You're going to jump from a 250cc to a liter bike??

ninjablk08 · October 22nd, 2009, 09:50 PM

i said maybe, not going in blind ,its a big jump, was looking at a buell xb12 and thats a big bike too

Sound Wave · October 23rd, 2009, 01:06 AM

beautiful bike! i agree that is a huge jump going from a 250 to a liter super sport. i can see how it would be hard to pass up though.

The Buell will be great for regular winding street riding, if you want to go 200mph then the Buell is not the choice. Do some reading over at Badweatherbikers.com in the forums. Also be aware that Buell is shut down and there may be no more bikes produced after December, Harley has committed to parts and service for 7 years and warranties until they expire. There are some real deals on them right now, wish I had the money for a brand new XB12XT Ulysses for a nice touring machine. Note that the XB12 bikes have only about 80 horses at the rear wheel, they also have 70 pound-feet of torque at the wheel.

All that said you should be able to get a really nice XB12R or XB12S for around $4000, you can get 06XB12X or XT used for $4500 if you look hard enough, and that comes with the luggage installed and ready for touring.

The 1125 R and CR are marked down to $5000 new at many dealers, so it comes with 2 year warranty. If you get an 08 1125 there were many fixes and recalls needed (from what I'm told).

ninjablk08 · October 23rd, 2009, 06:26 PM

i would like to look at a XB12Scg in red , there is a HD dealership here might go in to see if they have 1 if 4k might hit me well, yes i know Buell is done and too bad i like them and this might be the time to get it,there was a 03 Buell in CL for 2900 or obo

ninjablk08 · October 25th, 2009, 01:25 PM

well i checked out the R1 and have to say it took my breath away , needs to be re-set to my build,some softer springs ,maybe the stock one, cause he has all the parts before making it a race bike,i really want it

ninjablk08 · October 28th, 2009, 12:02 AM

looking at this bike this weekend,05 Yamaha R6

tc3jg · October 28th, 2009, 01:45 AM

good luck in your quest man I wish I could have gotten my upgrade before winter so I could catch those winter deals .....that black yamaha looks good to as well as your friends....Not fond of buells no matter how cheap I could get it for.

emilyLOVESlime · October 28th, 2009, 03:27 PM

Is that a Raven R6? (All black, red details) Its a hot bike. I want that one as my upgrade when I'm ready to take on a bigger bike

Zero260 · October 28th, 2009, 05:26 PM

That R1 is super nice but...... and I don't know your riding experience
but going from a Ninja 250 to a Yamaha R1 is flat out crazy. There is a HUGE difference. I mean SUPER MASSIVE difference. I say get the Yamaha R6 raven. Thats plenty of power to jump up to.
Just make think about it and make a smart, safe decision.

andrewexd · October 28th, 2009, 05:34 PM

I just upgraded to the GSXR600 and the power difference is huge. You can get to 80mph (indicated) in first gear....
