I'm in love with a Buell.....

**Krayy** · 11th February 2006, 15:05

After the ride up 16 today, I thought I'd head into town and do some tyre kicking. So I rolled into AMPS and sitting on the plinth in the window is a Red Buell XB12SS. Yummy. It's got red mags as well, and if there is such a thing as sex on wheels, this is it

I highly recommend going in and admiring it, but hands off!! It's mine I tells ya!!

Now if only I can convince the wife :slap:

Hey,

Im trying to locate someone who can help me please. I need to track down a red buell we can borrow, I have a staff member leaving and they would like a ride on the back of one. If any one can help or put me in touch with the right person it would be much appreciated!!!

It's about the same as a fireblade on the firebolt. Sports bike 'standard'.

XB12X is one of the best bikes available for tall folks.

Lightning TT not too bad. Bit of knee ache.

all are poor or even non-existent except for the 12X which co-pilot rates in the highest category.

There is an SS model now and AMPS did have one on display.
The second "S" stands for "shortarse" or similar

My last bike before the 1098 was a buell xb12s. Great bike and wish i had kept it. They have a short wheelbase but i didnt find it cramped at all. Im 5ft10.
Would happily buy another one but next time it would be the R model.
They sound good when wound with the race kit on, much better than the standard Harley noise.
