Nice write up Thumbs Up Practically work opposite a Harley Davidson shop so see them parked outside alot. Maybe I should take one for a test ride too, see what they're like. Good looking bikes too, nice and different.

Its a fucking monster of a bike mate, i normally wouldnt look twice a "naked" bike, but i dunno why i like that one......i just do Thumbs Up

Oh yea salt the reason im polsihing all my aluminium parts.......I borrowed a pressure washer over the winter thinking it would blast off any salt residue and the likes so that when i put my bike away at night the water would ice up and id have a hard time starting it next morning, but in turn the salt wouldnt rot my parts

I was wrong, nealry every aluminium part on my bike has oxidised rather badly and i reckon its the salt because it never had a mark on it before the fucking gritter's came out Evil or Very Mad

Never mind, ordered a polishing kit, i just dont have craig's commitment with wet and dry will post let you all know how easy it was with the kit (hopefully) or ill post saying what a bag of shite dont buy one.

Greta write up mate i think more people should do this with new bikes!! Thumbs Up

Nice bike Thumbs Up. I like Buell's innovative ideas like fuel and oil in the frame, Coloured plastics etc. Does the vibration become intrusive on long rides (the buzzing balls syndrome) Laughing ? How many miles does a full tank of fuel take you?


Don't like the fuel and oil in the frame idea. One small dent in the frame can write the bike off, so I'm told.

Very nice Marjay, should be a great fun bike. I tell you what, if you still fancy a ride on my SV I'd be happy to swap for, ooh, a few months? Wink

Check the pics on the Buell forum for the crash protectors on the frame, subtle and look useful.

There is also a way of making the clutch considerably lighter/better from what I've read, again read/ask on the Buell forums.

Oh, and you should have got an XB12S instead. Laughing

Why?

My bike is prettier, has better wind protection and has the flat bars from the 12S... Smile

Don't think so. Its a road bike.

As far as I am concerned I have already written up the things about the bike vital to me. I don't care about numbers, I care about how the bike makes me feel!

If you want specifications then here you go:
