If Buells didn't exist...

[Dave A]

I'd buy what I can afford like a Triumph Daytona 955i,Vmax, or Ducati Multistrada 1000Ds. I'm lookin at all these as a second bike right now.

 

[cb750]

My list...
Vfr, v-rod, versys, some kind of liter bike

 

[WALLSXB]

If Buells didn't exist , i'd have the $$ to fix up my old Volvos instead of having 2 bike payments . I can honestly say i haven't seen another bike that's made me say " I've got to have that ! " i'm just a huge fan of the XBs.

When I was buying my XB12S I was really close to bying an H-D XR1200 instead. Looking back now, I'm really glad I took the Buell!

 

[levi]

Yep the Buell has more fuel, it's lighter, it has better brakes, better suspension, and nicer wheels.

The XR1200X with sticky tires and a couple other things would be a right proper track bike, but when you can get a 3K sportie and do it up like that Deus Ex machine above, there's no reason to spend HD money on a track bike.

I like the headlight on the XR1200x though, and the ergos are nice for us tall fellers.

Mine wouldnt have been stolen.

But i would probably own a 2006-2004 VFR 800 Or a triumph Daytona or speed triple.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

if Buell's never existed most of these other bike models wouldn't either... ktm, ducati, triuph and some jap crap bikes have all copied Buell in some form...

but i would have:

- KTM Super Duke 990
- Ducati Hypermotard
- Triuph Triton

 

[ervin067]

-Monster S4R
-KTM Super Duke 990

Probably would be a Ducati for sure, but the KTM's are pretty sweet as well

 

[BuellRider3158]

Never cared much for sport bikes until I saw Buell. If I hadn't found them I probably would have never gotten on a sport bike.
-HD Sportster 48
-Indian Scout
-Victory Vegas Jackpot

Definetely an RC8

If not that than a harley panhead[up]

 

[xtremelow]

Definetely an RC8

+1 on the KTM if there was one available. Thing is just mean, to bad they had such a limited run [sad]

Of what one?

There are three RC8's at the ktm dealer here one of them is an RC8R with a full akrapovic exhaust and upgraded valvetrain the other is a special edition and lastly a standard RC8
Several dukes too super and super r

If only the pricetag were where I could snag one

 

[xtremelow]

This one, I thought I read somewhere they only built like 60 and only like 25 made it to the states, mostly to dealers who could use as Showroom models, or just advertise, or sell if they wished.

 

[Balrog]

K1300R - already on my list anyway...

 

[delta one]

nope cant buy that color sceme anymore but you can still buy the RC8R and add the body panels/stickers you need to convert
decals

 

[Banzai]

Triumph Daytona 675.

I have a Daytona 600 and love it.

Totally different bike than a jap bike, and that's why I love my Buell and my Triumph.

NOT made in Japan.

If Buell didn't exist...
I would not had that great possibility to be here (BuellXB.com) speaking to you guys.
And I would not be dreaming about any other bike at all like I do torture myself with that dream about Buell XB.

Speaking about bikes I also like... well...

1-st
WAKAN

WAKAN Track Racer Special

Something makes me think Wakan has copied a Buell

2-nd
Moto Gyzzi_V12x Concept

3-rd
Yamaha BT 1100 Bulldog

 

[tyler]

I went to a dealer in villa park to look at DIANESE LEATHERS 2 PIECE SUIT 1,200.00 Didn't buy them winter time...BUT I DID PUT MONEY DOWN ON A USED RC-8.and he will take my 09 1125r w/300 miles. HOPE MY WIFE WON'T TRADE ME IN...I LOVE MY R BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO TURN INTO A RED PIECE OF LAWN FURNITURE..

 

[misternikko]

Triumph Daytona 675SE.

Been YouTube stalking it for a while.

Local dealer has 1 of the 50 that came state side for 2011.

Its very tempting.

 

[Fionn]

I'm surprised that know one mentioned this yet a Aprilia SXV 550, Who can't go past an insane v-twin motard, but maybe that because I ride an xb12stt
