ok for the past year or so i had sold my sole to the devil so to speak I had been riding rice and went threw 3 bikes in a year. First one was an 01 kaw zx9r second was a 98 srad 600 gsxr and third was a 02 honda f4i. The zx9r threw a rod at 16,000 miles the srad gave me so much head ache it just wasnt worth it and the f4i well lets just say its not rideable no more. I love all bikes and i had a bit of a kocky strech were i thought if i went back to buells after going as fast as i was going on the rice bikes it would bore me but now im thinking back to my 03 xb9r and relize it gave me no truble at all i never laid it down and it was very fun to ride. So what i guess im saying is that i need to come back to good ol trusty buell as soon as i can afford one

I'd say get a horse,

If it breaks you can shoot it.

You also wouldn't have to cut yer grass if you tied it onto the front lawn.

I'd never sell either of my Buells, not for any I4 bike. They just got no soul.

well i didnt sell my firebolt intending on getting a rice bike its just that was what was in my budget after my exwife cleaned me out cuz i got the zx9r for 3800, then whn it went bye bye i picked up the srad for $1000 then when it pissed me off to the point of me just not being able to bear it i went and payed 2000 for the f4i. But i guess if i would have saved the money from all 3 and bought one bike i could have maybe afforded another used buell

At least you have a goal to work towards.

I have a series of challenging goals I've set for myself and getting my Buell was one
of them. It was a happy day when I got it, and an even happier one when I got to ride
it the first time.

I hope things work well for you and you can get your Buell soon. On a budget you
can pick up the m2's fairly cheap. Used XB's are more expensive, but still attainable
with a little patience.

Keep the faith
