Bought my first Buell Two days ago and love it to bits.(Xb12Xt)(red)
Was riding a Honda Deauville but got so bored I nearly fell off.
Slight teething problem with the Buell though (at least that's what I hope it is) it runs rough at low speed-(You have to go slow sometimes) - :( But pulls well under a bit of throttle, Just a bit as I'm running it in properly !!
Will take it to the dealer next week. Fingers crossed. :?

They all do that sir. If it's too bad, drop it down a gear, oh, and feather that clutch :P

:yt: Use the revs and slip the clutch around town. Fortunately, the air cooled Buells have bomb proof clutches 8-)

Thanks all for your words of welcome.
I'm going through the process of officially importing the bike into the netherlands which is proving quite difficult due to all the red tape. :headbang:
I was looking forward to going for a bit of a tour about now but just my luck the weather has just taken a turn for the worse. :roll:
I'll let you know how I get on with the customs next week, I'm really looking forward to that !! :?

Cheers

Ja hoor, tussen Den haag en Amsterdam in. Close to the beach!! You're Ducth isn't that bad at all. Why do live in the Netherlands? I live in the South near Eindhoven.

Why don't you check out the Dutch Buellforum: www.buellforum.nl. (they will write in English to ya). There are a lot of nice people on there (like on this forum) and we like to party as much as we can. :twisted:
