Thread: Best bang for the buck!?

    I've heard that little buell is light and agile, and the thumper engine makes it sound great.

    That's just it though. Buells are probably not the best at anything in particular, but rather some of the best "overall" bikes.

    I think Buells are probably the best at handling. That seems to be what Erik is gunning for. And I read an article online somewhere by one of the big-name magazines (can't remember which one), and the XB9R came in #1 on their "Top 50 Best Handling Bikes Ever" review.

    Back to the Blasts, there's a guy on the Badweb forums named EZBlast that has modded the crap outta' his. If I'm not mistaken, he's hit around 110mph... it's up to like 80+HP, and on a single cylinder! I think the case may be the only stock piece of the engine left, though... he's obsessed. :D

    :DTerry P - a friend from ASBN - The Dyno guy at Vallejo HD/Buell - has 80 plus hp and did 135 mph at the last LSR , I've got 40 plus and have done 106 mph - Terry's bike is way modified, and not really that streetable, mine - however, will do everyday street duty pretty easily! My dailly driver has 35 hp(all hp quoted at the rear wheel in my writing) and is closer to stock engine wise -






    My bikes are the top 3 and Terry's is the bottom 3.

    has anyone just bumped up the compression on the xb12 say to 10.5 or 10.8..that alone should boost the torque quite a bit for street riding..and if so would it be a problem starting
