• The engine is expected to produce a torque of 138.3 Nm (102 lb-ft).

• It is a sports bike in a cruiser’s body.

• It has minimal body parts to keep the weight on the lower side.

Let’s look at the 2024 Buell Super Cruiser design and build. Being built by Buell and Roland Sands, it ensures a custom bike look. The bodywork is minimal, but it still looks very desirable.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser looks plain and simple, with no extra and fancy parts. You will not even find the chain cover installed on this bike if you look at the pictures released.

Buell has maintained a dark theme on this bike. The front end is slightly taller. It is decently raked out, but not as much as you find on a chopper bike. This is to maintain its sporty style and performance.

A small, smoothly designed nose fairing around the small round LED headlamp. Towards the front, it has a small sports-style fender. Meanwhile, the rear fender looks decently sized and chopped to give a proper view of the rear tire.

In the pictures revealed, no battery cover is shown. However, inside the battery cover, the rear mono-shock is installed right below the seat.

The seat installed on the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser looks like a custom piece. It is a single-piece step-up saddle with less padding for the rider. However, the step-up seat arrangement allows for good lower back support for the rider.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser also features a 17-inch front and rear wheels with star-shaped pattern. This bike also boasts high handlebars thanks to the tall risers installed on it.

Though the bike is in its initial phase, the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser resembles the Arch motorcycles. It is most probably because both of them have a custom touch.

The good thing about the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is that the company hasn’t transformed the cruiser concept. The ergonomics and rider triangle do not seem to be uncomfortable at all. Riding is still comfortable despite being marketed as the most powerful Super Cruiser.

The all-new Buell Super Cruiser is a surprisingly comfortable sports cruiser. Though it has mid-positioned foot controls, the legroom still seems spacious. The seat on this bike makes the rider sit pleasantly in one place. The lower back support helps riders to ride this bike without being unstable.

You can maintain an upright back posture on the Super Cruiser. The handlebars are neither too low nor too high. It ensures an ideal arm position for riders.

Overall, the ergonomics look pretty comfortable, considering it is a sports cruiser built for powerful and quick performance.

Previously, there were many rumors and news regarding this bike's release date and price. Several tests have also been performed that must have resulted in certain changes.

Even Buell’s CEO, Bill Melvin, expected the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser to fall somewhere between $15-20K.

However, things have taken a bit of a turn, and the price and release date have been released again. According to the announcement, the company will start taking orders for the 2025 Buell Super Cruisers from September 12, 2024. However, the date of release is still ambiguous.

According to the company, the Buell Super Cruiser will be released in the fall of 2025. The customers will get their bikes delivered in the fall next year.

What may shock you is the base price of the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser announced recently. It will be available to customers at an MSRP of $25,900.

However, if you pre-order this bike before September 12, 2024, you can get a special discount of $2,000. You will still not be confirmed regarding the delivery date of your bike.

Buell aims to produce 2,000-5,000 units of Buell Super Cruiser in the first year.

The company has taken several smart moves to keep production costs minimal. If you are familiar with other Buell models, you must know about the Buell 1190 SX and the Buell Hammerhead 1190 sports bike. Both these bikes use the same 1,190 cc engine.

The company has decided to use the same 1,190 cc liquid-cooled ET-V2 V-Twin engine in the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser.

Besides the engine, the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser uses several other parts from the Buell 1190 SX. These include:

• 1190 cc engine

• Throttle bodies

• Airbox

• Air Intake

• Front Fender

• Electronics

• Foot controls

• Footpegs

• 17-inch rear wheel

• Braking components: Calipers, Rotors, and master cylinders

• Dashboard

• Switches

• Swingarm mounts

• Front-end: forks, stem, triple clamp, and hardware

If you look at the above list, you will see that Buell has used so many parts from the existing Buell 1190 SX.

The company has hired Rolland Sands to build this masterpiece. The company has chosen the existing Buell rolling kit to decrease manufacturing costs. Meanwhile, the frame for this bike was specially designed by Roland Sands. The challenge was incorporating the sports engine and parts in a cruiser setting.

According to Sands, he has taken inspiration from the Harley-Davidson FXR.

Custom-Built Harley-Davidson FXR

Roland Sands is the creative mind behind this idea of creating a high-performance Super Cruiser. This bike uses top-spec features to ensure its sporty performance.

The frame is specially designed by Sands using chromoly steel. On top of carbon fiber, this bike uses several lightweight elements, like the metal sheet, to construct fenders and gas tanks. The radiator looks different as it is made from aluminum. The focus was to keep the weight on the lower side.

As a result of the huge efforts put in by Buell and Roland Sands, they were able to keep the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser’s weight around 450 lbs. This is something extraordinary for a midsize cruiser.

The aim was not to install a large-displacement engine. Instead, it was to install a powerful midsize engine (1,190 cc) in a lightweight bike. It was done to ensure a high power-to-weight ratio, which Sands has successfully achieved.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is marketed as the most powerful cruiser of all time because it has the highest power-to-weight ratio in the cruiser category.

In the recent 2025 Buell Super Cruiser glimpse, s everal changes were noticed on this bike. If you loved this high-performance cruiser's gold-finished Öhlins front forks look, you will be sad to know it is gone.

However, it is replaced with a custom-built suspension from FOX. It was disclosed through the social media post that Buell Motorcycles has partnered with Fox Factory to prepare high-performance suspension for the Super Cruiser.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser braking system is also among the premium equipment. However, as in the case of suspension, the recent glimpse of the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser shows the conventional floating disc arrangement installed on this bike. Previously, it featured stylish perimeter rotors.

The current images show that the SC-Project exhaust on the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser concept version is also gone. It features the same two-into-one exhaust system on a Buell 1190SX mounted diagonally.

Regarding electronics and technology, the company still hasn’t confirmed what the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser will include. However, the bike shows a similar TFT display as the one installed on the Buell 11900 SX Streetfighter mounted to handlebars.

Despite being an American cruiser, the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is way too powerful to compete with Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycles. It looks like an American cruiser with certain conventional styling elements. However, it is built differently.

Comparing the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser with the most powerful Harley-Davidson performance cruiser, it wins by a great margin. The  H-D Sportster S  is the company's most powerful Harley cruiser. However, it produces only 121 hp of horsepower.

Compared to 175-185 hp of horsepower produced by the Buell Super Cruiser, it is too low. Meanwhile, the Buell Super Cruiser produces only nine lb-ft more torque than the  Sportster S.

Another major difference between the two is their weight. The Sportster S is almost 52 lbs heavier than the Super Cruiser, creating a major difference in the performance.

On the other hand, if we compare the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser with the most powerful Indian motorbike, we only find the  Indian FTR  to be a reasonable competitor. The Indian FTR is more of a standard bike, not an ideal cruiser.

The reason why we are comparing the Super Cruiser with the FTR is because there is no Indian cruiser that produces top-end horsepower. Also, they are quite heavy as well.

Even the  Indian FTR  only produces 120 hp of maximum horsepower and 87 lb-ft of torque.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser’s main competitors will likely be the high-performance Italian or British cruisers. These include the Triumph Rocket 3 and the Ducati Diavel V4.

Performance-wise, the  Triumph Rocket 3  is expected to be the biggest competitor of the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser. The British performance cruiser generates a hefty 179 hp of horsepower, which is extraordinary.

Meanwhile, it also produces a humongous torque figure of 166 lb-ft, which is way bigger than the 102 lb-ft produced by the Buell Super Cruiser.

The Rocket 3 accelerates amazingly thanks to the responsive engine and quick throttle response. However, it is electronically restricted from exceeding a certain speed limit. The engine is mapped to restrict the horsepower and torque delivery above a certain limit.

Watching these bikes in a high-voltage drag race will be a treat. The Buell Super Cruiser may have a substantial disadvantage regarding torque delivery; it is approximately 250 lbs lighter than the Triumph Rocket 3, providing a great advantage.

Specs-wise, the Rocket 3 has the distinction of carrying the largest displacement engine on a production motorcycle. It features a 2,458 cc inline three-cylinder engine, making it super heavy.

We know that the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is powerful and has a high power-to-weight ratio for sports bikes, but we are not sure about the performance figures, particularly the top speed.

The Ducati Diavel V4 is among the most stylish and powerful Italian performance cruisers. It is powered by a sports bike 1,158 cc V4 engine. It is fully loaded with highly advanced tech features, which are more expensive than the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser and the Triumph Rocket 3.

The Diavel V4 produces an exceptional horsepower of 168 hp and a torque of 9 3 lb-ft. However, it has an excellent power-to-weight ratio, weighing 497.6 lbs. Watching the Diavel V4 and Buell Super Cruiser compete in a drag race will also be a treat.

Yes, Buell is an American-made motorcycle company. The Buell motorcycles are manufactured in the Buell production plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.

Buell Motorcycles is owned by EBR Motorcycles, also known as the Eric Buell Racing Motorcycles. It is an American-based motorcycle manufacturer which produces racing and street bikes. This company is based in East Troy, Wisconsin, U.S.

EBR acquired Buell in 2020, and since then, it has been working on new Buell models to return to the competition.

Harley-Davidson had to shut down Buell to focus more on its Harley lineup. The focus was to promote and sell more H-D and to increase the sales figures.

After acquiring Buell, Harley soon realized that Buell didn’t hold the same value as H-D. Also, it will require a huge dealership network to sell well. Therefore, Buell decided to shut down.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser has already made a lot of buzz in the motorcycling industry before its release. It is marketed as the most powerful cruiser ever produced, with an impressive power-to-weight ratio in the cruiser segment.

Buell calls it the Super Cruiser, which has a sports bike engine and performance. It is indeed a sports bike in a cruiser body. This bike’s power-to-weight ratio competes with several high-performance sports bikes.

Cruisers like the Triumph Rocket 3 and the Ducati Diavel V4 produce similar horsepower figures. However, the fact that the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is way lighter than these performance cruisers makes the difference.

The super low weight of the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is what makes this bike more powerful, agile, and quick. All these features and characteristics make the Buell Super Cruiser the most anticipated bike to be released in the fall of 2025.

The 2025 Buell Super Cruiser is a masterpiece created by Buell Motorcycles in collaboration with Roland Sands. The challenge was to put a sports bike engine and equipment in a cruiser setting. Nevertheless, Rolland Sands has done a great job.

We need to see how the 2025 Buell Super Cruiser performs in the market. Will it create a buzz in terms of sales? Will it be special enough to make a difference in the cruiser category? We will need to wait and watch till the fall of 2025.
