i work at a motorcycle apparel shop. someone rode one of these in like a month ago. getting to see it one up close was awesome! the front rotor design is awesome! overall really cool bike!
A pop in the intake at the very beginning is not a bug. I have the same one on my xb12xt 2008. At the same time, the motorcycle can stumble sharply, as it were. I almost fell while making slow maneuvers
Fun fact. These were originally supposed to be turbocharged and at some point they killed that idea. The first model year or two even have the passthrough on the left side of the frame that was intended for the piping. I always wanted an xb. Was mad at Harley for a long time for killing off the buells.
Just bought myself a Buell XB12STT lightning super tt 2007. A year ago I had a 2003 XB9SX Lightning unfortunately I wrote the bike off... I am in love with these bikes
My dad had a buell blast 500 when I was a teenager and I used to take it out when he wasn’t home. I became obsessed with buell and the xb12s is a dream bike! Got a street triple right now but xb12s will definitely be the first to the collection
Pumped to see new buell stuff. I have an xb12 and it’s a perfect machine with soul. He chose to use a belt drive because he didn’t want the geometry changed to the rear wheel.
Now the younger generation loves big torque, low hp Buell would still be with Harley. V-twins have so much character when they rev higher. Buell is a Hell of an engineer. Sportbike guys just dominated the streets and market during that time period. It was when race reps came out for the public and they were cheaper and more exhilarating. Buell was ahead of his time. Sucks.
@@strongspeedworks speed sensor went bad, rear caliper seized, drive belt shredded. new wheel bearings, I suggest getting a EBR finned front rotor and hardware kit, and clean the pistons in front caliper, so far the engine is solid though
Ive been wanting a xb12s for years. One of the best looking and sounding bikes ever made.
@@MrYz250fman get one asap. They are great bikes. I’ve been riding all sorts of bikes but nothing like an xb12

Congrats and welcome to the cult...I mean club! I have an XB9SX that I rebuilt recently. Love these bikes and they deserve more attention. Iconic IMO.

Oh me too! I’ve watched a couple videos on the hammerhead and the 1190sx. Super bad ass bikes!
Buell the TPI of sport bikes with glops and glops of low end torque on tap. I got my eye on one right now
I learned to never let one idle on the side stand after it fell over
