I need help,Im a stunter and i ride hard.I stunt on an f4i in lots and soon to be the local streets but the f4i is not a bike i want to take on long trips and ride on the roads for to long so I need another road bike, and I've been through over 15 streetbikes but I love the look and sound of buells.so Im in the process of buying a One. I Need some feed back from people that have had or still have 1 or got some good info 4 me.im looking at the xb12 firebolt. I like highway wheelies and high speeds so i need a bike that can take a beatin so my question will a buell fit these standards????????????????????????????????????????

 

Here's some Buell XB12 R's. The Psychogang just got sponsored with three of them. I'm sure they will post here with some comments! Here is the link to their website and some pics of them stunting them!

All I can say is that I love my XB12R Firebolt. I don't say that just because we are sponsored by them. I say that because I truly believe that. It has alot of torque. It wheelies and stoppies like a champ. You're not going to win any races with it but they are very fun to ride. They flick side to side very easily. The brakes grip in a heartbeat. Plus the parts are super cheap on them. If you want a slightly different feel go with the Lightning. It has the streetfighter look. All I can say is....buy a Buell.

 

so are the parts really that much cheaper than suzuki and hondas? I would love to have a buell but I was thinkin that parts would be crazy expensive cause its a harley.

 

if i were to ever buy a pretty bike it'd probubly be a buell.... i was sittin on one of the city x's the other day, hot ****. feels just like my streetfightered 600rr... both have really tall seat heights and dirtbike bars

 

yo red what's goin on? i to am in the process of being sponsored by buell. i am looking @ the pictures on your site of broken subframes and what not. what my question to you is what breakage has occured on the firebolt12r have u experianced?

 

To eliminate the problem with the subframe we ground off the stock tabs and welded some really beefy tabs (3 inch by 2 inch block of aluminum) in their place. Other than that we put rear handbrakes, a cage, 12 bar and spools on the swingarm to help protect it. It's got a lot of torque. Also a steering dampner is a MUST.

 

Broken so far....
Subframe tab, foot peg, clip on, front isolator motor mount, shifter, fairing stay.

 

very helpful info by any chance can u send me some pix of the up grades and maybe point me in the direction of your handbrake system.thanks RR

 

Do you have pics of your mods Hunter?
I honestly don't know whats what on this computer. There are soooo many pics of the hb and other people's hb set up, I wouldn't know what to send. Let me know if you don't.

 

also do u guys have a date yet for your show this year?

 

We are sponsored by our local buell dealer with three of them Just like it was said they are awsome stunt bikes not the fastest but for what we do with them there great! parts are cheap and they take one hell of a beating.www.arcticattack.com

 

Here are some of the pics of the mods. If you need more let me know. Also I am in the process of changing the handbrake from on top of the clutch lever to the bottom of it.

 

Also.............I want to give mad props to Whites Harley-Davidson/Buell for the sponsorship!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so how many times has that powers cage broke your front isolator?

 

The first time I crashed it broke the front isolator mount and it also broke a piece of the head off. Since them we made some adjustments. We added longer bolts. The two bolts that go into the head actually bottom out. And we eliminated the aluminum spacers and put the cage closer to the isolator mount. I haven't crashed on it yet with it this way. I will let you know what happens when I do. I understand yours, or one of your team mates broke on the first crash on the ice.

 

Wow, those pics really make it look like a different color.

 

The camera sucks. It's the one I have at work and it tends to make blues very light.

 

Have you checked out the Stunters Chat room yet? Sucks if no one is in there, but it's addicting if you get a good convo started.

 

Heh Alan. I just saw the pics of the ice crash/finger! Wow! That looked painfull!
