ive owned over 20+ sportbikes and the 4 buell xb's ive owned takes the cake in the corners over any jap bike. jap bikes have high hp and no tq. Torque is what pulls you through a corner, not to mention the short wheel base. ive been dusted on the dragon by jap bikes, but on the tighter hellbender 28, im ahead everytime. cant use 190mph everyday or the full 170hp. buells in my own opinion are one of the best engineered and balanced bikes ever built
i sold my buell xb12 scg last summer and got a suzuki hayabusa, wow what a mistake, i really miss my buell, great acceleration, superb handaling, all round sweet ride. Now i got loads of power but no fun and really uncomfortable
I own an XB12R I bought it because of the V-twin and the pure fun and how it handles not to mention very low maintenance...If you do not count tires in 15000 miles I have spent about $240. My old ZRX1200 and zx6r would have cost me an extra $600 for the valve adjustments alone. The cost of Ducati to maintain is insane. FYI no issue with reliability in 15000 miles...I would not be afraid to go across country tomorrow on my XB12R.
Awesome acceleration, can't wait to feel it for myself I just bought an 09 xb9sx, haven't got her through the break in just yet...but I'm almost there.
i ride in the city think this bike is good choice? i have the buell blast and its great for weaving in and out of stopped traffic like a bicycle i just want a little more power
I like the 1200, the power isn't insane but after you learn to ride a little better you'll be glad to have the extra power for wheelies and hooligan fun. If you live in a big city, you might want to get something other than an air cooled buell. I love mine, but going slow and stopping a lot are bad for that air cooled engine stuck inside a wide frame. Cooks your leg and the engine.
I own a xb12x (buell) and a kawi versys. both great bikes, about equally fast. Japs have a smoother tranny and don't make your leg sweat. Buell feels better in the corners and has more torque. Jap and Buells are both fun... no reason to hate. If you want roll on power and live for the corners, get a buell. if you want to go really, really fast get an inline 4 jap bike. If I had to sell one... I would keep the buell.
I`ve had a shite load of bikes over the years, including a 1999 Ducati 996 (yellowémono posto)...sigh. The only bike I had that might edge out the Buell in over all `fun factor` might have been my 97` TL1000S, that thing was like a dirt bike for the street!! The Buell would spank it in the corners though!!
My 09` XB12X Uly is by far the best all round bike to date!!
hey man i love the sound and look of the buell xb9sx but im still leanin towards gettin a gsxr600 but im wondering if you could tell me why i would want one of these babys compared to a rocket, and whats the fastest youve gone on yours?
Buell's aren't meant for flat out speed. I had mine to 130. It's really as fast as you need to go. If you want a bike don't get a fucking suzuki. Get a Buell, Yamaha, or Honda.
Do you want a bike with dime-a-dozen looks and whose primary function is to do double or triple the speed limit in straight lines?
Or do you want a bike that's different, gives you the power where you can actually use it, not way up high at 7k rpms -I ride a Japanese bike :( I am openly NOT a fan of the power delivery- torque out the ass and a design that's innovative every step of the way?
Ride both. It's easy to become addicted to the power and speed of a high hp Japanese bike.
My bike, a Kawasaki Concours 14 is a MISSILE on the Interstate. A fucking GOD for flying between states carrying a shitload of stuff. It's a very comfortable trip bike.
My bike does very well on long stretches of road, but for around town, where I can't wind the gears out and get into the power, it's frustrating. A Buell, with all its low end torque, would be perfect.
Buells are pretty cute bikes...I can put mine in your face at 130 HP and see what you think about that"cute" bike..You might want to learn how to work on your Suzi. See you in my rear view mirror.......
i dont work on the damm things idiot i just ride the livin shit out of them....i let u know it alls do that shit and then i ride the shit out of them again cause thats what i do and corners r not a challenge and as far as buell dominating the circuit good 4 them it is there first time in the lead and how many titles does suzuki hav smartie........u aint gotta b mad cause u rid a american pile of shit
You just ride the shit out of them, but have no clue about them. IF you even own a bike, I bet you can't even change the oil. Just take it to the shop, it's easier. Bet you can't change tires, or exhaust systems, or air filter. Do you know how to tighten your chain?
11 sec bike huh a stock gsxr 1000 is a 9.78 sec bike so there is ur evidence asshole....like i said buells r just pretty cute bikes and if u really want 2 go fast get a jap bike....o and i go around corners 2
wow i think its funny how all these youtube tough guys trash talk buells for not being as fast as their euro/jap counterparts in a straight line, but then talk trash about american cars for going fast in a straight line....seems like they'll make any excuse to hate on american products no matter how hypocitical it makes them sound
i think american muscle cars are an absolute fucking joke. who wants a car that is fast in a straight line but blows around corners? BUT i absoultely fucking LOVE buells. they are the sickest bikes on the road. i hate harleys. they are over done. but buells, god can they corner, and balls to the walls torque.
Has to do with the streets. I'm German and moved to the US (S. Florida) about 5 years ago. Besides highway ramps you don't have any curves here at all. So basically a fast car in a straight line makes more sense than a sports car that handles perfect. Do I like it? No, but you adapt to your environment. I want to buy a XB12scg (had a ZX6R back in Germany) to enjoy at least the acceleration bursts between lights and some traffic dodging.
|,,| ( -.-) |,,| I used to have a 94 z28 camaro and even with the standard 245/50/16's I'd still have to catch myself because often times I'd find myself already past highway speeds before I even got off the off ramp
rowdyjoe11, You are a fuckin idiot! have you heard of the 1125R by BUELL??? if you have then you would know that buell can hang with your shit so stfu!
ive ridden an 1125R. i wasnt that impressed with the handling.(and its a rotaxs motor so it doesnt sound like a buell) i think the xb12r and xb12s are probably 2 of buells best handling bikes.
Why are so many of you so invested in what bike can win a race? You probably don't race, and if you do, you probably race on the street (I'll read about you in the paper when they pour your remains into a hearse.)
I ride a Buell because it handles well and is torquey. It makes the power I need when I want it. I don't race anybody. I also have not had a wreck in the last 200k miles.
The moral of the story - ride what you like and don't be stupid. You can have a lifetime of fun on any brand.
Hell my two wrecks had nothing to do with me, just other fucking idiots.
People like you and I respect the bike, so we don't lay it down. Speed isn't a part of riding. These jap guys think, BUELLS ARE SLOW! So what, we can't go 150+.. Got news for ya, Buells can now. 1125r/cr.. Have fun.
While knowing that I might die on my way to work tomorrow...I still think that how we ride has a huge effect on whether or not we are in wrecks. Watching drivers (as well as cars), placement in traffic, wearing bright clothes, headlight and brakelight modulators, adjusting speed for conditions (traffic and weather), bike maintenance, etc. go beyond merely "legal". Also, I never ride with a drop of booze in me and park the bike on Fri/Sat night when others are drunk. We have lots of control.
damm so many Buell haters can't we all just ride and get along. Beside who the hell cares how fast you can go. Anyone can twist the throttle until the speedo stops. Twisties are were the fun is. I ride for fun not bragging rights thats what 1/4 mile is for.
oh....i just watched your other video and everything is completely aparent now.
YOURE A FUCKING REDNECK HILLBILLY....thats why you have a problem when someone gives you SMART advice when you brag about eating others lunch in the twisties OBVIOUSLY because your buell is so badass and not because you ride with poor riders.
fucking noob. go crash then and chew the skin off your torso. Then post a vid of all your road rash and your buell in peices so I can post a comment in there
If you watched the rest of my videos you would learn that I don't own the Buell anymore. So sorry to hurt your feelings you ignorant fuck, but you should learn to pay attention. I will ride in shorts with flip flops and no shirt all I want. It's people like you that like to call people squids because you cant fucking ride.
The only thing that keeps V2 Buells from racing are straights. In twisty roads you can not outrun a Buell if the rider knows how to ride, period. Not everybody likes to race at high speed anyway.
I prefer the brutal torque in short acceleration bursts without having to keep the revs at 9k rpms. You can't have everything in one bike, there is always a downsize. At the end it all comes down to your priorities.
buells have a very long way 2 go b 4 they can keep up with even a damm turtle--i have watched some many videos on buells and they suck period.....hey they look cute and they have neat colors---slow as a morning piss though
Ah, another V-Twin hater. Well if you had the sense to watch my other videos I own an R6. And for your info, I rode the mountain with an R1 and GSXR-1000 on the buell.. Had no problems keeping up, in fact, I was eating them up. These bikes aren't meant for flat out speed, but meant for the turns. Don't be ignorant, learn to ride.
I own a Firebolt 9R and I can say it is not "lightning fast" in a straight line. Love the bike though. Just not a straight line warrior like squids. Keeping up with a squid in the twisties shouldn't be a challenge at all. Hell, they should be having trouble keeping up with you!
"Kinda quick" I'll give ya. Fast, not so much. lol And before anybody jumps down my throat. I ride an 08 Firebolt. I love the usable power. But, it's not "fast". In fact, most 600cc I4 bikes will walk you after about 1/8th of a mile. And go about 30-40mph faster on the top end.
I don't care if you ride a Buell or not, It's not about speed, it's about the ride. Go ride a mountain. When you pull out of a turn faster than you went in, than you know your doing sumtin right.
It's a different power delivery. I'll grant you that. And I'm not going to sit and argue semantics. There's no better bike for the street. But, if it were "fast" people would be racing them.
I'm not dogging your scoot. I actually wish I had ridden a 9 before I bought my 12. But, our bikes aren't "fast". Very capable. Just not fast.

rowdyjoe11 2 years ago
From what your saying this Buell is an 11 second bike. A gsxr is 9.78, so close to 10 seconds. That just a huge difference isn't it?
No, learn your facts.
A gsxr is a squid bike, for someone like you.
Back on subject, your talking about a inline 4 VS a V-twin. Not only an I4, but a Liter Bike.
No comparison on the straight, but in the turns you have a challenge. Watch some races, Buell is dominating the circuit.

I will stick to the skill in the mountain where speed isn't a factor.
