outstanding motorcycle? that may be true... but in my mind it still has yet to prove it... shit he's only had it a year... I'd hope the thing lasts that long...

like I said... I have no issue with buell... it's saying they're on the same level as the big Jap 4 in terms of reliability and fit and finish I don't agree with... sorry

as good of a bike where? On the street, I'll take a Buell over a Duc any day.
On the track... well, for 5-10K less, yeah, I'll still take a Buell.

Yeah look at all the people racing them and doing well...

I don't care what ANYONE says... there is no better option than to ride/race a bike that is cheaper, more reliable, has a SHITLOAD of parts both OEM and aftermarket available new and used, and is just as good or better performance-wise than the "niche" bikes. It's a no-brainer.

If you are looking for a strict race bike for track days or racing... yes, dollar for dollar, go Jap.

If you are looking for a bike to RIDE, every day, all day, buy a fucking Buell.

Thanks....

asshole.

well... Rotax is a tried and true engine. So i feel confidant there. and as for the Buell part of it. From what i've seen, they stand behind their product. (dealers may vary) and make a quality product as well.

I'm hoping for 20K before I leave for Kosovo, so we shall see!

ya know, they are all advertised/sold as street bikes.

busas kickass at racing-most of u guys hate em lol

but yea, its the twfix way, and its fuckin hilarious to watch

i dont truly knock shit til i experiance it for myself. as far as the 1125 goes=ugly as fuck in person. firebolt=looks sweet, but wouldnt come close to satisfying my bike needs based on its specs and features.

What do you know about Buell reliability? The XB's have proven all but bulletproof since 2003 when the first XB was released. A quick view of a Buell forum will tell you that plenty of people have Buells with some serious miles on them and only regular maintence to get there. I'm talking 60, 70, 80k miles.

Thats no less reliable than any Jap bike. Fit and finish? Depends I guess. Varies from bike to bike.

As for the 1125...of course it's not proven. It's a year old. I have confidence in the product though.

Truth.

I'm hoping I get to wring out an 1125R at the track on Sunday to see what it's like.

Anyways, I'm headed south for two track days at the brand new (and FAST from what I hear) NJMP. Later guys

You really are a prick, ass. Ban for making me jealous.

smileyman · 10-10-2008, 02:08 PM

i am speaking outta turn on Buells but I have owned 2 Kawi's, 3 Yammies, a Honda, and a Suzuki. They have all been far from flawless and have their weak points and strong points. My Yamahas shifted like a tractor, The Honda had to many plastic fasteners but was overall well built even if it did have a cam chain tensioner fail, the Suzuki was bulllet proof if a tad budget (SV), and the Kawi's were really iffy. My Ninja 250, admittedly a budget ride, was poorly assembled and had crappy fit n finish, my 636 is fast as hell but the noisiest SOB I have ever ridden. The forks creek and pop, the body work fits loosely and has too many plastic fasteners, the thing shifts loud, and it sounds like I am carrying $2 in change everytime I hit a bump...

Trip · 10-10-2008, 02:13 PM

Honda's traditionally a pain in the ass when it comes to body work and plastic fasteners. Mine is the same way. Pisses me off everytime I switch from race to street. I agree with the SV, that bike is bulletproof.
