Those vents on the side really makes the name Hammerhead fit this so damn well. What a beast.

Exactly.. I know it's hardly a comparison, but my hot rodded 1989 HD FXRS with an S&S 96 is cable throttle.. it's too old for tech.. no ABS, no rain modes.. nothing fancy. You have to love the relationship with the bike you get when you are not dependent on everything else telling you what you should be feeling.

I always kinda loved the look of the old Buells back in the 00s - they had short wheelbases & were very flickable, wheelied easily, stoppied easily - those who wanted to do stunts tended to get them. Pretty much the only American bike I was really interested in buying. Never really got the Harley vibe, but these were pretty capable bikes at the time & had a number of innovations like the fuel in frame (and iirc engine oil in the swingarm..?) & those mahoosive radial disk hoops.

New motorcycle specs unlocked: swords of turk. Buell hammerhead: Torque - 101.6ft-lbs Hp - 185 @ 10,y00 rpm Swords of turk - 50 YAMS

being a long time rider of Buell xb12s.. I am happy they have found their way back

Been riding for 2+ years here in the UK with zero rider aids. No TC no ABS or 6 axis IMUs and honestly it's fine, personally the raw feel of a bike is way better than anything with rider aids like that, so nice to see a modern bike with older technology keeping it true. And those straight cut gears off the throttle, so sick

I’ve had mine for almost a year and absolutely love it. I got a cheaper model that comes with unpainted carbon fiber bodywork that looks amazing. Very nimble in traffic, tons of power. The microphone didn’t do justice to the sound of that engine. It’s a screamer.

about time someone gives some love to buell. buell rider for years

I'VE BEEN BEGGING THEM TO GET SOMEONE TO REVIEW ONE FOR YEARS 😂😂😂😂

The track I usually go to named Jennings GP and I believe the current track record was made by Nicola Canepa, a former MotoGP rider, on an EBR 1190. I am not sure the submodel nor the mods on that bike but from the record time I can tell, the bike is a beast! I saw good riders on track do 1:20 or even 1:19 and I also saw great riders on KZread do 1:18 low but the record is 1:13 something. Can not believe it!

Absolutely love my 1190! So glad Yam's got to ride one finally.

This is exactly what Buell should have done since the first Hammerheads rolled off the assembly line years ago now! For a boutique brand with basically a non existent advertising budget it’s guys like Yam who are going to get these bikes the brand recognition they so desperately need.

The only way they can grow their company is if they released a budget friendlier model that’s exactly what other luxury sports vehicle companies have done in the past, there is no way the average sport bike rider will drop that much on a bike that’s in the same category as a cbr or s1k

Definitely looks great. I absolutely love the color and the side vents that resemble a shark. It looks absolutely awesome. But I don't think I'd pay that price tag of over $20k considering what the other manufacturers offer for that price. And I'm definitely not a fan of the sound of the V-twin. However, I'm really glad to see that Buell making a come back. I really hope they keep putting out good bikes and maybe one day I'll get to ride one.

Buells' are what turned me onto naked bikes. It's a very different product now tho. That Sorge of Turk is something.

I'm happy to see that Buell is still around. While I didn't like the sound at idle (I agree it seems like the idle speed is set too low), it sounds great under load. The pull on that thing is insane. I was thinking what the hell were they thinking when you said the price, but after seeing it move, it could be worth it to someone that wants an analog experience.

I've still got my 05 XB12R . . . after all these years I finally have to replace the belt. It's been a terrific bike. I still love it!

Yes I was dying for you to review this motorcycle finally 👏👏👏

It's awesome watching you guys cover my bike!! It was great riding the Hammerhead this summer!

1190sx?? I had no idea. I was already excited about this review. Wowzers. Need to check it out.

Great video Yam! I’ve always liked the Buell’s and what they have coming out soon. Can’t wait to see your video of the Buell on the track. 🇺🇸

I started on a small cc thumper with 50hp. It wasn't much but after I tuned it and lightened up the frame a smidge and changed the gears it felt nice. It goes to show a well tuned bike will allways feel better then a bunch of power but not being well tuned. A decent amount of HP with the right amount of torque and a good tune will allways put performe a bike were they just toss power at you.

Been waiting on this! Haven't even watched yet and I'm excited as hell

I inherited a Buell and even though it's a totally different machine from a different time, it seems the vibe is the same. Rides like the torque is infinite and even has the idle that feels like it's always almost about to die

Coolest bike yet in my opinion. Love that pant job. Love the name. Sounds amazing. Great vid!

pretty bike, well done !

I've owned 2 Buells and I sure would love to make it 3. After you start riding V twins everything else kinda sucks for street riding

New bucket list bike!

I bought my '05 Lightning XB12 SCG and added the factory race ECM and pipe and it was the best handling bike I ever owned. My reason for buying was also because it was the only American sport bike out there. It wasn't the fastest bike but, did have a lot of torque and could do a burn out starting from a dead stop in 5th gear. I was glad they went to KTM for more power but, I stopped riding triple digit HP bikes by then, I currently own a vintage RD400 and a new XR150.

I’ve owned Buells for many years. They aren’t always the fastest but they are fun! The massive amount of torque is where this bike shines above the rest.

Good report Yammie.

I had a ‘97 Lightning. Loved it. Fast, torquey, and ate up the twisty canyon roads. The only downside was finding a Harley mechanic that could or would work on it. I hope they got that part worked out.

That whining sound off throttle is awesome.

What a beautiful livery.

Definitely what I need to start on.

I met a guy whom was proud of his beast of a Buell bike. He was revving the engine talking about how powerful what magic it was. It sounded beastly and that was about 7 or 8 years ago roughly. It was a sport bike. Yes I had to ask him about it when I saw that Buell name on the side.

Geometry is crucial, 485mm from top of the lower tree to center axle. Rear sag 25-30mm, front 30mm front for track use.

I want to see your and Brandon’s reaction on the track with it

What a bike. Love it 👍

Yammie noob's diction brings back so many memories 😂

I have always liked the Buells.

The 1125 motor was Erik’s design just manufactured by Rotax in Australia. I am sure it still shares a lot with the 1190.

The entire buell lineup looks extremely solid.

I havent watched the track video yet but rode a Buell on track for 100+ hrs & want to mention an advantage of the radial rotor, when you brake in a corner the bike doesn't want to stand upright...as much.
