About this model

About the Buell M2 Cyclone

The Buell M2 Cyclone is an American naked sportbike produced from 1997 to 2002. It is powered by a air-cooled 1203cc V-twin (Harley-Davidson Thunderstorm) that delivers its torque low in the rev range. Buell positioned it as a more accessible and affordable alternative to the XL1 Lightning, with a more upright riding position and slightly lower output. The engine is used as a structural frame element, a signature Buell design trait.

The M2 targets riders seeking an unconventional American alternative to Japanese naked bikes of the era. The low seat height and broad torque spread make it manageable, though the weight and modest braking performance suit experienced riders best. It competes with models like the Kawasaki Zephyr and Honda CB1000 but stands apart through its character and origin story.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the primary chain for wear and correct tension; replacement is labour-intensive.

  • Inspect for oil seepage around cylinder head bolt joints, a known issue on older examples.

  • Check the Showa front fork for leaking stanchions; rebuild kits are still available but scarce.

  • Examine frame welds around the engine for cracks; the engine is a stressed member and vibration accelerates fatigue.

  • Check the Uniplanar exhaust for rust-through; original units are difficult to source.
