Firebolt Fever Dream - Buell XB12R

[PETAVER]

It makes me sad that they are no longer making xb12rs or any buell for that matter.. i went into a HD the other day and they have BMW bikes in its place :(

[mikeymike3232]

am i at a rave tripping on "E" or am i looking at a buell motorcycle?

[Benetation]

Please wear a leather jacket or something while you're riding your bike. When you have an accident, your family will thank you for that ! :)

The song is very cool, i feel like on drugs:D

[PaulMEdwards]

Would've been a great video if not for the overuse of cheesy effects.

[jellophalanx]

If you read the info, you'd know the whole reason the video was even made was because I was teaching my kid how to use the effects in a program - besides, they were less cheesy and blended perfectly with the original music used before WB and YT made me change it. .

[PaulMEdwards]

@jellophalanx Ahh, my bad for missing that. It's lame that the RIAA has to get their greedy mitts on a video that's not even being used to make money.

I got notice that my "Artists Drive - Part 2" video can't be shown in Germany due to the music used. There are 2 tracks on that video used & they didn't tell me which one is the problem.

Did you use one track from '300' or more than one? If one, which was it? I will find & play it synchronized w/the video to better understand the original intent.

[jellophalanx]

No worries - yeah, I'm not profiting from their music, but hey, I didn't create it. . . Anyway, I used a quick opening from To Victory and then a section of Fever Dream, hence the name of the vid, but a some effects were timed with sounds from the bike too, again- it was a tutorial on using the various program effects. Happy to Skype it to you if you're that interested in the original

[PaulMEdwards]

Yeah, it would be cool to experience it as you originally intended... Copyright be damned!

I'll send you a private message with my contact info.

[hayleighmorgans]

i can garante i will own any inline for superbike on a twisty rd on my xb12r

[TheMachRider]

with that spelling I sure hope you can, you don't have much going for in the brain department :)

[pataforce8]

Haha yes!

[angelsaphir]

lol at 2.27 :-)

[shiffermonster]

THey dont have "Just like you imagined" on here for audio replacement? That is the NIN song from all the 300 trailers... Anyway nice vid.

[jellophalanx]

I didn't look - the music WAS "Fever Dream" and many of the effects are geared towards that music, plus you could hear the bike along with the music.

[sensesfail86]

NICE VID. Love to see the 1125R mirrors on another XBR, wrecked my 9R a month ago but insurance gave me a ton of dough, bikes being customized including the 1125R mirrors. Tried to get the speedzillas but gues site is dead. I'm considering a Buell tattoo since its all I'm gonna ride. Love the color scheme!! Post up some more dude!

[129Slayer]

Rice?  We don't need no stinkin' rice.

[Twinkie609]

dum asses

[mmtiger31]

this bike is so much fun to ride. so much torque!

[ni79]

I guess I will just never like buells... I keep trying to like them... I so desperately want to love an American motorcycle company... but Buell continues to disappoint. And anyone who argues against that just hasn't ridden a Big 4 Bike or Triumph or a Ducati....

[natural2112science]

ni79 whatever. Any v-twin sport bike is SO much fun to ride. Yes it is different than a in line 4. Different bike for a different purpose. I would not sell my XB12R for ANYTHING. I absolutely love it! Ride your GSXR or R1 like every other brat in America.

[ni79]

I whole heartedly disagree, because ANY bike is fun to ride. But Buells just do not cut it, there are so many other GREAT V-Twins out there. I am just not a fan of their price and how little you get for what you pay. I really would rather ride the Hyosung 650 and save myself 6k USD. And go ahead and thumb down my comments it's cool, I understand everyone in here loves Buell.

[natural2112science]

Sorry you can buy a new XB12R for 9k that is 3k difference and for that you get about 30 more hp and twice the torque. Once again different bike, different rider, different purpose. I have no doubt that both are fun. You have a different opinion and that is fine.

[redfordfocussvt]

I bet you have never riden a buell; please, dont lie and say you have because we all know if your ass had been on a buell you would be like all of us and be riding one. Really go ride one and trade in your rice!!!

[PaulMEdwards]

@redfordfocussvt If this comment is directed at me, you are sadly mistaken...

My first bike was a Buell XB12R (Black & Red) & my second is a Buell "25th Anniversary" 1125R which has the most miles of any 1125R in the entire world (currently over 42,000)... It's not even 2 years old & it's been in the shop for about 6 months of its life.

I literally ride the wheels off! Rear wheel was replaced when damaged by a belt-side bearing failure @ 80mph in the pouring rain on I-5 20 miles N of Salem, OR.

[ViolenceMan]

Hey man what kind of mirrors are you sportin in this vid??

I'd like to pick some up.

[wellness1125r]

they look like the ones that i have, the stock 1125r mirrors. i could be mistaken.... but I;m going to say that, 1125R

[buell41]

nice mirrors. those look good.

[smashken28]

Video is well done man, and I'm jealous of the bike. Can't wait to trade my Ninja and get real American muscle.

[seanleach]

Good video man! It's nice to see someone put a little effort into their Youtube vid. It was also great that you had music, but the wonderful sound of the bike always was louder and more prominent. Kudos!

[jellophalanx]

Thanks

[benqler]

I love Buell!

I´m going to buy me a 1125R!

Perfect centralisised mass, perfect sound, perfect style!

[fyrefyter14]

Awesome man. I just got a '07 xb12r last month after riding a '93 CBR600 and an '04 CBR600RR I am in love. I wish I had found a buell a long time ago for the kind of mountain curve riding I do around my hometown. I just wish I could find a Buell rider group in North East Georgia. It's either all Harley or all rice burner's here.

[jellophalanx]

crash both parties - welcome to the club, btw!!

[aj06bolt12r]

Dude nice video, good quality stuff, its like you know what you are doing or sumthing. Hell Buell could use this to sell bikes!

[jellophalanx]

Feel free to tell Buell that LOL - just me, a tripod and a point and shoot digital camera, so I know it could be better - but it was fun. . .

[vitorblasques]

Nice bike jellophalanx! Good video too! Where did you get those mirrors? Are they Buell gear?

[jellophalanx]

Thanks. The mirrors are not Buell, ordered from speedzilla . com. BUT the mirrors for the new Buell 1125R fit the XBRs, though you'll need a load equalizer to account for the LEDs vs. the incandescents of the XB.

[8inchcolor]

Loved the video. I was considering on buying a Buell.

I've ridden a XB12Ss, but not a XB12R. did you test ride the others before you made your decision? Also what made you buy the air cooled XB12R over the 1125R? Thanks.

[jellophalanx]

Thanks for the comment. I hadn't test ridden any of them since I was stationed overseas when I decided to buy one (it was 2004 so the 1125R wasn't an option). I first considered the then new cityX XB9X, but eventually grew to like the styling and posture of the 12R - I love it's sound with an aftermarket can and it's unique looks. I'm not a track rider, so it's plenty of bike and more fun than I've completely discovered. Best of luck in your bike hunt and hope to see you on a Buell!

[ajnewman]

my god these bikes are bad ass,

[rex4x4]

good show bud ..... too bad its too short .... ill be comming bacl loking for more. thanks

[steve26al]

nice fucking video man

[semisonic86]

dually agreed with henry93612. awesome video...hopefully my buell will be in the garage in the next few weeks! please post some more!!

[henry93612]

Excellent video, excellent bike! One request from a fellow Bueller, more videos, please

[jellophalanx]

Thanks - I hope to make some more and spread the gospel of Buell LOL.

[timijai22]

finally a proper xb12r video. it got really annoying watching all those douchebags just turning the bike on and walking around it for 3 minutes. when i get my bike i'll post a video (once i get used to the bike of course).

[TukrHill]

What pipe are you running? Next time you do an onboard clip you should include the sound.

[jellophalanx]

Special O.P.S. pipes - modded from stock can.

I tried to get onboard sound but the wind noise overwhelmed it.

[poiuytrewq415]

[bagels21]

[riley55]

[4280ray]

NICE!!! Where do you get those mirrors?

[jellophalanx]

speedzilla . c o m - maybe now it will post.

[Hameltonamotorcycle]

Nice vid. I just test rode all the bikes in Rahway NJ at their open house. Erik was there. Great guy. I'm deciding between the SuperTT and the Firebolt.

[jellophalanx]

Thanks - I need to get more footage in action, but it was just me and a tripod. It's a great bike!!

[JaYwALk1973]

Excellent video - nice effects. Oh.... and bloody nice bike too!!
