Anybody ever read the reviews for Buells on the MCN website, does not make good reading, some of it is just mis-informed lazy journalism/ lies (take your pick). I have left a review for the M2, but frustratingly it does not differentiate be years/ models. It would be good if others helped to educate the review reading public by leaving a review of their own. Hopefully help pull the Buell name out of the mud on this website.

Nice bike by the way

It's a shame the seller doesn't even realise what model Buell he is selling though ;) ........... just because they fucked up with the V5's for X1's and put S1 on them you'd think the seller would know that they had an X1.

I sent my V5 straight back when I bought Muffin new and had it changed to say it was an X1 ...... thought it would save a lot of confusion if I ever sold it ( didn't realise at that point that you never sell a good Buell ) :D
All i can see is that somebody that didn't realise that they had the wrong model on them would treat it with the same suspicion as buying a Mondeo if the V5 said Focus on it.

Quite an unmolested example. Just an exhaust and some ugly frame sliders. Would say it's worth it. Always been fond of the Millenium.

MCN is full of ill-opinionated snot nosed twats of all ages. Sometimes article discussions can be entertaining, more often than not, it's just playground dipshitness.

All X1's were registered as S1's in order to avoid homologating a new model for Europe :)
