Just wondering if anyone else is a motorcycle junkie out there. I always start getting stir crazy around this time of year. It's been too long I wanna ride.

If there are any others on the forum what do you ride?

This is my other passion besides the fishes.

2003 Buell XB9S Lightning that I converted the tail section to that off a XB12R. For anyone that doesn't know buells, It's basically the sports bike divison of Harley. Take a harley V-Twin engine and shove it into the shortest wheelbase possible and you have a mean bike.

I am into bikes as well..... however my bike is similar but yet totally different then yours. Take that harley v-twin then throw it on the longest... heaviest frame & also add a CD player, XM sat & all that stuff. I have a 08 ultra classic which is being traded in on a 09 in a few weeks..... just waiting on it to arrive.

I have been wanting a sport bike for years..... hopefully this year or next year I will finally buy one. When I do, I will take it to a roadcoarse for some fun

I also have a 1999 yamaha YZ400f for motorcross/trail duty. Something else that I need to update......

Then there is mtn biking......

I was shocked that Harley purchased MV Agusta

I just got my permit last October I picked up a 96 CBR F3 but I may upgrade this year toward the end of the season.

Ya, the buell may not have the top end of the Jap liter Bikes but it shure has the get up and go, pulls like a son of a gun to 100 if you can keep the front wheel down.

I like twin powered bike's because of the torque they have. I was looking at the 08 Buell as well as the Honda's and Yamaha's.both my parents ride Harley's so they wanted me to get the buell. I had a cbr 600 f4i before this one. I really like the reliability of the Hondas.

lightningfront · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2009, 19:47:00 »

That is true. I had a 2001 GSXR 750 before the buell and never had a problem with anything. But, I've had the Buell for 2 years and haven't had a major problem yet, we'll see.

Probably gets like 100mpg though. I get 50 on mine and I'm happy (I can get 60 but I have a heavy wrist).

Looks like everyone has sport bikes, but if you like OCC, heres a few pics to drool over. This is a bike built by the guys for Northrup Grumman. I work on the B-2 for USAF and got to check it out at Whiteman AFB. The fabrication shows are suppose to air around april i think on discovery channel.

Sorry for the Flame of pics
