== History== | |||
[[File:Buell M2 Cyclone white 2000 front.jpg|thumb|2000 Buell M2 Cyclone]] | |||
The [[Buell]] '''M2 Cyclone''' was produced from 1997 to 2002. It was in the middle of the Buell line up between the fast and light [[Buell S1|S1 Lightning]] and the comfortable but heavier [[Buell S3|S3 Thunderbolt]]. The S1 Lightning being the fastest and lightest of the bunch but offered a very narrow seat due to its minimalist approach for weight saving in this sport bike. The S3 Thunderbolt was a touring bike that offered a bigger wider seat and more comfortable riding position but was also a heavier [[motorcycle]]. The M2 Cyclone filled the gap between the sport and touring models with a bigger seat than the S1 Lightning and lighter and faster than the S3 Thunderbolt. The M2 was only available with the 1,200cc [[engine]] and five-speed transmission. The frame was of the tubular steel type. | |||
