@1tokeover one there is a leg burn it does away with and two it give better performance overall where the gases coming out is warm all the way as to it cooling down half way through the pipe..
@1tokeover i can ask the same question about the active exhaust why put it in when it actually drops hp... i didn't feel a difference tbo but i don't have as bad a leg burn as i used to get.
"sounds badass but in the sportbike world a v twin can't touch a high rev ving 4 banger "
LOL! Amazing how nieve most people are about V-twin sportbikes. They have no clue or have NEVER thrown their leg over and taken a HOT lap on a Aprilla RSV4, a Ducati 1098, KTM RC8, Moto Guzzi SP 1200.... or even a old school Suzuki TL1000R..., now extinct.
The air cooled Buells are "sport/street fight bikes" nothing more. They are not cookie cutter, uncrate and race, Super Sport bikes.
Would like to know what your combination and set up is on that custom pipe. Have BIG plans for my 09 XB12R when the factory warrenty runs out July 2011. Best sounding air cooled Buell on youtube.!
wonder why a twin won the AMA? less revs. Also wonder why we hold two 1st place div championships on a twin over some high revving 4 banger as you call it.
rev all you like come out of the corners off the rev you fall on your face... there is more to it than one rpm at wot in the real world. why does Hd and buell hold the 1/4 mile and 1/8 best times overall?
That makes absolutely zero sense bc ducatis are v-twins mounted sideways hence "L-Twin" and boy do they compete in the sportbike world...wtf r u talking about!?
im getting a buel in a month cant wait till then! good bike i would rather buy american than jap crap anyway nice polishing job also i found an xb 12 r for 3 g's with only 6,000 mi on it. buy american
the xb12 or the xb9 is my favorite bike. I bought a kawasaki z750, but this is the real deal!! not a fan of american bikes or cars, but this rocks!! greatings from norway Ü
any one can spend money and make a bike go fast in a straight line it takes talent to grind your pegs going up a mountain twistie doing 75...fact i rode my buell 155 on the highway last week whoopie i know how to twist the throttle
v twins rule the streets and the short track you 4 banger is only good for the long straights. why did the equally HP twin win the AMA last season.
They have the same HP and same Tq ratio's. Its HP and Tq matching bike for bike evenly matched twins to 4 bangers the twins win.. we dont need stinking revs to make power.
I personally have a firebolt xb12r but holy shit I would be proud to ride that bike! Bike sounds intense!! Nice work with those pipes and definitely a fan of the chrome work. Makes the bike completely unique!
Nice job on the frame, I did mine in less than a month of getting it. I also did the rails under the seat & converted the 03' belt to the 04' up. Nice triple clamp too. What knda pipe & triple clamp?
That's the greatest sound ever! I can't believe that's from a Buell xb9. I've got the race kit on mine, and it doesn't sound nearly as nice. Man, I'm really jealous.
this may be an odd question but how tall are you im 6 4 and i have always wanted a buell but im afraid i dont fit on them
