Im selling both my XB's

[Enemy Zero]

So I get a text from a friend at work (I'm on vacation until tomorrow) that our other (now disowned) friend did this to his seat over the weekend. It's a 2013 R6. His next plan is to get his frame painted or powdercoated red. Extended swingarms and 300 rear tire here we come.

If only I hadn't made fun of all the others in this thread. Maybe I could have saved him.

 

[Gloomshadow]

yeah hes well on his way to fuckiing up a perfectly good 2013 R6.. Tell him that R6's are totally played out and if its not a AT LEAST 1000cc then its "A girls Bike"... see what his reaction to that is.. ha ha then ask him where hes gonna mount his speakers.

 

[BuddhaBuell]

Zero, tell your buddy (R6) to stop worrying aboot his ugly seat (which looks like someone took chunks off of the Michelin Man and dyed it red) and to spend some time eatin those chicken strips

WARNING: DUE TO THE FACT THAT BUELLS ARE INCOMPETITIVE, A BACKWARDS ABOMBIMATION, AND HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS CHROME THAN OTHER BIKES, YOU MAY SPEW RED BULL ALL OVER YOUR COMPUTER AFTER VIEWING THIS THREAD. BUELLXB.COM ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR BUTTHURT FEELINGS FROM POSTED REPLIES ON SAID THREAD. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY. STAY CLASSY SAN DIEGO.

Some real class acts. As for the bikes here IE the tri busa to each his own. Jap bikes make nice straight line power and some even handle o.k. but love to race in the twistiest.

that's right, if Buells were any good they would still be in business... and they would all be lowered stretched and chromed out like a ************ with big ass chicken strips on the tires like the above R6... Buell engines sucked so bad that they needed 1125cc's just to beat the 600s!

( I just ******* love that one.. squids tend to forget that the 600s were racing against 250 two-strokes at that time so the 600s were "cheating" also. if you wanna use that same reasoning and KTM's were running that exact same 1125 motor that the Buell had! Engine configuration is totally beyond the average squid)

 

[djs2k2]

Erik still is in business, and pretty sure Harley shut them down because of ownership because they were selling just fine. And you just gotta love the torque numbers. And yes 1125 bigger than a 600, but 4 cylinders are also more than 2.

 

[Gloomshadow]

2k2 please refrain from using logic and reason in this thread.. this thread is all about parroting what squids say on other Forums .. ha ha

I also get the feeling that only people in American motorcycle culture really know what the **** were talking about.. you gotta live it to understand it.. ha ha

 

[djs2k2]

Thanks it gets confusing sometimes.[cool]

 

[djs2k2]

I voted you thumbs down till that response then I went back and voted you thumbs up. My brain hurts and my smiley face had a stroke. [smirk]

ha ha NO, this thread is all fun and games. I own TWO BuellXB's.. I love my 12R so much that I bought a 9SX a few years later. Its an excellent machine, the STREET FOCUS of the engine is the best part of the XB. Its a bike that can hang with a full-on 600 racebike in the curves but the toughness of the Thunderstorm on the street will beat out a lot of other motors dollar for dollar. The engine is very similar to the MUCH LOVED Ducati 900SS and the 1000SS motors...even the gearbox feels similar. It always pisses me off to hear about how GREAT the Duc L-twin is and how "primitive" the Thunderstorm motor is...ha ha Id take the Thunderstorm over the SS motor any day of the week just by the cost involved and I think the Thunderstorm is a tougher motor and better under street conditions.

Then I read about XB's in other Forums... the **** those guys say about Buells is ******* hilarious! They have never owned one, never even seen one in person and they repeat the most pussy assed complaints you could ever think of.... "VIBRATION".. that's my favorite complaint. If you cant take the vibration of a XB at idle or at speed, you just don't ******* belong on a motorcycle. XB vibration is ******* SWEET AND DOCILE compared to my old 1988 Ninja 600.. that motorcycle was like sitting on the ******* Electric Chair compared to the XB!! I guess Im just old and bitter now.. I cant believe how many ******* are into motorcycles nowadays just based on the whining bitching and moaning on some of those forums out there.. Its like "OH MY GOD THIS MOTORCYCLE LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE A MACHINE!! I CANT TAKE IT!!" HA HA

 

[ReconLdr]

Just think of all the Sportsters that were never born so our slow and problem riddled bikes could use their motors....

 

[Gloomshadow]

yeah those DAMN SPORTSTER MOTORS... they don't belong on the road!

 

[Gloomshadow]

Evel Knievel would never ride a Buell
Ghost Rider would never ride a Buell
Batman would never ride a Buell
Boba Fett would never ride a Buell
Darth Vader would never ride a Buell

**** it! .. I gotta sell ALL my Buells...

Hell I'm down. I always wanted to be a douchey biker poseur. Leggo.

 

[Enemy Zero]

Yeeeeaaa. It's on.

 

[Gloomshadow]

ha ha "Biker Boyz".. could anyone come up with a lamer, more homo-erotic name for a motorcycle gang that that? Sounds like some kind of gay porn video... "See Biker Boyz its ..Boyz on Bikes.. rated XXX available from Manhole productions"
