Heh, ya I can't stand most salesman. As for the Blast I have never ridden it, only sat on it. It looks like a great starter bike though.
My wife is taking the class this weekend and they are...
I won't buy a bike without riding it first, but thats my personal opinion. I understand the liability involved in test rides, but that is why Harley makes you sign a waiver. If a certain dealer...
A 250 is a great bike to learn on. You can buy most of them for very cheap. They are light weight and easy to handle. Plus they don't have much power which is GOOD for a beginer. We bought a 2005...
The engine does not like to be cold. Let it warm up for a minute before taking off and it should fix the problem. Also don't sit there and rev the engine like "all" Harley owners seem to do at stop...
I am 6'04" 230 and own a 12s. Both the 12s and 12Ss are too small for me. The only two Buells I feel like I fit on are the Ulysses and the Super TT. I will be buying a new bike this summer for...
Cycle world has an article and video posted of the new 2008 Buell 1125R.
a clip from the article:
Here’s what we do know from viewing the video. Rumors have pegged the motor as Rotax-built,...
I use an Icon Mainframe right now. Best helmet I have owned so far and the price was right.
A BMW or Ducati
All we have done so far is replace the stock seat with the low seat and adjust the suspension for her weight. She would like it to be lower by at least one more inch. Still trying to figure out...
In looking at the suspension travel listed for the S and Scg models both are 4.72 inches in the front and 5.0 inches in the rear. Are the shocks even that much different? Is it just a matter of...
And on another note, no not all Harley shops will service Buells. There is a Harley shop here in town and they will not touch my Buell, nor will they order parts for me.
I live in Montana and the closest dealer to me is 120-130 miles away one way. I do my own maint. so far so it has not been an issue. I wish one was clsoer though.
In my experience the Ulysses is allot bigger then the Lightning long. Even though the stats on Buell.com only show the seat height being 1.3 inches taller, I would say it is more. Two other things...
I am 6'4" and 230 lbs. I ride a Lightning XB12s and it is too small for me. I love the way the bike handles, looks, and sounds. But it is very cramped for me on any ride longer then a few miles...
Thanks for the info on the shocks.
And yeah I messed with the rear suspension a bit and it helped a little bit. She does not weigh enough to compress the suspension to make that much difference...
"specifically designed for closed-course competition"
Makes me think a true dirt bike is on the way.
I own a 2004 Buell Xb12s Lightning that the wife will be taking over this summer. I rode it for the last two years and love it but found it to be alittle cramped for me as I am 6'4" and 230 lbs. I...
