    Alright im almost getting myself on a buell

    Hey guys ive posted my honda to trade but finally got couple of deals on craigs list to trade so i need some opinions here. I like the look of the lightening better the front and the tail too so, i have a guy with an 03 9s with some extras on it jardine but he doesnt know if the bike is remaped, tailchop and some other cosmetic touches, than i have another one with an 05 12r asswell with a jardine and tuned, the both have about 10k miles and both are well kept, the 03 9s has the hand guard and the grilles for the headlight, i honestly am not a fan of the r front end but who cares at the end of the day i can live with that, i am more of getting the 12r, i know the 9 revs higher but why not trying a 12 since i had a 9 before, what do you guys think, should i go for the white 03' 9s or the black and orange 05 12r

    It's impossible to say without any detailed info. I personally like the look of the Lightnings, but I'd pick the Firebolt for 2 reasons:

    It's a 12
    It's an '05

    The '03 needed some upgrades that the '05 already has, like the belt.

    Yep same reason id get the r too, the 03 has different sprocket i think couple less tooths, and i like the lightenings riding possition, is it easy to change the handlebars from clipons to the lightening ones, do i need longer cables to conver, i know switching from r to s front end its a biggie with all the wiring and the space needed to fit everything in the fron unless i get the lightening wiring thing that i am not willing to play with and have no knowledge and wiring
