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!

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!
because it's an aircooled vtwin...

stop compairing aircooled vtwins with 4 cilinder watercooled rev machines!
 
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]
 
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!
 
i would suggest that the both of you get on your buell and get some fresh air

;)
 
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.
 
I suggest you go blow Eric Buell and try and get a free t-shirt or something

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