Well, they do handle pretty decent, but you have to get a 900+ to just BARELY stay ahead of a Kat 600. However, they do have a lot of low end grunt. But they run out above 7K. My step-brother has an XB9S, so I know about both the handling and speed. If HD would let Buell make their own engine, instead of making them build a frame around a sportster engine, they could probably build a really nice bike.Need4Speed750 said:they ride really hot too for some reason..I just dont see any nimbleness though about em..or quickness for that matter..they're pretty doggish from the ones I've ridden a few times..just not my cup a tea.
Yeah, Ive only ever ridden a Blast, never a lightening..but just didnt really feel the difference, performance wise would be all that much change, but since i dont know first hand, I couldnt say for sure.Captain Morgan said:Well, they do handle pretty decent, but you have to get a 900+ to just BARELY stay ahead of a Kat 600.

A blast is nothing more than a hopped up scooter. :lol:Need4Speed750 said:Yeah, Ive only ever ridden a Blast, never a lightening..but just didnt really feel the difference, performance wise would be all that much change, but since i dont know first hand, I couldnt say for sure.
Captain Morgan said:Hey Brad, I see you finally made it to the site. You won't find much info on Buells in here, but I think you already knew that. However, come join us over in Off Topic and other sections. The other guys will give you crap for owning a Buell, but hell with 'em.
