If you’re in Daytona, Florida this weekend, in addition to the usual Bike Week festivities and the Daytona 200 race, you’ll have the chance to be one of the first to see the first new Buell motorcycle after a long time.
This is because Buell Motorcycles is ready for launch Buell SuperTouring 1190 sport-tourer.
Based on the 185hp / 101 lbs • ft 1190cc v-twin engine found in Superbike Buell Hammerhead 1190The American brand is touting the SuperTouring as the fastest produced touring bike on the market.
The specifics do not exist, despite the rendering that Buell shared on his website Tell us a little bit about what we can expect to see in Daytona, at 12:30pm on Saturday, March 5.
Buell SuperTouring 1190 will share a setup similar to that of 1190 SX streetfighteralbeit with a more upright sitting position, frame protection and luggage options.
We expect the engine and chassis to remain unchanged from the other 1190 models, which means extreme power delivery, sporty handling and continued use of the ZTL brake setup. controversial – although the latter would be more suitable for this less-sporty segment of the application.
Touted as the machine of the year 2023, the Buell SuperTouring 1190 will come with a price tag of $21,995 MSRP – which is a valuable change considering the general offerings that the Buell brand has offered prior to this model. .
One might hope that Buell has updated its features and tech packages to be more in line with the times, but that seems like an unlikely assumption given the company’s current state of affairs.
Instead, Buell will have to rely on its name, American manufacturing, and generally straight-forward motorcycles to attract buyers – a trio of factors that have never produced results for the brand in the past. . Buell also faces a meager, if not non-existent, dealer network.
Buell SuperTouring 1190 will be A diamond in the roughor another sign against the return of the brand? Time will answer. This launch will definitely be an interesting one with this cult name.
