After all I was told that it’d “fall apart by 10,000 miles!” Should have bought a Honda! So far I’ve been pleased with it all around. Only problem I’ve with it was it broke down on the way home from the dealer the day I bought it…twice! It handles like a dream, goes like a train and stops like hitting a wall! Easy to work on, 4 oil changes, two rear tires and a front last week! I still have a long ways to go before I’ll feel a need to get rid of her.

Yeah, it's done. Might as well throw it in the gutter. If you don't want to bother with it I guess I could take it off your hands for you. I won't even charge you a disposal fee. |

I guess that makes mine 6X done Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my XB, but I can't wait for the day that a bike comes along that I love so much that I'll hang onto it for 60kmi or more. Maybe teh CR will be that bike. More power to you guys. |

I think that's a common misunderstanding. They aren't "broke down" after 10K, they're just getting Broke In |

Everything started exploding spontaneously on my tuber after 10,500. Just don't brag about how reliable your bike has been or it'll happen to you! |

I'm still waay behind on my XB, but one of my tubers (95 S2) has nearly 18k on it, still going strong. I just need to finish healing, and get my new helmet in, so I can start racking up the miles again! I agree - a Buell with 10k is like our Cummins Dodge with 65k - just getting broken in |

I've got about 150 miles left til I hit 10k. It won't spontaneously combust will it? |
