Advantages: simple design Disadvantages: a bit tall for some
I test rode a Buell m2 cyclone on a whim, and as a result bought myself the M2 that I am now about to rant about .
I have now had the bike for seven years and only minor faults have come up in 20,000 miles, a small weep of oil from the rear cylinder rocker cover, and the flasher unit gave up the after a jet wash.
The brakes are great and I have never felt any need for improvment there,and Buells are well known for standing on there nose.
The way the bike handles is a real eye opener, it just loves the twisty bits,and it is very easy to drive fast and relaxed.
This is no screaming nutter ! but nor is it a slow coach. You will not be dissapointed with the engine, what I mean is this, air cooled, push rod, self adjusting valves, one carb and long stroke V twin grunt and very good on fuel (55mpg is easy) all very simple and easy to ...

Advantages: Realistic, gritty and entertaining stuff Disadvantages: Kim Basinger!
with his girlfriend in Detroit, but splits with her early in the film and heads back to the trailer his mother lives in on 8 Mile road. His life is a pretty hum-drum existence, working all the shifts he can at the local sheet metal pressing plant, pressing out car panels.
Living back at the trailer park is hard for Jimmy, who has to deal with his mothers alcoholism and also the fact that she's shacked up with an old school 'associate' of Jimmy's, Greg Buell. Greg is also never short of a can of beer, and doesn't work due to a car accident that is due to pay out a hefty sum real soon.
Jimmy's only escape from his life is in his music. He is constantly listening to hip hop and rap on his walkman, always making notes and writing down lyrics of his observations on his hand or scraps of paper. Jimmy has the chance to showcase his talents ...

Advantages: Poseurs delight Disadvantages: slow as a dumper truck
crap
Tyre changing can be a pain as the Sportster has no centre stand and a very narrow cradle frame - very hard to balance the bike and get the wheel off when your stuck on the motorway - I always carry some of that instant repair stuff you can get from halfords
it has come in handy a few times .
Sportsters are slow bikes if you want a pokier one go for the buell
Engines are really simple to work on even the newr Evo models making home maintenance a piece of cake - one thing to watch out for is not to overtighten the oil drain plug as this can crack the crankcase as happened to me - had to strip the motor and get the case welded (the plug is a tapered steel type going into alloy )
Fuel consumption - who cares
but if you want a great pose and a great fun bike with looks to die for the Sporty will do fine id recommend a Sporty to ...
