beside that...off the subject a little...i just spent two years in japan....didnt see a single jap on a gixxer. something fishy, i must say.

 

[devildog3042]

maybe its cuz they know we are the only people stupid enough to buy a bike with a 1 year shelf life...........

One more comment about this, and I am done, its an old subject. If the XBRR is such a great bike, why cant it compete in the liter class? Oh thats right because it doesn't have a prayer! I love my Buell, but when it comes to all out performance, the japs have us smoked! All we can do is speculate untill the 1125r comes out, so until you have some real world numbers or experience on it, keep dreaming.

I hear that the 1/8 times are better for the XB12 than a GSXR 1000. Here are some YouTube videos for anyone that cares to watch. See for yourself who wins. Neither video does much to solve anything, just worth watching.

From the "If Buells didn't exist" post, I would have a GSXR 750 if I couldn't have a Buell.

If you want a bike that catches the eye of a 13 year old girl, get a CBR, Ninja or GSXR. Just don't get caught on MBC's Dateline. If you want a unique, fun to ride motorcycle that other sport bike riders drool over, get a Buell. (That is unless you had a Buell and then traded it for a GSXR)

If I was over 6', I would probably ride a GSXR though.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Buell, bought it to make a chopper out of it, and then changed my mind after riding it for awhile. Today some old fart on a Goldwing kept on my tail for about 14 miles at about 90 mph, and then followed me to the gas station just to see what I was riding. He said it sounded great and had to see what it was. Thats not the kind of attention I wanted, but I guess its better than doing 10 to 20 because she's 15!

because it's an aircooled vtwin...

snow...like i said...

stop compairing aircooled vtwins with 4 cilinder watercooled rev machines!

do they still make suzuki sidekicks, classic--not

 

[badbandit12]

ok I have a few suzukis love them. 04 gsxr750, GSXF1200, gs1100. the GSXR is a great handeling bike on the scales 391lbs. It is faster than my 04 xb12s strait line . But in the mountains I can hand the GSXR its lunch on the xb both have M3's dam sticky tires both have stock suspension. GSXR 56" wheel base XB 52" wheel base you do the math.

today I pulled up to a stoplight next to a gsxr1000 when the light turned green we both gassed it to speed away, of coarse he was faster but I figured I'd give it a shot, after about 100 feet the road started to curve and he lost control and laid the bike down. man was he embarrassed!! he was ok but he is going to need completely new fairings and tore up his fork and front wheel. that just goes to show that in real life a gsxr cant look a Buell in the eyes and survive
[cool]

 

[jackson08]

now thats some funny sh@t,can,t stop laughing

 

[azsnow]

No, all it goes to show is that the guy couldn't ride, nor did he know his skill level and limitations. When a Buell, ANY Buell can beat a GSXR1000 on the track and the street with riders of equal capability, then post something, but untill then, keep dreaming!

 

[jackson08]

thought you had your last comment [down]

 

[azsnow]

Cant help it when comment such as that are posted

 

[jackson08]

you don,t have a clue about that rider, skill level or limitations, i suggest you go buy gsxr1000 and stick it in your ass

 

[azsnow]

And you have no clue about motorcycles, so I suggest you go blow Eric Buell and try and get a free t-shirt or something.

 

[LeFox]

i would suggest that the both of you get on your buell and get some fresh air

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Different bikes are better at different things. Purpose built. Obviously a liter bike is going to beat a V-twin. Doesnt take a genius to figure that out. Compare apples to apples.

Can you really get a free t-shirt if you blow Erik Buell???
Do ya think he'd sign it?
