New Buell XB owner, I have a question

[jeffgre_6163]

Ok, so after much humming and harrirng, riding the Buell XB 12Ss back to back [Twice] with the triumph speed triple, today I have ordered a 2008 Lightning XB12ss in Cherry Bomb.

My question is this:
I come from a back ground of liter plus Jap bikes including a 2003 R1, Fireblade etc.
After I sold my 2003 R1 I bought a 2003 Cagiva Raptor, powered by the Suzuki TL1000 Vtwin 1000 engine as I wanted something more "relaxed" in its riding position but with good sporting characteristics [I used to race years ago and still enjoy corners far more the straight sections of road]
The Raptor has 108Hp at the rear wheel.
I have always liked the Buells, but untill 6 months ago there was never a dealer in my City.
My Raptor was my first V twin and I got hooked on V twin power after many many years of 4 cylinder power.
I'm over the top end rush, 150 mph speeds.

What I was wondering is if any body actually regreted buying a Buell when they are faced with the reality of dropping 30hp from their previous bike or have they found the power wanting?

I just took a large drop in power, moved from a gsxr750 to a xb9s and have never been happier, a big thing is to make sure the suspension is set up for your weight to buell specs

no regrets here.

my 12 is perfect for what i need it to do. when i need to do it!

besides its not like buell is a dog ... its more like a horse with wings .. a Pegasus if you will.

I LOOOOOVE my XB12S, and I have a VROD and a 750 Shadow in the garage. What I do regret is not getting the Buell sooner!!! I like the other 2 bikes I own, but the Buell is so addicting on the turns.[cool]

I have a GSXR750 and a Buell XB9. The GSXR750 is collecting dust haha
