Not computer related, but I am in the process of buying a new bike. I need to park my sportster to do some cosmetic and electric work on it and since I commute every day on my bike, the SO has green lighted a new ride (assuming of course that she can ride it and ride on the back).
Of course I love the HD EVO V-twins, and want something a little more canyon carving compatible, so I am looking at a Buell.
Here are the models I am looking at:
Buell S3 Thunderbolt 2000.
Buell xb12r Firebolt 2005.
Buell xb12r Firebolt 2009.
The S3T is really my first choice. I love the old tuber frames and the S3T is a really incredible bike. It only has 5700 miles on it as well. The down side is, it still has the original tires on it, needs a 5000 mile service and the rocker box gaskets replaced. I rode up to SF and checked it out Wednesday and put an offer on it. We'll see if he accepts it or not.
The firebolts are really a nice bike too. Much lighter than the S3T and one of the best bikes for the twisties on the market (well they used to be until HD shut Buell down). They have some pretty cool technology as well. What looks like a fuel tank is actually the cover for the air cleaner. The frame is the fuel tank and the rear swing-arm is the oil reservoir. It has a really low center of gravity and amazing brakes. The down side to the firebolts are the rear cylinder heat issues. Those V-twins were never meant to be enclosed in a full frame (originally designed and built for sportsters), so the newer models have a noisy fan that cools the rear jug.
I should know next week if I got the S3T. If not, I am on the hunt again.
