Default Any buell owners here?

I rode a 96 s1 lightning 2 days ago and that was a fun bike. The guy had too much custom on it to justify the price but damn that thing pulled hard.

From my distant memories of riding the vmax, that s1 seemed to have a lot more instant gratification regarding torque, and no real power band, just raw power all the way through.

Honestly though, I think it was too much power for me.
