Buell engines were designed to be street-friendly both in fuel efficiency (up to 70 mpg ‑US or 3.4 L/100 km or 84 mpg ‑imp with the Blast), and in torque (the 1,203 cc version produces 110 N⋅m or 81 lbf⋅ft). They are also simple and easy to maintain.
The company manufactures extraordinarily large displacement motorcycles and motorized tricycles with 376 to 496 cu in (6,160 to 8,130 cm 3) Chevrolet V8 engines, and semi-automatic transmissions. [1] [2] By the mid-1990s, Boss Hoss was selling 300 vehicles per year. [3] As of 2006, Boss Hoss has sold over 4,000 vehicles. [4]
Erik Buell Racing's first efforts were directed toward production of complete, race-only motorcycles and parts based on the Buell 1125R production model, under license from Harley-Davidson, [4] to support privateer racers. On July 1, 2013, Hero MotoCorp, a motorcycle manufacturer based in India, acquired 49.2% stake in the company for $25 ...
In 1989, Buell introduced the RS1200 model, a two-seat version of the RR1200 marketed to riders who demanded both world-class performance and desired passenger capacity. 105 of these models were produced through 1990. In 1991, Buell incorporated a five-speed transmission mated to the 1203 cc engine. Buell responded to Harley's revised engine ...
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
1999 Buell M2 Cyclone 1203cc sportster motor. Buell started with water-cooled two-stroke square-fours and ended with a water cooled four-stroke V-Twin, but the vast majority of their bikes used reworked 883 and 1200 Sportster engines. With Buell-designed heads, barrels, and in 1999 fuel injection, these all led to an increase in horsepower.
A current theory as to why the Harley-Davidson cruiser motorcycles are apparently susceptible to this anomaly is the effects of the rubber-mounted engines. In the design of a motorcycle frame, the engineer/designer takes into account the rigidity added to the frame by a solidly bolted engine.
The engine produces 20 horsepower at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm and is paired to a five-speed constant mesh transmission. The bike has a power-to-weight ratio of 105.75 hp/tonne. The engine design also includes a balancer shaft to repress the vibrations. [3] The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has a fuel consumption of around 35 km/l.
