Duff it's good to see some more people abusing these bikes How do you find the R wheelies compared to more normally weighted bikes ?? I find it very heavy to pick up off the side stand, the MOT tester said the bike is very heavy on the front. When I have the front up, it's quite a balancing act ? As in the ball is at the end of a stick rather than the ball in my hand with a stick coming out of it, does that make sense |

Hehe thanks guys. Yeah the 1125 is definitely a heavy bike. The power makes up for some of it but I still think I had more fun on the 12R as far as all around fun. I've never had an inline 4 of my own but they're a totally different riding style, with alot more top end. Anyways, checkout my other vids for more Buell action. |

I think it's a total disgrace. How dare you. Oh, no wait, what I meant was "Damn, that's not fair - I can't do that"..mainly due to a lack of talent... |

I dig the action, do the wild young man and his motorcycle thing, and I know this won't sink in very far, but for your own sake wear the jacket and other real gear all the time. As you keep pushing the limit to hone your skills, gravity will win at some point (yes it will) and you're going to be hurting. Bad. Look at some of the injury/road rash videos too. Just talking reality here. |

Also hows your belt holding up ?? I split my last one clutching up in 2nd and 3rd. The teeth part of the belt seperated from the back (with Buell written on it) in a number of places, no damage to the teeth though ?? My current belt looks fine(been on this whole summer)but i only power up in 1st and 2nd now. |

I dig it! I've never posted that stuff of due to most buellers being older and not having very much respect for this type of stuff. Keep in mind I said most buellers not all! |

You guys crack me up. Buells are definitely a drug. I've had 3 of them. Never had any belt problems. I've put about 25k miles on each XB I had and now about 5k on this one. But I don't power wheelie, always clutch up. It's quicker to balance point that way |

Hey Duff good to see you using that bike! I thought I recognized the mods in the video. I listed that for my buddy when you bought it. |

The only reason I don't wheelie is I weigh damn near as much as the bike makes for an unstable lift off if ya dig |

Duphuckincati I have 12 years on you and still can't keep the wheel down. Don't want to wear out the front tire. |

I am a youngster kinda I used to wheelie up and down the freeway, it got boring!!!!! Wheelies are "cool" but I like turns better! I just Get way more stoke from banging corners and bending through twistys now than any weelie on or off public roads. Have fun though in California it's a grand and possible impound if caught up on one front or rear |
