Thread: What's the age of the typical Buell owner?

  1. #1
    After noticing in a few threads that there are more than a few middle-aged Buell XB owners (myself included). I was wondering if everyone would give their age and which model of XB (or Blast). I'll start. I got my XB12Ss for my 43rd B-day and my wife, hereafter referred to as Jennifer, has a XB9SX and is 34. Don't tell her I said that.;)

    I had my first bike when I was about 20, rode it everywhere sold it when I headed overseas with the Air Force 23 years later I bought my Buell Firebolt. I was wanting to start riding again and great gas mileage didn't hurt.

    I'm 34 and I have an '06 XB12X. Bought it in Feb and had a '99 Sportster before that. I decided to upgrade after nearly seven years!!!

    I'm 27 and ride an 06' Buell XB12Ss. Had a 98 CBR that I bought new in 99. Rode it up until 2 years ago, got married and sold it ( she didn't make me :D ) Got the itch for another and the misses said "we're gonna start a family in the next year or so, so get exactly what you want, you wont be getting another for a while" SO I DID!!!

    I got my first bike at about 15,Yamaha yz 250, graduated to street bikes,bounced back and forth between bikes and old cars.Had a '66 G.T.O. for a while then another Yamaha,I think I have a.d.d. when it comes to things with motors.Now here I am at 38 with a 03 XB9R I bought it used, at the time I would have gotten an XBR or XBS just found the Firebolt first.I'm glad I picked the 'bolt it's looks realy grew on me.Maybe I should have held out for an XB12 but whatever,building power is half the fun.
