Just bought myself a Buell XB12Ss

[roadkillnz]

Will be picking up on Monday. It will be quite a change from my road going RMX250
Can't wait!

It'll take some getting used to the increase bike weight, but I'll learn to live with it :violin: :shifty:

Who Know we chould had are own kiwi vtwin production bike with limited production pity whould made great world superbikes machine

There got humle supercare why not britten bike with its carbon frame and front end with of the shelve rotax engine 1000 vtwin nice
Even if bike had alow twin spar be nice looking bike

good stuff man, you'll love it, they are a whole heap of fun, just be careful, you could end up spending your weekends riding the Buell and not the KX:laugh:

Hmmm.
Strange question, but is this Roadkill from CZ? WpK?

[roadkillnz]

CZ WpK, not sure what they stand for, but my first name is Troy if that helps :)

Thanks for the positive comments guys. Can't wait to get out there. Yeah it'll take time away from the KX for sure, but there's always winter where the KX is the best fun :)

I fell in love with the look and sound of the Buell. Then test rode the bike, and it ticked all the remaining boxes for me.

Excellent choice....I would recommend the EBR ECM as I just fitted one with a Barker exhaust to the 1125r..huge difference. Next thing is to join Buell Riders NZ (the NZ Buell owners club)...have a look on Facebook....rally this year is in Waikato...hope to see you there.................

[Brian407]

250 to 1200 is a helluva jump, hope you're ready for it. Not a great fan of muell's, (had one once taht was very unreliable) but it's a good looker. Keep it upright. :niceone:

[roadkillnz]

Cool, how much do the EBR ECM's cost?
Just did a like on the Facebook page. When is the rally?

I hope so too lol.
Though my KX250 makes 56hp at the flywheel if the sales brochures are to believed, vs 103hp. But the kx is heaps lighter (80 or so kg) and doesn't have a throttle, merely an on or off power switch :Punk: . The buell feels quite calm and collected in comparison.

Hopefully my 07 model has all it's things sorted. If the reviews are to be believed, they state the XB family of Buells are reliable when looked after, crossing fingers :)

Good choice I have one of the last XB12SS's made and am real happy that I decided to buy it mine has never missed a beat so Im not sure why the op's bike was unreliable

Enjoy.<O:p

The rally is always the third weekend in November....send a message to Peter the President via facebook.....go to the Erik Buell racing website and have a look. I paid USD305 for mine..some of the best money spent so far on it.

Nice bike! Those things are a torque monster so watch your speed otherwise the :Police: might give you a good :spanking:
They go pretty damn good around corners as well. Have fun and keep it rubber side down ay.

Well I finally sat and passed my full test today. So headed straight home to jump on the Buell.
150km later and loving every minute of it.

Not that I haven't judiciously been enjoying it before getting my full :innocent:

Loving the torque, and the rumble of the engine. All feels quite calm and civilised compared to my two 250 2-strokes. Having the power on tap without needing to shift down a gear is nice!

[Oblivion]

Good on you having fun. Just try to be somewhat sensible. :laugh:

[Mom]

spending your weekends riding the Buell

Good <O:p

Been a while guys :yes:
