Hi all, I am currently the proud owner of a 1995 CBR600F clocking 31000 miles, and craving for modern geometry at the moment. I also would like to come back to a good old V twin grunt rather than a screamer. I pretty much fell in love with the firebolt when I first saw it and the engine personality does it for me. After budgeting properly I am now on the hunt... The 984 version would be the most sensible option at this point. I have had a look around the forum for tips and defects and I will keep an eye out for belt, tensioner, bearings etc. If anyone has got other buyer tips it would be greatly appreciated, or if you know a nice bike for sale ni South East England I am ready to rumble! I am also looking forward to rideouts and chats with enthusiasts around here! Cheers G |

Oh yeah! Riding he beast and tinkering in the garage are just two sides of the coin. I also am a big fan of gurgling V8s so this is as close as it gets on two wheels. I can't wait to smoke my Dad and his sportster ans tell him it is the same engine  ( well not quite but it is just for the effect)

I took my time to look for the right bike / budget, and finally got a buell in my garage! 2005 XB12R, red with black frame and orange wheels, absolutely mint. It has just over 6000miles on it and does everything I expected! First ride yesterday to bring it back, and I can't get enough of it. It has a Drummer exhaust with machined baffle (and k&n filter and race ECM). Sounds great like that but shakes the ground without the baffle! I need to find a good service shop closest to Gatwick area just in case. Nothing needed for 3000 miles but you never know. Any recommendations? Thanks G |

Hi nounours I love bolts - great fun bike. Don't know your kneck of he woods, but if fancy a ride it is worth getting to know Moore speed racing - they do loads of good stuff. Tubbs is the Buell man there. http://www.moorespeedracing.com/ Try posting in another section and the New members area can be a bit quiet. |
