There must be something wrong with your Buells because mine has no problem running down I-4 sportbikes, chewing them up, and spitting them out. I even turn my head around just to see them getting smaller:D. Just thought I'd throw this in the mix
Nice first post! Welcome to the forum!
Ok now thats outta the way, your story was stupid. Youre an idiot, only slightly stupider than your friends. In no way shape or form does what you describe the capabilities of your bike/Buell or anything else on the road. My advice is sell your Buell buy a 'Busa kill yourself on a private road with it.
Pretty sure this is the meanest post i have ever made.

haha eric....you and your bike are the exception to the rule.
oh and for the record, I bought and drive my buell knowing full well what it is, and what it can do. And I am extremely happy with it.
Jb
Yes they are...:pare buells slower than other sportbikes??
I think this thread needs more distinction between XBs and 1125s.
I'm always happy with my Buell's speed until I actually go ride a fast bike.
For example a really good friend has a zx14, and we switched bikes last weekend for a ride, it's stupid how fast that Kawasaki was!!!!!
I never had a 600cc bike pull away from my XB12 on the street. That's enough for me.
By the time a 600cc bike can spin up to 14k and hit its max power band, I have already pulled out 10 bike lengths, hit 100 mph and let off.
The majority of liter bike owners are riding something that is WAY out of their league and will never be able to hit even %50 of what the bike is capable of.
Guys who talk about "my bike is faster" need to STFU, because it boils doing to a pissing contest and nothing more.
I went out on a short ride this weekend with my father in law and his sv1000 and yes my bike is much slower lol. I'm on a xb9r. We took off and he went substantially faster than I, and even the big bagger harley with two passengers inched ahead of me(a guy we just happened to be next to). I still love my bike lol.
xb12r is the fastest bike in the world. Just meet me in the middle of the pacific and I will prove it!
Buell's are slow... But so are their owners... and I'm not talking physically...:)xb12r is the fastest bike in the world. Just meet me in the middle of the pacific and I will prove it!
I would not wnat any of our board members to drown.
