For a while I’ve been debating back and forth about getting a motorcycle but finally gave in to temptation and got one. It was just delivered today, a 2008 Buell lightning XB12Scg, cherry bomb red.

[quote=“Jack,post:7,topic:36000"”] Thats BA. How does the power feel compared to an R6 or R1? [/quote] I’ve never riden either of those, this is actually my first bike and the one i’ve wanted for years. 103hp and 83-84tq, 395lbs. It’s very torquey, easy to lift up the front. here’s a pic from the front, sorry its dark: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/4/c4ff3e7fa846b708dfe6fe181b33a280425a037a.html) ---
