Default Buell Firebolt XB9R

Hello all I was just wondering if any of you have any experience with this bike. There really isn't all that much information out there about them. I'm looking to get back into the bike world and I really like the fact that this bike is different than the rest of the sportbike world. I know it's not the most powerful, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a fun great handling sportbike. So if you have any first hand experience please let me know what you think.

Thanks

handling and brakes are awesome... power sucks.

it's still a harley based motor. even the xb12 feels underpowered.

sick stunt bike though

the front braking system is sick..

dry-sump oil system - sick...

fuel tank is inside the frame of the bike..

oil goes is stored in the swing arm..

ect... i like the bikes alot.. its cool to see a belt driven sport bike too, although, i dont know exactly how good that would be on a reg. track bike. they are definately different... go check one out at a dealer.
