And yes these v-twins in general will vibrate off anything and everything... you should see how bad a BIG v-twin is when its solid mounted to the frame!!!!

I haven't rode a buell in 4 years or somin... maybe 3... have they increased the rpm band? I always thought it never hit a solid wall of power band and it always seemed like it wanted to rev higher but always got smacked down on rev limiter.
I think the 07's bumped 200rpm. How much can you do with this engine? Not much more. The XBRR's rev to 10,000 something...and are extremely unreliable.

I, however, find the opposite. I dont come close to redline. Don't need to. It's making 60 some odd foot lbs of torque right off idle. No need to rev the piss out of it.
