InyaAzz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Are any of you other pussies going to get a buell?Someone said your Buell looks like a pussy. Better ride the SV before I winterize it... the 'busa is up for the season.I thought mine was put up before I rode it to work this AM.

Uncle Punk Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 What you did a track day, how did I miss that? You will be okay the first couple of times when you are heavily supervised but once you are turned loose on your own stupid things happen quickly. I know this because I have totaled a Busa at the track. The XB would be a better choice for track use your first couple of years at the track. It appears to be way more comfortable than the 10 but that would be hard to tell without riding one. I had a Road King Classic that sucked for comfort at least for me but I could ride the Busa to Florida no problem. Did someone say having a Buell gets you pussy?

Tpoppa Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Matter of fact, I just LEFT LE HD to see if they had it in red...and tried the seat out again. Remind me never to go into an HD shop with gear and a backpack on. Fucking morons.Normally, I wouldn't quote myself, but it's a relevant rant from another thread.The HD dealer network completely fucked Buell. The sales staff knew nothing about sportbikes. Gear & accessories were basically nonexistent, unless you wanted tassels and chrome. Walk into an HD dealer in actual riding gear and you're looked at like a retard. As much as I have liked my 2 Buells, I couldn't stand setting foot inside the HD Boutique.If Buell was sold along side Ducati, Triumph, BMW, Aprilia, etc, there would be more people sitting on them in showrooms and more being sold. And the sales staff would know what the fuck they wer talking about. Sad day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 This thursday in Lorain, Ohio, a 1125r will be available for Demo. Just let me know and you can watch me ride it up and down the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 They unchained that thing from the ceiling for you already? How do you get from Youngstown to Lorain? You suck, I hate you. I have rode one of those for a very short time. You have any seat time yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Normally, I wouldn't quote myself, but it's a relevant rant from another thread.Ugh..I can't complain too much about the sales staff on my second trip..although it took almost 25 minutes before someone even acknowledged I was there, and I won't mention the idiot customers. I had to school one of them about the Thunderstorm vs. the Rotax.This thursday in Lorain, Ohio, a 1125r will be available for Demo. Just let me know and you can watch me ride it up and down the streetIf you make a pit stop can I wipe your shield and serve you water before you take off again?What you did a track day, how did I miss that?

Not sure if that will get him a ticket....I did a track day with a borrowed suit in the 06. It wasn't at Mid Ohio.You have a point about being turned loose. I'll just try to keep Rt60 in the back of my head. There is a BIG difference in the seat of the 12Ss Long, and the XB12Scg and XB9SX. The latter two feel like a rock compared to the Long....and they aren't hard seats at all, it's just that going from the Ss straight to the other two is THAT big a difference.Really, I'm just looking to tool around with something halfway fun that can chop some corners up. The ZX10 beats my body like a limp dick...I love it, but damn it's a love/hate relationship. And $5-6K for an 09 with a 2 year warranty is hard to pass up. Plus it looks tits.

Disclaimer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Plus it looks tits.Hate to call you out, but have you ever seen tits?Close, not still not tits. What are you waiting for... wave that huge wad of cash in front of LE HD and tell him you'll throw in the BBK for free if they'll let you walk out of there on a new discontinued American Sportbike.

I'm sorry..I'm trying to like the big hoover suction pods on the side and the retarded Yamaha front end..but it's just not doing it for me. If I'm going to step down (LOL..I said DOWN) to a discontinued bike, at least let me love the styling. I can say, I truly love the styling on the Lightning.Someone go out there and find me a Cherry Bomb Red XB12Ss. Close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Call, and tell them... $5500 OTD, or you'll take the black one here.They'll be ecstatic to have one less bike in their inventory (esp. from the XB-series) and you'll have the flavor flav you want.

jbot Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 yeah, they have a bunch at the dealership right next to me.they're at 3000 off MSRP of the XB's, but i suspect their price will go lower as other dealerships keep dropping prices to get rid of inventory.

InyaAzz Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 $3000 off puts it at 7499, which is where the black XB here was before it was marked down to 5499. I'm not sure why this XB12Ss was $5499 and the Black/Blue XB12Scg was $6499. $1000 in rims and translucid plastic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I called F&S in Dayton today. The one at $5160 was gone. They had 3 left choice of red or black for $5400 (1125CR) i asked why the price dif. I was told it had to do with how long the bikes had been in inventory. The cheaper ones had been there all year..... Didn't make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Are you really gonna take an aircooled sportser engine over that watercooled rotax just because of the paint scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Are you getting one? I understand the floor plan/finance, but for having a bike on the floor all year vs. a month or so for $350.00, doesn't seem like much of a dif. The the sales guy said, " Oh yeah, by the way the little plastic cover that goes over the pass. seat is missing. You'd have to get that if you wanted it" A perfect indicator of the attitude you'll have to endure for any parts. If I bought a bike, you can bet the Dealer would have to find the missing part.
