How old are you? I'm talking the first generation Buells with the ooooolllldddd Harley motor. Like '95 or so. They handled well but whew between the shake,noise and sloooooowwwww revving motor,well it wasn't my cup of tea. Heck,I completely one with my '88 V-Max before I got rid of it. (Man,I miss that bike...)

Numbers from Motorcyclist mag on '97 M2/S3 I believe that was when they put in the "new" "better" Harley motor;
M2 Cyclone ('97) 69.6 @ 5500 71.7 @ 4250 12.25 @ 106.1
S3T Thunderbolt ('97) 76.9 @ 5750 72.8 @ 5000 12.45 @ 107.3

I don't have the specs for the S1...trust me,it was bad. Like 14 sec 1/4s or something...

Anyway,a used S1 would be an ok newbie bike imo.
