Nice kills.

On a side note, they don't list dyno type or correction factor, but this is just rough...



Obviously not what anyone would consider a "straight line" machine by any stretch of the imagination.

Lol it's a bike and I couldnt care less what someone on the Internet says. He said he'd wax me so we put it to the test. Not trying to post to say my car is fast. From what I've saw they can run from twelves to elevens from anywhere 108ish to 114. It's a cool *** bike and a friendly run. Just figured I'd post the results

Like said in the other thread, Buell XB 9 and XB12 are sloooooow. They're made for city riding and twisty roads.

I've got an XB9R Firebolt and doesn't even come close to my car. If you wanna race the good Buell, go find ya an 1125R and watch his tail lights get farther and farther away from ya.

I really wasn't trying to say that at all. I actually didn't know anything about this particular bike so I looked up the specs after seeing the thread. They just surprised me is all so I threw them out there. A kill is a kill and if he was talking ****, then it was that much better!

Didn't mean to rain on your parade in any way.

No worries Psm and maroon z you are coming off a bit douche like. I'd prob just wipe your *** out and continue on my way lol

And I'll say it again. I never said it was fast nor my car. He thought no bike could be beaten by a car. So I agreed to race. Nothing more nothing less. It was a fun run with some friendly smack talk

Buells can be built pretty stout once you start modding them.. and as far as twisties go, I wouldnt choose one, as thier center of gravity is a bit high. Takes an experienced rider to tame one.

Good kill either way. I got waxed by a built bagger once. Never saw that coming. LOL.

The 1125's are quick but from the XB9 and 12's there's not much you can do to them and get good power results. They only rev to 8k rpms and it kinda kills ya compared to the Jap bikes that rev to 16k. Not having a 6th gear sucks also. For twisities, they're great. They are a bit heavy but the fuel tank is the frame as well as the oil tank. They did that for balance so they are great for windy roads. I'd say the XB's are great beginners bikes. Easy to ride. Pretty torquey down low so it's easy to get them going without over revving and flipping the bike. Doesn't take an experienced rider for them.

Not talking **** about them. I love Buells and own a Firebolt, but the 1125's are the only fast ones. XB's are not fast at all compared to the other sport bikes. Problem is it's a Harley motor and Harley's are pieces of ****!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't go as far as saying harleys are ****... and most of the world record motorcycles were at one point all harley powered. I have only had experience with the older buells. Those things sucked and were way too top heavy. Hence why they changed them I.

Only the hand built ones are worth anything. Hold their value worse than sporties.

And for what its worth, my 92 fxr has 39000 miles on it, and always starts right up.

Agreed. Nice seeing Eric Buell doing his own thing without the Harley douchebags breathing down his neck making sure he does everything to their standards. Harley could have gotten into the sport bike market if they let him do his thing and produce bikes with the engine he wanted. Unfortunately the CEO wanted to focus on cruisers and dropped Buell. Big mess up by Harley IMO.

The 1190 is pretty sweet. Too bad the base price is 45k dollars but a sweet race bike none the less.

I raced a buell in my bolt on camaro and won by about half a car. It was a fun race and it was even better because the rider was pissed.
