Buell xb vs Kawasaki zx10 Mountain Run

[@teamgreen404]

I miss my Buell. That thing had me smiling all the time. I will have another one soon.

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Honestly after my ZX7 track bike bucked me off in less than a millisecond, I had feared the inline 4 cylinder insta-high side coming out of corners. Also why motorcycles come and go but the Buell remains, almost 2 decades on.

[@norseman5041]

Buell own the twisters, HP is not much help here for the big heavy machines. The XB9 revs faster than the XB12 (I have a 09 XB12SCG) love to ride this bike on Blue ridge Mountain and the Cherohala skyway.

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

Absolutely! thankfully most of this ride was downhill and the buell was able to hold its own. Uphill theres no contest.

[@13monkees]

That’s the exact bike I want. Any of the 12SCG would work though.

[@norseman5041]

@@YoSoyElAutismo it is definitely lacking at the HP, my XB12 has just over 100 hp with a race ecu and exhaust. I also have a EBR1190RX, the same ''bike'' with HP north of 185 is a beast. But, again, now with bikes over 200 hp in the same class, top end is lacking on the EBR.

That XB should be in its element on old 18...need to do a POV video of that ride, gas station to gas station (no stopping at the school, go all the way, lol)...should take 15 minutes...wink wink

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

old 18 is a favorite for sure!

[@ProperSpeed.]

I am from mooresville and ride on 181. i ride a xb12r we should link up sometime. got to get myy xb fixed thooo. hope to hear from u

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

I would love to! Unfortunately I sold my buell but id still be down to meet and ride

[@balconio1172]

LOL. so uh, did quadlock ever call...

[@kz6fittycent]

What year is your XB man?

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

2009 my friend

[@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco]

​@@YoSoyElAutismowhy did you replace the handlebar?

[@SkydiveHake]

You are a really good rider, very smooth. Our bikes make more power around 5-6k rpm, in other words you would be faster in a higher gear. Plus it saves wear on engine components and oil pump drive. Have fun!!

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

Thanks very much! This was with the race ecm installed so peak power was a little further in the rev range. Also I feel like Im letting the Buell community down but unfortunately I sold this bike and am currently in the process of building a metric (still v-twin) canyon bike. Ride safe and thanks for watching!

[@tommyescobia8381]

That was good!

[@YoSoyElAutismo]

Thanks!

[@thirdgearboogie2210]

Hell yeah! Baybee🤙

[@petedunning9871]

What a ridiculous compaison. The ZX10R has twice the horsepower of the XB9.

[@kweeliso3601]

In term of engine performance yes. But the skill/level of the Buell rider is waaaay over the guy on the ZX10 in the curves.... And motorcycle pleasure is all about riding curves right?

[@TheBuelliganRides]

It's cute how you think horsepower matters in the twisties. Horsepower doesn't get you up out of the corner. Torque does. And in that category , the Buell smashes the jap crap. Besides, the guy on the ninjas probably running through his top four gears trying to stay in his power band. I haven't heard the buell shift but a couple times. If this has to be explained to you, maybe you're best served by your ricegrinder... 🤡

Darn that zx10 is badazz😮😮😮😮
