2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R (yellow)
Stands out
And if u don't see it u certainly hear it !!!
Bought brand new in August 07
With I think the performance pack, ( nothing super special ) but tooling , different seat , different ecm ( still haven't fitted as mech said for road use = yeah and shorten life) .
At 1k service got full micron exhaust fitted ,( I still do not know how neighbours and police haven't pinged me ) ( just a bit lucky I guess ).Ha ha.

I don't think I've ever seen a red one , I'll take a few more photos tomorrow , I've got a few but on different devices.
I have to say I took a while and quite a few test ride to decide on this even though I'd really decided early on that it was the bike for me
( they are really different and getting use to them is a challenge )( seams to be a common theme with me).

Here you go, Deuce ,
As said owned from new , not the only transport, even as 2 wheeled .
In 11years only done 25k on it (sad in some ways)
Only other thing done is fitted a ventura rack 2.5 years .
Used it to visit mum and sisters family not last Christmas but 2 previous Christmas es , and what a hoot and surprisingly comfortable and economical (didn't go on the boor along ,tried to pick back highways as much as possible)

Now you've made me want to use it tomorrow, ( if the weather's good ) just had it serviced , so it's so sweet atm.
I 'll have to think about where to set up ( but yeah I'm keen to hear what it's like from a different perspective to what I'm use to).

Some photos from today.
Beautiful day , can't believe we're only a few weeks away from winter.

Don't know how these will work , hopefully aill good, if so here's a few vids
And yeah always wondered why people you wouldn't expect to say , that sounds amazing do, now I know why.
The last pass ( coming towards camera ) was at 5000rpm , redline is for a bike very low 7000rpm , the pay off is absolutely fantastic torque
