Wow what a comeback. Out of pointless points? Go ahead try & prove me wrong about how idiotically HD is being driven into bankruptcy by idiots who don't even ride. The overall lesson here is NO...
Oh...I thought your pointless point was that HD had NO connection w/ Brigs? Now its the date..or has that changed since I provided facts you were wrong? Regardless its just as I stated...
No HD is in a partnership with B & S. It bought the BUELL plant then leased it to Brigs.

And that proves what? Nothing. Another poor decision by HD in a 20yr+ string of bad decisions. As Erik said himself "Any motorcycle model that sells 10,000 units/yr is doing great. In 2009 we...
I assure you its not to derive any worthless knowledge from you or anyone else who disagrees w/ my opinion of what the f/ups at HD did to Erik Buell.
The new are "Buells" in name only and as they pertain to me are not XBs & don't have the Harley vtwin. I wouldn't even want an 1125r w/ a Rotax motor even though EB was directly involved w/ it. I...
As I said in my YT review...One of THE best BUELL reviews I've ever heard.

We need a poll (although its probably been done to death) asking: To what...
The RW750 was soo badass its STILL being featured to this day in modern video racing games.

I'm not aware of ANY 1988 motorcycle that is anywhere...
I also just bought a 2008 XB12r after selling my heavy as hell, slow as molasses braking, fork diving, top heavy, poor handling 1200 XLC and am even more thrilled as you are to be a 3%'er. Erik...
Have you considered a GED?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmEono_QmaY < 750cc two stroke ROADWARRIOR - 178mph. Holy Sh#@!!! (02:20)
No jap rice rocket today could touch that SOB! ...
Our former local "Brokeback Mtn' sheriff. He's a manly man.

Two strokes burn the sh#@ outta oil. As much as 1 gallon every 1,000 miles & last about 45% as long as a 4 banger. I remember the famed YZ250 of the late 1970's w/ affection. Even then I...
I didn't say in life I said 'ON TWO WHEELS'.
There's just nothing better on two wheels IMO than splitting lanes @ 2x+ the posted limit on my XB12r howling so loud you can hear it echo off the buildings on BOTH sides of the 5 lane boulevard. If...
I really think we've morally bottom'ed out (no sick sex sh#@ intended). Down here we got a macho sheriff thats facing gay rape, incest, sodomy, & a ton a federal fraud charges as we speak. Its so...
Ultimately I think Erik Buell's innovations don't apply as well to racing as they do to the street. Racing has advanced to the point it has sooo very little in common with the street that any...
#1)
About every ride my XB12 dies once & only once at stoplights for no explainable reason. Is this common?
#2)
The rear bottom of my motor/tranny is covered in grease/oil. I've never found a...
HD never EVER supported Buell w/ the fervor they supported flops like the V-Rod & Livewire, both of which never had 1/2 the loyalty of Buell owners. They dropped a few dollars into a "toy" bike as...
That's directly due to the fact the Buell, particularly the XB, is to a fiercely loyal a just about perfect sport bike. Fast, light, well engineered (decentralized low center of gravity) sport bike...
According the speedo it is MPH. If it is accurate & I have no reason to doubt it that is F-A-S-T! My XB12 will do 145mph so it is possible. Your talking a motorcycle that will easily do 0-70 in...

In addition I have no desire to. EBR lacks the HD soul. I don't give a sh@# about going faster than 150mph...at the most. The XB is perfect IMO. Maybe yours is different...I couldn't give a sh$#...
I'd honestly rather have a Buell XB than a EBR. The XB goes plenty fast and nothing water cooled will EVER compare to the Buell vtwin.
