would this be a good starter bike? its not like im really starting though i use to have a couple of 2 stroke dirtbikes but as for the street its my first time and im really lovin this bike. should i go for it?
@AK47powpow It's not a beginners' bike. It reacts almost intuitive on what you want it to do. Like a BMX. So it can be very tricky to ride it, especially because of the huge amount of torque at hand. Although it doesn't outrun anything ricy above 650cc, you still need a pair of racing gloves in order to give it a spin.
@Headroom1001 damn that sux. who needs top end im all about the muscle baby!!!! but i wish i could just hop my ass on and go but i would prob kill myself lmao
ive been looking at alot of different bikes to buy and these bikes look and sound sweet. from what i am reading they dont make them any more but can you still buy parts for them and if you can how hard is it?
These after market exhaust canisters don't sound bad. But in my personal opinion, nothing beats a pair of open slash-cut headers dropping down just below the cases. They're just bitchin
@Nginear47 Yup. It was one of the first mods that I did to the bike when I had it. Actually, it's a fairly simple process. Do a Google search of the following to find the link that I used to do the mod: Running both headlights for BUELL XB9S/XB12S
@IAMMisterX.. on my xb12xt i can just carefully place the high/low beam rocker switch in the middle position to turn on both lights... start in low beam and carefully rock it upwards until your high beam indicator comes on. viola!
Dude i love the bike! its awesome, one question tho. Do you have Ronnie Coleman living up your street lifting his weights atm or what?! It sure as hell sounds like him there in the background 0:30 - 0:55
I agree I like the Ducatti sound better but that's apples and oranges. BMW, Ducatti, Buell, Harley, Jap bikes, and whatever I forgot are not the same thing. It's just personal opinion on which sound you like more. There is no"better" sound.
@Pandanobear The word "better" in the vid title refers to the fact that this was an additional video that I took where the actual sound quality was better than the first one. However, I do agree that different bikes/cans have different sounds that attract different people.
SUCH A MEAN MACHINE !!! EXCEPT ONE PROBLEM ! this monster must be heard in person not on a youtube video only then can one experience the meanacing roar , that is my opinion. work of art, this machine !
im thinking about getting one. i had a sportster bobber. and i figure if i ever get tired of having a crotch rocket i already have a motor to build another one.

That bike is the cleanest ever,right? Is it new. I like the sound for sure, I think I'm going to get one.
The bang somebody had to point out is the mic on the camara clipping not a real sound, why spend time looking for negitive stuff all the time.

buell's are awesome bikes and have a great rumble but the SV1000 with decent cans sounds a lot better. Lower and more pronounced rumble
