For most superbike manufacturers, engineering the perfect sportbike begins with a focus on the machine. That’s not the case with Buell. For us, it all begins with the rider. Take a look at the Buell® 1125R. Everything on this bike is there to give you more feel, more control and more confidence. It features intuitive handling, an ideal rider environment and a broad, predictable powerband, compliments of the light and compact 1,125 cubic-centimeter liquid-cooled, DOHC V-twin. It’s all there for a reason. And that reason is you.

Ever go touring on a sportbike? Want to? This is the Buell® Ulysses® XB12XT, an adventure sport touring motorcycle designed for riders who refuse to accept the notion that comfort and practicality have to come with sacrifices. Across town or across country, this bike does it all. It combines nimble handling and a perfectly tuned, sport-inspired suspension with a smooth, reliable 1,203 cubic-centimeter air-cooled engine. But it doesn’t end there. We made standard all the things you’d end up spending money on anyway, like side and top cases, heated grips and a tall windscreen. All you need now are more vacation days.

There was a time when the sportbike world was defined by a very narrow, very uniform set of rules. Buell ignored all of it with the creation of the Firebolt® XB12R. It redefines what a frame should be, what a front brake should be and what a sporting engine should be. This is a motorcycle for riders that value the light weight and razor sharp agility of a sportbike, but crave the look, sound and feel of an air-cooled, 45-degree V-twin. Its torque-rich powerplant, intuitive handling and proven reliability make it a potent canyon carver. So much for convention.
