I have a buddy that's building a Buell, and it looks pretty sharp. He says he's happy to build his first bike since it's a Harley Davidson. I said no it's not, it's a Buell. There are 5 Harley Davidson motorcycle families. Sportster, Dyna, Touring, Soft Tails, and V-Rods. I'm curious how many out there would say it's an HD bike, and what arguments they would pose for or against their opinion.

It's a really nice sport bike frame with a POS harley engine to under power it.

I'm a small feminine and that i own a Heritage Softail classic. This is the bike I used once I began and i was also taught the right way to experience on this bike. It's slash to the ground than a sportster. It is heaver however the weight is reduce and seems more balanced a sportster is taller and slimmer. I was instructed by means of a guy that on a sportster considering it's lighter it will get more "flighty" when you go quick. The Heritage basic does not. The traditional has high-quality measurement saddlebags. I put engine protect bars on it so if I let it fall over it will not do any harm the bike. As far as weight a sportster weighs somewhat over four hundred kilos and a traditional weighs around seven hundred kilos. Each are heavy. The engine shield bars will discontinue it from falling the entire approach over so it isn't rough to get it again up.

Not saying that I would agree or disagree, but HD owned Buell.
It would be like saying a squire guitar is a fender. Or that a Kia is a Hyundai. Not correct, but technically not wrong.

Not an HD, it's a Monkey with a Hog's guts, agile enough but lacks true grit to swing with the Big Boys, hence their demise.
