My girlfriend got in touch with Erik Buell for my birthday. She sent him a picture of my buell and a letter telling him about me and my military service. He signed the picture and sent me a birthday card. He is a great man. I've owed a lot of liter bikes and 600s and I have to say my buell is the most fun on back roads. Not as fast but more fun for sure.

I love my buell xb9sx. Just got it two months ago after 10 years of wanting one. Can’t get off the thing. Just love it so much.

Buell's make me think of American pizza. They might not really be Italian but they have most of what I love about Italian.

Funny, my first rides on a Buell were on that same road. Would go over to TSI and test ride a new Buell about once a month when I was about 18 or 19 years old. Thanks for the memories

92 horsepower at the rear wheel is for the XB12 which is 1,200cc. This is only the 900cc version. Still, I’m happy to see a Buell on your channel. I love my XB12Scg.

10 times out of 10 I would subscribe to a Ken Kaplan motovlog channel to hear stories about the MX days and the history of motorcycles in Connecticut.

Have you ridden the XB12? If so which do you like more in terms of power delivery?
@fvgc454ss4 жыл бұрын
Xb12 definitely has more torque. Xb9 revs a lil quicker and higher. Xb12 more fun tho. Wheels up easy.
@getoffmygrass69744 жыл бұрын
As a Buell owner, you want the 12, the power difference is night and day from the seat.
