Tractor Supply.
In my opinion it should have a more modern style aggressive rear fender that matches the muscle of the rest of the bike. I would be all about it then. Please rethink that one🙏🙏🙏🙏
The riding position looks ideal 👍, The concern would be , Will the “New” Version of “Buell” be there for its customers??, or will it turn into just another fly by night attempt at bringing the company back. ?
Will parts be available, warranty concerns, Dealer network ,??, Best of luck, but you’ll have to prove yourselves first. 🇺🇸
Most excellent!
It looks like a UJM riding position mixed with a classic cruiser poistion, tbh, which seems much more comfortable, phenomenally comfortable and good for control too
Buell is back!
Nice work 👍🏻🇦🇺
Cool af. Look at the swing arm on it 👍🏻😎
Looks like they took it off a Pan America. 🤮
Nice I will take 100 of them!!
Comfy with arms straight out like that? Or wishing they were a little lower?
Did you guys just build a modern FXR stunt bike???
The Facebook pages were real about these! I’m about it!
100% buying one
Which dealership is going to sell the Buell brand?
I like the exhaust better on that then some of the concepts.
Awesome!!!
I have a Triumph Rocket 3 GT and i didnt change the exaust beacause of the esthetic of it yeah it doesnt make alot of noise but who need the noise when you have beast of a bike like the Rocket have would sure like to know compare to my bike how this new and awesome looking Buell compare to the Rocket. Great video ride safe mates.
Definitely needs wider bars from what I felt sitting on it. Hopefully you can price it under $15k to make it competitive.
Can’t wait til it’s actually a production bike
Great work.the gold forks set it off perfectly(my opinion)..any chance of a ABS equipped version???? as the aussie govt wont let it be registered without....? Cheers GT
I wonder if there will be hard pannier/bag options?
I sure hope so. I don't love soft bags but would use them if that's the only option.
I'm guessing the powertrain is the same as in my '14 1190 SX and as much fun as they are, touring would not be on the forefront of any thoughts I might have
What are the quirks gonna be?
My 07 ulysses needed TPS resets, intake gaskets, rear wheel bearings, breather can, and connector 77 modification just after 3yrs.
My 98 S3 needed rear shock replacement, ecm replacement, and the Buell tank stickers bubbled off after 5 yrs.
Both bikes have 15k miles on them now.
The bike looks killer. My only complain would be those cheesy break and clutch reservoirs also that red starter button. Hopefully they can offer premium replacement parts. Just nitpicking a little bit.
That's not nitpicking. I have the same complaints and more. It's geared toward both sport bike and Harley Riders. For the latter, I would've thought that they would put Harley styled controls and reservoirs on it. It's already got most everything else Harley styled. They really screwed up the frame, by making short, round fender struts. How can you add stuff to it? It's also not very supportive. I've seen the fender shaking, when people rev it up, sitting. The bottom, front of the fender is a bit short, too. There's a little too much space showing through.
@@RayfordRaySiegelI'm not too familiar with "Harley styled controls and reservoirs" can you point me to a Harley with a radial brake master cylinder so I can see their take on a reservoir?
Now we just need the buell bagger
I like your Boswell’s Hooligan shirt. I have a couple of those myself. Speaking of such, I was suppose to get a shirt from you, but never did. No biggee. Just wondering if that’s off now.
I’m French and I just want to see it coming in Europe ! I love this bike. Just would add a better s’est for duo and bags.
no ABS or Euro5 so chances are zero 🥲
@@svenolav5275 I hate people like you that come with irrefutable facts and breaks people dream... shame on you ;)
I want to like it, I'm a 6 foot rider and I prefer a bigger frame. And I'd have to ask if a bigger motor would be in the books for the future?
Are Harley dealerships in Europe going to start selling Buell motorcycles again next year ?
Do they plan on making the super cruiser available in Europe?
It looks kind of like, what's that bike? You know, American cruiser, perimeter frame, BIG air-cooled V-Twin, chunky rear fender, has a fairing and thinks it's modern but it still rides like you took a sidecar off it... The Indian Chief! That's the one I was thinking of, nothing else
Seriously though, American motorcycles have a style and it doesn't belong exclusively to The Motor Company, remember that Erik Buell designed the FXR. Nor does it mean the bike has to sound like a whoopee cushion and scrape the pegs every time it leans more than 5 degrees. People keep on talking about "Performance Cruisers" and it's either a muscle cruiser with tall shocks that fries your calves at stoplights or a brash roadster like the Ducati Diavel, this is BOTH times two and I NEED IT!
At almost 80 years old... Buell is a rehashed 'Hardly Ableson'... Until they prove otherwise😊... And after they do THAT... Riders will have to be able to afford IT!!!...🤔 I don't know if it's my phone or your audio... The bike sounds horrible😮... I hope the hell it's my phone😊... Thanks for posting... PS it ain't no hooligan bike... Unless you can pull up next to a Cop flip 'em the bird and then disappear😂😂😂... I hope I'm WRONG about All of THIS... Would love to see this thing succeed😊😊😊
Love it, only thing I hate is that low tech info screen. Does not look clear snd it’s kinda dark.
I’d like to see a regular round speedo/tach in it’s place.
Interesting many are saying take my money, but when the time comes they won’t do it.
Those are so badass. Can’t wait till the Buell dune racer comes out . I’ve only ever been interested in dirtbikes untill I found out about these
Buell is Back?????
Does this mean I'll be able to get parts for my 07 XB12Sc again?
Yes it would be nice 👍
I bet this will be nice bike on the track.
