If I like he look of the new Buell in Nov. my Xtra will be up for sale and apart from my Buells, I've never heard a more beatiful noise

A bloke from Bridgestone posts on our Buell site regularly and warned that shoving a 180 tyre on a rim designed for a 170 std tyre will give a reduced contact area with the road apart from slowing the turn in. Another chap who races a Buell, with some success in Thunderbikes, goes down to using a 16...

I've had them on a couple of the 3 Buells I own. Definately no improvement over standard (in my OPINION :wink: ) and one of them cracked. There have been several instances of this catastophic failure :shock: - and yes, I have seen these discs, it's not just internet bullshit. All mine were removed a...

I will admit to haveing naughty thoughts about the new buell 1125 - due for uk release in November - but being only 5ft5 it has to 'fit'... and I need to win the lottery. But if I win the lottery then it willbe the Buell as well as the raptor! :oops: Good on yer. If it doesn't look a complete dog w...

I think Triumph (dunno the model) one fit

I seem to be getting 85 miles to the light almost all the time ,but my bruv said he usually got 100 miles out of this bike so maybe it`s the way i`m riding her :roll: . Think i`m going to have to strap a fuel can to the back and see what that tank returns in miles before she runs out as i wouldn`t ...

Cheers peeps,seems like i may have to relax the throttle a bit if i want more economy,but i just can`t help wanting more of that drive that the big V gives.Keep leaving dark lines out of every roundabout and i`m getting good at steering on the back wheel once she`s gripped out of those roundabouts ...

Had mine about 21 months, added some bits, pointy indicators and pointy mirrors, some loud zorsts(Mmmm, they sound nice!!) and the belly pan. And taken some bits away, well the bit of plastic from the airbox I'm lovin it!! Had a test ride the other day on a Buell XBR12, just to confirm what an ace ...
