The Buell SuperTouring sport-tourer will begin production this fall, with pre-orders coming available on July 1. According to Buell, the SuperTouring is designed to offer thrilling performance along with comfort for touring solo or two-up.
More details will be announced closer to production. So far, we know the SuperTouring will offer a claimed 185 hp and 102 lb-ft of torque and have a wet weight of 439 lb. It’ll include Buell’s Fuel in Frame design as well.
Also included are dual-disc Brembo front brakes with EBC rotors, Fox suspension and a steering stabilizer, and a custom Saddlemen seat designed for two-up riding. The bodywork will be made of carbon fiber, the tires will be Dunlop Sportmax Q5As, and the Buell footpegs are redesigned for better grip and are placed to allow good legroom without compromising cornering clearance.
“We are beyond excited to release the Buell SuperTouring shortly ahead of the Super Cruiser,” said Bill Melvin, Buell Motorcycle Co. owner and CEO. “It is a big year for Buell; we are back and excited to see our team’s hard work and dedication come to fruition.”
Customization options will include a secondary exhaust and 36-liter saddlebags for $1,500, cut tips with the bags for $2,000, and a quickshifter for $495.
MSRP for the Buell SuperTouring is $23,995, and Buell is offering an exclusive early-bird discount for customers who wish to pre-order the bike. Running from July 1 to Aug. 31, pre-order deposits are $1,000 and grant the customer a discount pricing of $22,495. Starting Sept. 1, orders will be open to the general public at MSRP. Buell says pre-orders will be fulfilled first once production starts, and the SuperTouring will be available in the U.S. and Canada to start, with plans to extend to other markets in the future.

No ABS or cruise control and probably very little rider aids in general on a 23k touring bike good luck with that
Honestly while both of those exclusions bother me they’re eclipsed by the optional quickshifter for $495.
I believe they have to have ABS to sell bikes in Europe. Am I wrong. As for c,control save some $$$ and buy a good throttle lock system. The one I have works great and its a simple system, easy to set on and off.
What brand is your throttle lock?

To be fair, this article does not say that cruise control and ABS are not standard or optional. Those features aren’t mentioned one way or the other. And the Super Touring page on the Buell website has even LESS information than this article. This article is clearly not listing all the standard equipment nor all the options. It may be that cruise and ABS are not available, but you can’t tell from this article or the Buell web site.
I don’t see anything other then the increase in power to make me retire my Buell Ulysses XT
Bikini windshield. 435 lbs, what about it makes it a sport touring bike?
The small windshield and the 435 pound weight make it a sport touring bike. And the bags. Standard touring bikes weigh 800 pounds +/-, have big windshields, and 90 to 115 HP. How much more than 185 HP is a sport touring bike supposed to have exactly?
I think I’ll stick with my Moto Guzzi V100S! Especially since American manufacturers just don’t seem to understand what a sports touring motorcycle is supposed to be.
Nobody other than Buell employees have ridden this motorcycle yet, but you are so astute, you KNOW without touching it or riding it that it won’t be what a sports touring motorcycle is supposed to be (according to whatever YOUR definition of sports touring is). And you KNOW it won’t be a sports touring bike because it’s (rim shot) American. Even though it’s the company that builds the least-American-esque motorcycles of any American brand. And you’re going to “keep” your $10,000 cheaper, 70 HP less powerful, and 80 pound heavier, Guzzi. It must be tiring as hell to deal with yourself. Can’t even read an article about a “coming in 6 months or so” new motorcycle without pronouncing it a failure. Come on. I have no idea if this will be a great motorcycle or not from reading a “1 page” new product blurb and neither do you.
Where’s the funky outer perimeter disk brake??
This is gonna be a tough start up. This train won’t go far before it wrecks, but, good luck.
I’ll keep my 2003 super comfortable ” Road King with a tour pack. It’s sporty enough for me.
So you read an article about a new sport touring bike with 185 HP and you think a good comment for such an article is “I’ll keep my 850 pound, 88 HP, 22-year-old Harley”? Nobody cares, not even me. (this is being written by the owner of a 24 year old, 850 pound, 86 HP Harley RK Classic, with Tour Pak) I read the article to see what Buell was building these days since I’ve read little about what Buell has been up to in the last few years. I’m not interested in this bike as a customer, just curious.
Anybody that gives Eric Buell a dime is an idiot….
Needs better wind protection for torso and hands.
Then the posers would claim it’s not a sport touring bike.
I’m not “sport touring” individual, but I like this. It’s certainly a step up from the spare-parts Dyna thing they are currently producing. Nothing will replace the S1 though. My one that got away. I think that is the greatest bike to come out of the USA. Badweather Bikers were certainly a unique group of individuals too … I wonder if they are still around or moved in to BMWs?
