Search works a treat.

It does, but that only takes you to a search on XBs.

You will receive lots of advice over the weekend, sadly I'm never here to read the weekend posts, but rest assured after 7 pages of drivel you'll know that the only true Buells are the pre-XB series, that X1s and S1s are better than M2s, and a Mazzed 2001 X1 is the answer. Job done, saved you all that reading.

He's right. 2001 X1, preferably white with polished wheels.

Hey Moogy....

I have several bikes both Jap & German, but i also own an XB....when i take her on the road i always return home with a smile on my face and a hard on in my trunks....

Buy what ever YOU want...

XB every time baby !!!

Zed

S1 with recalls done, vance and hines exhaust , forcewinder breather + sorted carb. Better looking than an X1 . Oh yea , buy some spanners .

and ast shock and fork upgrade. even better just get it Mazzed

Bolting a AST onto your bike is the best thing you could ever do to a Buell. Buell shocks are adequate but the AST is brill
