About this model
About the Buell S2 Thunderbolt
The Buell S2 Thunderbolt is an air-cooled 1203 cc V-twin sport-tourer produced by Buell from 1994 to 1996. The motorcycle combines a Harley-Davidson Evolution engine block with a Buell-designed aluminium frame and an aerodynamic fairing. With 91 hp, the S2 delivered a sporty, distinctively American riding experience that set it apart from the dominant Japanese sportbikes of the era.
The Buell S2 is aimed at collectors and enthusiasts of American motorcycle history. It is not suitable for beginners due to the high torque and the limited technology by current sportbike standards. It handles well on winding roads; the fairing provides a useful wind buffer on longer runs. Comparable models include the Harley-Davidson XR1200 and the Ducati 916.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the Evolution engine for oil leaks at the rocker covers and primary chain housing; the Harley-Davidson engine block is structurally prone to seepage.
- Inspect the primary chain tension and belt drive for wear; the Kevlar belt requires regular inspection.
- Check the Marelli injection or carburettor for correct mixture settings; early Buell models are sensitive to mixture calibration.
- Look for wear in the Uniplanar engine mounting system; the rubber isolation mounts harden over the years and reduce vibration isolation.
- Check the Nissin brakes for pad and disc wear; replacement is straightforward but genuine Buell parts are scarce.
