I have a Buell XB-9R Firebolt, i like it alot, very well made bikes. Ive been riding jap rockets for the last 7 years, got bored with them so it was time for a change. Its not rediculously fast (95hp and 70ft/lbs) or anything but its a fun bike, handles great, and its far more comfortable then any of the jap rockets ive had. I say go for it if you can find one, im happy with mine. Here is a pic of my 9R…
I looked at the firebolts, but i prefer the uglyness of the newer lightnings :D. I really dont think i’ll ever afford one, unless one pops up at the auctions cheap.
