You're going to find it hard to get an open, unbiased opinion on Buell in here. Buell has issued some pretty serious recalls in the past, and I know I have a hard time taking them seriously... aside from being connected to Hardley Ableson.

Had the priviledge of riding a 2003 XB9R with the race kit from Morgan and Wacker in Brisbane Australia. My face hurt for three days after riding it from the smiling I was doing whilst riding the beast. I have never riden a more complete motorcycle. I can only believe that an XB12R can only be better given it is essentially the same bike with a bigger motor.

Tell ur friend to get a Buell Blast, then work his way up to a firebolt.

he's probably going to kill himself on a bike that fast.... i mean i only started on a 250cc streetbike and i thought it was awesome until i was ready to graduate to the 600s... i dunno it's up to him but that's a huge bike to start off with when you have ZERO experience...
