That Buell must have a very nice setup. I rode a XB12S once and gained a new appreciation for the brakes on my RC51 (and my heavy ass VTX).

Looks better than that famous 636

Buell holds the record for the longest stoppie, I think. I know they did a few years back, not sure if somebody beat it though.

isn't the longest stoppie done by Kane... on a Kawi? same attepmt when he did the highest speed to a full stop... tail went up at 120+... he did that a couple years ago...
