[. . . ] mad es us mak But if a bike's weight is all up-top, you've got to fight to keep it there. After seeing how poorly a recently-fuelled race bike handled at Daytona, Erik figured that putting the fuel down in the frame and moving the bulk of the weight (including the compact exhaust) beneath the engine to lower the centre of gravity, was much more logical. He found he could also improve the ride by building his bikes lighter. Erik then managed to reduce the `unsprung TM weight' by fitting ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) disc brakes to evenly distribute braking forces through the wheel's rim and not the spokes. [. . . ] U. S.

Buell is simply 200 highly-skilled people pouring their hearts and souls into building motorcycles by hand in East Troy, Wisconsin. There is no automated assembly line; we move the bikes from workstation to workstation by pushcart. And that's purely to make the coffee.
