Ebbs Buell Talk
 

:lol:


damn dude... I need to stop listening to you and Marko and Cutty... i'm seriously looking into the buells now... bastards!

I've only ever heard of one guy who owned one and didn't like it... and he was a douchebag.

I convinced a dude off a firebolt and onto a 08 600rr. He is much happier now. :rockwoot:

He had to have his motor rebuilt twice though, so he wasn't much happy with it.

:lol:

intresting... how old a firebolt?

I'm not looking for anything right now anyways.. I need a couple more years on my bike... but I'm 95% sure the next bike is gonna be a V-Twin... and Buell is rank'n way up there for me at the moment....

05, he had that sucker tuned by some buell specialist down this way. When it ran, it was quick.

Yeah, the 600rr is sure to be much more polished... On all the Buell boards I've been on the Thunderstorm engine seems rock solid... The guy who didn't like his Buell also had some weird electrical thing happen that caused it to burst into flames while he was riding... He was still a douchebag.

If he had it modded up considerably that may be the reason... though I've seen enough turbo'ed XB12's to think it might still be a fluke...

hum... wonder what went wrong?

I hope the 1125R gets some other colors... though the XB12Ss looks fuck'n bad ass in Redhttp://www.buell.com/common/08/stree...ront_angle.jpg

wow trip... my bad... I murdered your Fiddy thread! can you move this Buell talk to another thread? :sorry:

it just doesnt "do it" for me lol

And just think... in some states you could get it titled and registered as a moped!

I like the silver headers... I think I'm going to do that to my bike... The Cherry Bomb color looks pretty good... I've saw a guy get the grey plastics off the City-X and put them on with the red wheels... it was MONEY.

That makes it street legal correct?

I was actually thinking silver wheels for a hot second... I dig the black though...

hummm... :dthumb:

go back to a normal front fork and it's :drool:

:x:

it's work'n for me.... huh...
concept buell

I was at a harley dealership today, and even now being drunk I still cant think of a good reason to own one, although I didn't ask for a testride.

well it's cause your drunk that you can't think straight :wink:

V-Twins FTW!

fuck vtwins...

I4 for life.

until i get a tripple.

:lol: yeah the 675 is :drool: but just don't think I could pull cross state runs continuously on it... from what I hear it's pretty track focused

that girl needs to pick one thing to do with her hair and be doe with it, also needs to be mo' naked. hell aprilia girls ARE naked, they just airbrush tigers on them and send em out to work :drool:

yeah I've never been a fan of the used paintbrush look

Hey ebbs.. you should get a Buell...

My thoughts on the 1125R

-it's different
-it seems to be comfortable to ride
-Austrain engine, AMERICAN made
-specs rival a 1098... for far less money
-lifetime warranty belt (no lube, no adjusting, no need to replace)

Hey Cutty... you should come to INDY

and is it Austrian or Australian?

Austrian.

Made by BRP Rotax, same as the aprilia :dthumb:

ahh ok... the good ol Down under! nice





















yeah.. I know

down under = Australian

:ps: dumbass.

hence the YEAH I KNOW part... jack ass

http://www.smileyfacesigns.com/image...ke+An+Asshole!

yup, but it's just fun to :ps: you. :nee:

thank you.

Thats a good looking bike. I love the Firebolt in that color.

http://buell.com/common/08/sportbike...ront_angle.jpg

love the firebolt in that color, looks alot better then the xb12s

I'll be frank with you...I love the firebolt in any color.

shirley you cant be serious

Damn right.

That's only because the rest of the people that have ridden one decide not to buy one...

:lmao:

Kind of kidding. The Buells are a love them / hate them thing. I suggest doing a test ride. And, they are one of the few manufacturer that will allow test rides... DO IT. Though, I usually wait until they have a give away to do it (they have to bribe most to do it).

Yeah I agree... didn't see the firebolt

I wish they'd take a happy medium between the styling of the firebolt and the 1125R in terms of the front fairing...

i agree. soon as i get some years under my belt thats what i want... :dthumb:

the cherry bomb is sweet...that one caught my eye in the showroom....

but i love the white firebolt.....that sheyit is tight.....

BUELLS RAWK!

...and rattle... and chatter... and jiggle... :lol:

you should like the rumble....think of it as your industrial jumbo jackrabbit that tops out at 130mph

:lol: yeah you'd think a woman and a Buell would be the Iron but champions! 100K in 100 days :lol:

i concur, however....they'd probably slip right off the seat once all the juices start flowing

I'm telling you that fairing is cash money.


They aren't Harleys.

I'll take a jackrabbit that runs on 3 c-cell batteries, not 93 octane, thank you. :lol:

:dvrofl:

yeah...the front fairing isn't as bad as it seems on the 1125r

Maybe the ones we rode were having an identity crisis! :lol:

or maybe you just weren't used to all that power at your fingertips.....

he was talking about the 1125r fairing

they look amazing imo in person!

you don't even notice the 1125's fairing when you are riding it.....

yeah that's what Marko was say'n... I guess I'm just gonna have to go test ride one in September

good luck trying to go back to your current bike after you ride the 1125r

This is truth.

well I'm no where near ready for an 1125r so I'm sure it'll be a huge diffrence :lol:

prolly just suction cup them to the seat... and if they routed the juices properly, viola! instant chain lube

it sounds amazing too, got a guy in my neighborhood has one! :drool:

um coolest buell evar!

http://thekneeslider.com/images/lazarethbuell.jpg

http://thekneeslider.com/images/lazarethbuell2.jpg

Definitely not.

heh, i rock it over anything they actually make anyday lol

about as cool as this
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ll_Chronos.jpg
or this
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...motorcycle.jpg

that first ones ok but the second is barfomatical

I'll be honest... I think that kicks major ass.

That shit is WHACK! If you want to get faster, Ebbs, don't buy a Buell. If you have any intention of doing track days, don't buy a Buell.

From what i've read, the 1125R should top out around 160mph actual.

if you're lucky :whistle:

Truth... you don't... looks and feels dead sexy in your hands.

Why you say that??
what advantage does an R6 have on the track vs the 1125R?
I'm not the most educated on this, so i'm going mostly off what i've read, and sheer stats.

R6 weighs in 9 lbs lighter dry
1125 has more hp, and more torque, and the power is everywhere, vs just in the top end.
Shouldn't this make it easier to go fast around the track?
Less problems finding the right gear for every corner.
No driveline lash, as you have a constant tension belt vs a chain.

Just my thoughts... tell me why i'm wrong.

You're not wrong. The XB's...absolutely...they can get around a track quickly...but they are made for the street. The 1125 is a track bike.

seriously, wouldn't you like to take that out in the hills of eustis or mount dora?

i was only speaking in terms of my 9....and yes, the 1125r is around 160 if not more

:lol: I was talk'n about the dealer... :lol: but since your offering :dthumb:

No dice Ebbs, no trunk mounting kit for the Buell yet :sorry:

:rofl:

i'm sure we can fab something up.

i'm thinkin of fabbing a sidecar.....

that'd be bad ass! :lol:

something like this?
http://www.peacefunerals.co.uk/image...hearse_000.jpg

nope, but that is cool as shit....if i were in the death business, i'd definitely bypass the hearst for a bike with a sidecar....

yeah no shit... that bitch is going in my will... along with everyone who attends my funeral must be on a motorcycle... they better hope I don't die in like early Jan... :lol:

I was saying that in regards to the XB_R pic I quoted. Don't know enough about the 1125 yet.

ok... i then understand, and agree.

I have always like the chassis on the Buells and they are a shrap looking machine but the ones I rode with the pushrod engine circa 1936 were slugs by comparison to everyother twin I rode wich is why I wnet with my Duc. Had the 1125 been available I mught have gone that route. It looks like Mr Buell finally returned to building sportbikes
