didnt last long mate, did you find that Buell you were after

I did end up with another Uly. The Honda is a cool bike and handles really nice, But... I cant consider taking the other half at all as the R is obviously only set for the rider. I knew this when I picked up the Honda and didn't think it would be a problem and then murphy presented me with a dilemma , a mint 09 Uly came up and I couldn't resist. The seduction of that crazy paint shakin 1200 just drew me back. The Uly is an addiction that was in the end too hard to kick. I Plan to be keeping the 12X for a very long time this round. So thats it really I dont ride enough as it is and having 3 road registered bikes is just too much hassle these days. I have an older TT350 thats also in limbo, need to spend a few dollars on that too. Should get off the net and into the shed.
As usual I spent a few dollars on overdue maintenance on the Honda straight up, but if you like good gear thats what happens. Im sure your all used to that scenario.
Does anyone know the guy who put the Buell into the tree Hawkes Bay way a few months back and did he pull through ??
Also looking for a better sounding exhaust for the XB and a spare drive belt. Anyone?
Cheers

Nah, get rid of the Buell and do the TT350 up.

TT350 envy...

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on issues I should keep an eye out for. I'm going to view it this weekend hopefully. Any and all help appreciated

I was lucky and brought mine from a guy who had fully rebuilt the engine and suspension, but as a big thumper you want to look at the usual areas, piston slap, conrod noise etc. I would personally stay away from something that doesn't look as if it has been well maintained. The 650 wants it's tappets done every 1000k for example. Found this just now, there's others too...
