EBR offer

[snrusnak]

Everything (not just EBRs) is just so damn expensive anymore. I priced a fairly base model ram 1500 quad cab truck and it was $40k. WTF? I love my current truck, but regret deeply not getting 4x4. I can't believe that a new vehicle is half the cost of my first house. If only our salaries inflated at the same rate as the cost of living...

^ [up]...I dread thinking of getting a new truck, but may have to...she's 20 yrs old and every time one thing is fixed, another breaks or stops working.

Sounds like you own a ford.....



This ram is the first chrysler product I've owned (had GM's before, but when shopping for a new colorado quad cab with v8, the full size ram was cheaper) and I'm thoroughly impressed with the ram. Great gas mileage, plenty of power, runs good. Only left me stranded one time I think (dead battery) actually at another buellxb member's house. Luckily he was nice enough to lend me his car to take for the night until I could get a new battery the next morning. I already have 110k miles on my 2010 ram though, they are racking up QUICK.

Ford[up] 4.9L, inline 6, 5 speed w/overdrive...253k+ on the clock and hasn't been rebuilt, original alternator gave out last year which left me at a rest stop about 50 miles outside of Phoenix leaving from SoCal.

Oh there you go, I have an 81 F100 that originally had the inline six. Great engine and good truck. I am not a fan of the later fords (4.6 and 5.4)

in typical board fashion a posting specifically related to EBR motorcycles has morphed into pick-up truck comps....ford triton and modular engine discussions..... chrysler ram window-sticker observations....along with the usual high-mileage bravado. having owned 1 or more GMC/Chevrolet/Dodge/Ford/Toyota trucks i can candidly say that in the world of pick-up trucks you need to know 3 words, and 3 words only: Cummins Turbo Diesel.

Cummins are a good heart to have in your truck. I drive big rigs at work and the Mack, Mercedes, and Cummins are all lovely to drive dependent on the quality of the tranny involved.
I am looking forward to getting the opportunity to the riding an EBR though. I will not be buying a new one.

My now-ex-girlfriend asked me around Christmas of 2013 if I wanted to have kids in 2014, we had dated for 5 years. I said, "Na, I want a new motorcycle." Bought an RX March 2014 . . Got a new girlfriend now, too. haha

 

[thrstrmech]

I'm sure most have already seen the new EBR offer running 'til the end of March, either on the forum, fb, or EBR's website...so no need to update the thread.

...however, think we're due for an oil or tire or something else that's been beating into the ground subject...for the sake of all the recent newbs to Buell motorcycles, and let's not forget to add a smart ass remark here and there either. For the record, I'm a proud alumni of the Smart Ass University

not a fan of Dodge trucks as well, or Chevy, or Toyota, ...

Got a new girlfriend now, too. haha

I've got one too, just forgot to pick one that could PAY FOR THE NEW BIKE. lol

Do the new EBR's run the same tire pressures as the XB's did?
