    Some funny stunts

    Well, the first one is just completely random, and the 2nd one is quite amazing in their choice of stunt-bike...

    Amazing Harley Bike Jump in Myrtle Beach

    Buell Stuntbikes... surprisingly good

    The stand up twelves are very cool on the sporty! But I bet, if Harley weren't supplying the bikes, they wouldn't be the first choice of the riders.

    What is amazing about using a Buell for stunting?? They've got loads of torque, short wheel base and minimal bodywork.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    That's exactly it... I've been into bikes for over a year, and it's the first time I've seen a video with someone using a Buell for a stuntbike...

    The Buell is still not ideal for this kind of carry on IMO, I wheelie quite a bit, and smooth power is the key, response, and predictability are essential, and the power curve on a Buell is not broad enough. Before someone jumps down my throat, yeah, they wheelie real well, real high and all that, but the time I spent doin them on an XB9R, was far less than smooth, compared to an inline.

    That is actually something I was considering while writing that post... I guess the fact that while IL4's have to get a real good clutching to put them up in the air at low speeds, and since Buells have that oomph right from the word go, I partially forgot about the whole running out of revs thing...

    Would not bet against there being some serious weight in those paniers and top box. Looks a little too effortless.

    That's what 60 odd bhp gets you out of a 1400cc engine... a lot of torque.
