2006 Blast® Overview

The Buell Blast is a motorcycle any rider will enjoy. This lightweight single inspires confidence in beginners, yet offers enough power and refined agility to satisfy the performance expectations of the most experienced motorcyclist. Easy to own and maintain - and easy on fuel at 68 miles per gallon - the Buell Blast is a fun and economical way to get around town or down the highway.

Built for the Real World
The Blast is powered by a reliable, 492cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 34 horsepower and offers a broad powerband for easy starts and brisk acceleration, and ample power for highway riding. The muffler is located below the engine to promote a low center of gravity and keep the exhaust away from the legs of the rider and passenger.

With a dry weight of just 360 pounds, the Blast is easy for most riders to handle, and when fitted with an optional low-profile seat, the seat height is just 25.5 inches, so just about any rider can reach the ground to balance at a stop. The standard Blast seat height is 27.5 inches. A Showa gas-charged rear shock and 37mm Showa forks feature progressive-rate springs that provide a controlled and comfortable ride. An automatic choke, low-effort brakes and a low-effort, reduced-reach clutch lever are all designed to make the Blast easier to operate.

Easy Economy
The Blast is also designed to be easy to maintain, with self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifters and a Kevlar-reinforced drive belt that never needs lubrication or adjustment. Fuel economy is 68 mpg in city riding, and a 2.8-gallon fuel tank delivers a cruising range of nearly 200 miles. The Blast is built to be durable, with tough Surlyn composite body panels. The color is molded into the Surlyn, so light scratches can simply be buffed out. The 2006 Blast is offered in Battle Blue or Midnight Black.

BUELL INTRODUCES XBRR PRODUCTION RACING MOTORCYCLE
Race-Use-Only Bike Brings Buell Full Circle

EAST TROY, Wis. (January 23, 2006) - Erik Buell and company come full circle with the introduction of the 2007 Buell XBRR, a limited-edition production racing motorcycle designed exclusively for closed course competition. A spiritual successor to Buell's first motorcycle, the 1983 RW750, the XBRR is poised to change the face of privateer racing with a professional-level, race-ready, production-based platform featuring top-shelf racing technology and typical Buell innovation.

"The XBRR combines the current culmination of Buell's leading edge chassis technology and Harley-Davidson's air-cooled V-Twin powertrain development in a platform designed by and developed for dedicated racers," said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company.

For Erik Buell, the XBRR marks a return to his racing roots. As a successful privateer road racer early in his career, Buell eventually built his own race bikes for the AMA's then-premier Formula 1 class. The RW750 was a hand-built race bike, and it became the first official Buell motorcycle. Two were produced before the AMA discontinued the class after 1985. Buell then translated his race-bred design principles into a line of successful street bikes leading up to the current XB platform.

The Buell XBRR features a modified XB Thunderstorm 1339cc (103.6mm bore x 79.4mm stroke) air/oil-cooled V-Twin motor rated at 150-hp (measured at the crankshaft). The engine is fed by a dual-downdraft 62mm throttle-body electronic fuel injection system and a ram-air intake system integrated with a new wind-tunnel developed carbon fiber fairing.

The XBRR is the first production Buell since the 1988-89 RR1200 to feature a full fairing. Its lightweight carbon design integrates ducts for cooling of the engine and oil cooler. The fairing was extensively wind tunnel tested to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag.

The XBRR chassis is the revolutionary XB design with fuel-in-the-frame and oil-in-the-swingarm, modified with a billet axle adjustment system and chain-drive to allow gearing changes for different race tracks. Suspension travel is managed by fully adjustable Ohlins units, with 43mm front forks and a remote-reservoir rear shock.

A new ZTL2 (Zero Torsional Load) eight-piston front caliper grabs a standard XB front rotor providing outstanding braking performance, but with less weight than conventional designs. New XBRR six-spoke magnesium wheels weigh 33 percent less than standard XB wheels.

Instruments include tachometer, indicator lamps for shift, power on and low oil pressure. The XBRR features a unique Buell Racing paint scheme.

Buell XBRR features:

• 1339cc (81.7 cid) Thunderstorm Powertrain:
• 4.080 inch (103.6 mm) bore and 3.125 inch (79.4mm) stroke
• 12.5:1 compression ratio
• Dual 62 mm down-draft fuel-injection throttle bodies
• WAVE-analyzed header and mass-centralized muffler
• 150+ peak engine horsepower at 8000 rpm (per SAE J607)
• 100 ft. lbs. peak engine torque at 6500 rpm (per SAE J607)

Black 6-Spoke Cast Magnesium Racing wheels:
• Front: 3.5 inch (88.9mm) x 17 inch (431.8mm) wheel with 120/70R-17 tire
• Rear: 5.5 inch (139.7mm) x 17 inch (431.8mm) wheel with 190/55R-17 tire
• Buell ZTL2 reversed rotor front brake with eight-piston Nissin caliper
• Ram Air system integrated with full racing fairing
• Carbon fiber bodywork
• 43mm Ohlins adjustable front suspension with inverted forks
• Ohlins fully-adjustable rear suspension with coil-over monoshock with remote reservoir
• 55-degree lean angle (hard contact)
• 30.5-inch (775 mm) seat height
• 21-degree rake and 3.4-inch (86 mm) trail
• Cast-aluminum swingarm with billet axle adjustment system
• Center position wheelbase 52.8 inches (1341 mm)
• Range wheelbase 51.8 - 53.8 inches (1315 mm - 1367 mm)
• Buell Racing paint scheme
•

To accommodate eligibility in a wide variety of racing classes, an engine modification kit will be available to help conform the XBRR to a wide range of class regulations.

Buell will produce 50 XBRR motorcycles with a short initial run in late February and the balance made in April. U.S. MSRP is $30,995.

2006 Buell Lightning® Long XB12Ss Overview

An extended swingarm and increased fork rake give the new Lightning Long a 54-inch wheelbase, two inches longer than the Lightning XB12S. Fork rake is increased from 21 to 22 degrees and trail goes from 3.3 inches to 4.7 inches. The result is a streetfighter with more relaxed handling and expanded ergonomics better suited to taller riders. The tail section is longer and the seat is taller and wider, and offers more room for a passenger. There's also a larger under-seat storage compartment. Larger frame side panels give the Lightning Long a fuel-in-frame capacity of 4.4-gallons. Buell InterActive Exhaust, a valve in the dual-chamber muffler controlled by the ECM that adjusts exhaust flow, gives the Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin engine smooth torque delivery and optimized power. Like all Buell motorcycles, the handling remains quick and responsive. It is offered in Sunset Orange with Sunset Orange wheels, Midnight Black with Translucent Amber wheels, and Thrust Blue with Translucent Amber wheels, all with a Graphite Gray frame.

2006 Buell Lightning® CityX XB9SX Overview

The Lightning CityX XB9SX is an urban brawler, designed to rule the city streets with muscle and attitude. Armed with handlebar deflectors and a headlight grille, the CityX rider grips wide, supermotard-style handlebars while the Skyline seat offers an elevated view of traffic ahead.

New high-impact composite frame pucks protect the frame from minor cosmetic damage. The soft-rubber Buell X Guard helps protect the airbox from tankbag scuffing. The see-through Translucid airbox cover and flyscreen put mechanical details on display, while Villain Black wheels and Midnight Black lower body panels and front fender hide the grime of the city.

2006 Buell Ulysses® XB12X Overview

The Buell Ulysses XB12X is an all-new Adventure Sportbike designed to deliver capable performance on unpaved roads while retaining legendary Buell handling and thrust on pavement. Long-travel suspension, specific tires, an upright seating position and innovative Triple Tail luggage and passenger accommodations make the Buell Ulysses one of the most versatile sport motorcycles available today.

CHASSIS: The Ulysses chassis was designed specifically to work well on paved and unpaved roads. Fork rake is 22 degrees, while the wheelbase is 54 inches, a combination that provides nimble, playful handling and a roomy cockpit for the rider and passenger. As on Buell Lightning and Firebolt models, Ulysses carries fuel in its rigid aluminum frame, while the lightweight aluminum swingarm doubles as the oil reservoir. Fuel capacity is 4.4 gallons. The engine-air intake vent is integrated into the fuel cap cowling, and a left side vent feeds cooling air to the rear cylinder.

ADVENTURE SPORT SUSPENSION: The Buell Ulysses features premium Showa suspension components front and rear. A 43mm Showa inverted fork has adjustable compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload. Front suspension travel is 6.5 inches. A Showa coil-over mono-shock on the rear has a remote, under-seat reservoir and adjustable compression damping and rebound damping. Rear spring pre-load can be adjusted without tools using a control dial located below the left side of the seat. Rear suspension travel is 6.4 inches. Ground clearance is 6.75 inches.

CATEGORY-LEADING POWER AND WEIGHT: The Buell Ulysses has a dry weight of just 425 pounds. Its design centralizes mass and lowers the center of gravity to help the Ulysses feel nimble and responsive on paved and unpaved roads. The air/oil/fan-cooled Buell Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin engine leads this category with 103 peak horsepower and 84 ft. lbs. of torque. The engine features Buell DDFI II fuel injection and Buell InterActive Exhaust for instant throttle response and a broad powerband.

SPECIFIC WHEELS AND TIRES: New Dunlop D616 tires designed specifically for Ulysses feature an open, aggressive tread pattern that performs well on paved and unpaved roads. Front tire size is 120/70R-17. Rear tire size is 180/55R-17. Six-spoke, cast-aluminum wheels feature a durable rim design to handle the unique challenges of adventure-sport riding.

ADVENTURE SPORTBIKE ERGONOMICS: The Buell Ulysses offers the rider a roomy seating position and roomy bar/pegs/seat relationship for outstanding control and all-day comfort. The wide, upright handlebars feature a crossbrace. Alloy footpegs are placed in a neutral position and are wider with an aggressive surface. The wide, comfortable seat features a two-tone, textured surface and is shaped to offer ease of rider movement for sport riding on pavement. Seat height is 33.1 inches.

NEW TRANSMISSION: A new transmission design offers improved shift quality, reduced noise and extended service intervals. This transmission replaces moving/sliding gears with thin steel "dog rings" that slide to effect gear changes, a design commonly used in automotive racing gear boxes. Shifting is quicker because the dog rings have less mass than gears. New helical-cut gears are smoother and quieter than straight-cut gears. The new transmission enables reduced clutch effort. New Formula + Oil extends the service intervals for the primary/transmission lubricant to 10,000 miles. Finally, a durable new Goodyear Hibrex 135-tooth final drive belt with Flexten Plus technology designed specifically for Ulysses requires no scheduled service or replacement.

TWO-PIECE WINDSCREEN: Designed to minimize air turbulence in the rider cockpit area, the Ulysses features a clear windscreen mounted over an opaque flyscreen. The gap between the windscreen and the flyscreen directs a limited amount of air into the cockpit area, effectively reducing turbulent air for a more comfortable ride. The clear windscreen features a quick-release mounting system so it can be easily removed. Additional rider comfort is provided by handlebar-mounted deflectors.

BUELL TRIPLE TAIL: The three-position Buell Triple Tail may be configured as a luggage rack or a passenger backrest. In its first, mass-centralized position, the Triple Tail folds forward over the rear-seat position to become a luggage rack that can be used with integrated tie-down hooks. In its second, vertical position, Triple Tail becomes a flexible passenger backrest with grab rails. In its third position, Triple Tail is a luggage rack extending toward the LED tail lamp and full-coverage rear fender, with the grab rails also available for a passenger.

CONVENIENCE/FUNCTION: In addition to the Triple Trail, the Buell Ulysses features a generous under-seat storage compartment and an integrated helmet lock. A 10 amp/12 volt accessory power outlet is located on the dash, with another placed under the seat. Color-matched side cases and top case will be available for the Ulysses and a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver will be available in Fall 2005.
