| Below: My 2006 Buell XB12R Firebolt. After 6 years of Hayabusa ownership, I was ready for something very different but still a whole lot of fun to ride. I wanted a motorcycle that was very light, but with a powerful, especially torquey engine. After years of putting up with 6,000 mile to 12,000 mile valve inspection intervals and major tune ups costing $500+ a pop, not to mention dealership mechanics that don't know their ass from their head, I also wanted a bike that was low maintenance and simple to own so I can do most if not all the maintenance myself. The Firebolt fit the bill perfectly. It is nimble, a lot of fun to ride, with a wonderfully torquey V-Twin engine. I have fitted my Firebolt with a Zero Gravity ST screen. |
