I'm 24, been riding a v-rod for about 4 years, just picked up my xb12r about two weeks ago. I've wanted a white firebolt for years, and they finally made one again right when I could afford it. I'm sure I don't have to say how bad-a I think my bike is.

well so far im the SECOND youngest at 22.  bought my firebolt this past august and have had a permanent smile plastered on my face since.  my first bike, and i must say it was a LOT easier to get used to than i thought.  not the bike i first learned on, though.  that was a blast   it was my buddy's first bike and he said "you gotta try this".  so i did, and it took one lap around the block for me to decide i wanted on of my own.  that was back in 2004.  two years in japan and a tour in iraq later, i have my first baby, my xb9r.  i took my girlfriend out on it a couple days ago and she loved it.  too bad she lives in chicago and im stationed in north carolina.

I'm now 26 but I grew up with bikes since I was 12. I've had my 2003 xb9r for a little over a week now and put 150 on her in the cold and rain. I also have a little cafe racer she's a 77 kz400 that I putt around on. She's all bike just like the XB. I love the crap out of 'em. Most my friends with bikes are 24-35. The XB is my 6th bike. I currently own just the 2. But, I'll be picking up a dirtbike by the end of the year and maybe a track bike too. I am officially addicted to bikes. The XB is my favorite ride to date.

Seems like most guys are older on this site.  I will be 32 soon.  I bought a Cyclone new in 01 and sold it 3yrs ago and then I got a Gixxer 750 and hated it and got a 01 Honda Shadow now I have the Shadow and the 03 Firebolt.

I am 25 and have a 2004 XB12S.  It is my fourth bike.  First bike was a 1989 FZR600R, then a 1997 ZX-7R, then a 2003 CBR600RR, then the Buell.  I must say that the Buell may not be the fastest bike out there, but it IS the most fun to ride.  I think the reason for that is because in order to have fun on the CBR600RR, I felt like I needed to go over a 100 mph.  With the Buell, it is full grin at any speed.  It must be the funnest bike to ride legally!

Damn...I guess I'm the baby on here.  I'm 22.  However, it's refreshing to see older gentlemen on something other than a fully dressed Harley with 900 pounds of chrome.

53/4 this year, no mid life about it, just gonna take no more sh t, went on a Buell TT test and was never gonna look back again, after so many jap bikes and British, mostly all crap at some thing. i always fancied a Harley TBH but, and as it goes, i got me one with a bit of all the other makers involved too, can't all be to bad can it. started when i was 15 and having money probs while raising family didn't have a bike for 20 years ffs. so my advice is, if you is getting married (or not)  and having kids, don't ever give up ur bike like me.

36, I think the older riders start looking for more than top speed and what bike won the last moto GP race. Hence the Buell craze in the older riders. I agree with XBear9S my next bike will be a Uly when all my friends are talking about selling their sports and getting touring cruisers If they only knew.

20, probably one of the younger ones on here, United States Army, Specialist. I own one of only two Buell's on Fort Knox, a 2007 Buell Lightning CityX XB9SX. The other Buell on post is a XB12S not sure which sub-model/year though. Got my buell because of it's style, sound, and the way it handles.
