A bicycle person now needs to explain if it's:

A rubbish bike with Ducati stickers, massively overpriced

A fantastic bike with Ducati stickers, massively overpriced cause you can just buy a not-Ducati one for $5000 less

The name says it all.
FSA drives it home. Their high-end poo poo is ok. Anything that isn't that is just poo poo.
FSA: Faulty Shifting Always
FSA: Find Shimano Alternative
FSA: loving lovely Aluminum


Its a bike that'll probably not get ridden but hung on a wall like art.

Choice excerpts for yall:

Save for one video on Instagram, the machine is virtually non-existent from Buell’s marketing channels.

...a bit rough around the edges, and not what you would expect from a serious player in the motorcycle industry.

Buell’s SuperTouring 1190 looks to our eye like something we would expect from a customer’s garage – despite the assertion that the look is penned by noted designer Joey Ruiter...

The original Ulysses looked better than that 1190. I'm also not sure who it's for. Any diehard Buell fan would follow Erik, not the company name, and it's got nothing on a modern adv or sport tourer to justify the price.

They've always had that agricultural feel, I'm pleased to see them rediscovering their roots while ascending to a higher plane - so much performance you don't even need the bike itself!



Alternatively, someone told them Marquez is the GOAT and they decided they could make one of those for a lot less than thirty million per annum.

Two thoughts - if he'd just dropped a cog and gone for it he could have made that easily, and the manufacturer of that trailer and hitch should be using those pics in their adverts.

Also two thoughts:

1) It’s Florida, so what do you expect

2) they really should be commended for trying to nail what would have been the sickest goldwing jump ever

It's not impossible he's that *other* kind of crazy old man with a bike and thought having to stop and then get back up to speed would ruin his mpg figures.
