I convinced a dude off a firebolt and onto a 08 600rr. He is much happier now.

He had to have his motor rebuilt twice though, so he wasn't much happy with it.

intresting... how old a firebolt?

I'm not looking for anything right now anyways.. I need a couple more years on my bike... but I'm 95% sure the next bike is gonna be a V-Twin... and Buell is rank'n way up there for me at the moment....

05, he had that sucker tuned by some buell specialist down this way. When it ran, it was quick.

If he had it modded up considerably that may be the reason... though I've seen enough turbo'ed XB12's to think it might still be a fluke...

I like the silver headers... I think I'm going to do that to my bike... The Cherry Bomb color looks pretty good... I've saw a guy get the grey plastics off the City-X and put them on with the red wheels... it was MONEY.

That shit is WHACK! If you want to get faster, Ebbs, don't buy a Buell. If you have any intention of doing track days, don't buy a Buell.
