Hardcore Buell Biker
I have heard everything from "why ride something with a rubber band" to "buell's are HD's cheap crap- knock off brand"...
Have heard that they are plagued with fuel injection problems and costing a pretty penny to convert them to a chain drive instead of the belt driven style they come out with...
Have also heard they are severely under powered for what they are advertise at...
Was looking at one on the weekend and was just wondering what your take was...

They look to me like that nice harley motor in frame that handles and with brakes that work.Originally Posted by Drogen Omen
But I'm not convinced by the oil-in-swingarm, the fuel-in-frame, the rim mounted disks and the car exhaust.
Guess I'm just a luddite...

Go ride one.
I very nearly bought one instead of my present ride, but couldn't come up with the extra money required.
At real world speeds (40 -140kph) they are fantastic, handle brilliantly, and are very rewarding and entertaining to ride.

Wow, you really are at the "Got a decent budget, but have no idea what I want for a first big bike" stage, aren't you?
Gotta love it.
Have fun choosing!

its not like Erik Buell did all that for a lark, he can justify all of those on engineering grounds. And look where the zorsts are on the current crop of preformance sprotbikes...... looks like Erik spoke and Japan listenend....

i'm motarded
i went to buy a new XB12s the other week, and found out harley dont bring them into NZ new anymore, they only bring in the XB12ss which is the long wheelbase model

Go and take one for a ride.
Personally I'm not convinced that the XBs make a lot of sense.
The new 1125 might be interesting, but they seem to have been delayed a bit.

I would cut out and swap my left testie for one.
I know a couple of people with em, seems to suit them perfectly.
No need for naked bints in this pic, Shes pure sex.
One hell of a ride.
Most fun, best cornering production bike there is.
it all works brilliantly.
My advice is to heed no comments till you have ridden a properly set up one for a decent distance.
no pussy
what he said!
i have an XB12X Ulysses and it's the most fun, easy to ride and competent bike i've ever owned. If you're over 6 foot - try a ulysses as well - never seen a bike so well suited to a tall rider.

I am Jack's complete lack of remorse .
Come warm yourself by the fire
dont even test ride it
Just buy it
Bad comments on these bikes only come from those that have not ridden one.
And before you ask - no i dont have one. But its on the list of "to-dos" in next 10 to own one.
As a real world no "wank/wank" bike - its perfect.

Probably the best value for money fun machine there is if you like semi-legal thuggery. Don't make the mistake of comparing spec's to anything else, they're so different it's irrelevant, just ride everything you can get your hands on first. And then go buy an XB12.I have heard everything from "why ride something with a rubber band" to "buell's are HD's cheap crap- knock off brand"...

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
One hell of a ride.
Guess no more.
The muffler rusts. Only thing not better than conventional.
May be depending on your riding style for the brakes - for my reasonably extreme treatment - best there is. No wheel flex.

The alloy race kit ones don't.

Slightly off topic, but DAMN IT THE BUEL BLAST UGLY. I saw one in the flesh and it looks like a chubby POS. 500 single (i think) and so fat and plain and looks like a kitset gone wrong.
iirc, the lightning got ranked #2 overall in terms of flickablity, only being beaten by an rs250.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
