Buell Lightning is the muts!

[TJ's]

Just wanted to post this....
I went for a ride on my Buell XB12 Ss today and it is the muts nuts! I haven't been out on for about 4 months due to bad weather and have been using the tractor lately. What a refreshing change it was to have a blast on the Buell! I bloody love it! It is honestly the best bike i have ever owned!


Everbody, go and buy one!

Fun isn't it

I've used mine all through the winter apart from when it's been icy.....

But, I took the softail deluxe out for an hour last weekend and it brought a really big grin on my face

Can't say which bike I like the most.

Both so different and make me grin for different reasons.

Love 'em both

Yeh both got grin factor but have been thinking about selling the softail. It's got grin factor but just not the same as the Buell and doesn't handle that well 2 up. I can't help but think the Buell is my toy and a 2 up bike should be a CB1300. Don't know......

I liked my XB9 well enough that I am changing it for an XB12 - any day now...

Good call. It's an under rated bike by the masses and will be until HD sell Buell through seperate dealers aswell as 'some' HD dealers.

Anyway, mines a 12 and i got the lighting long. My last bike before this was a fireblade and the buell handles better and to be honest is more fun as a V twin and the gears are shorter.

NO. But i can understand why they would to alot of Harley riders. The brakes on my softail are best described as chocolate!

My cure for that was a pair of 13inch Harrison discs and 6-pot Billet calipers! Result....
