The '''Buell M2 Cyclone''' was a v2, [[four-stroke]] naked bike [[motorcycle]] produced between 1997 and 2002. It could reach a top speed of 126 mph (203 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 85.05 ft/lbs (115.3 Nm) @ 4900 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 89.04 HP (66.4 KW) @ 6000 RPM.
 
[[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.
 
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 88.8mm [[bore]] x 96.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1203.0 cubic centimeters. The engine featured a 10.0:1 [[compression ratio]]. 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. The [[final drive]] was via belt. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70-zr17 front [[tire]] and a 170/60-zr17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The M2 Cyclone was fitted with a 4.99 Gallon (18.90 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 434.31 pounds (197.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 55.0 inches (1397 mm) long.
