mmmmmm//////cherry bomb red XB12.....
specifically like this. tail risers and slightly lowered. I'd do some more choice mods to it as well (LED strip tail light, body LEDs, maybe a turbo.....)

starting point...

Seems like a good price, I think. I came across this ad a few weeks ago.

He doesn't want the blast... that's an anemic starter bike.
He should be looking at XB9s...

That exhaust is crazy low, never seen one like that before. And lol at the rear foot pegs, you'd have fun carrying a passenger on that.

the entire rear sub-frame is actually tilted at an angle, originally it looks like this:
weirdly, this is the only bike that I like that short, bull dog look.
as for the crazy low exhaust: all buell had them like that. I like it because it cleans up the back end.

I always liked the tube frame buells more than the later ones, but everyone says the reliability and build quality sucks.

it seems to be hit and miss.
once I fixed one or two issues with my blast it was relatively reliable .
then again I only had it for 5k KM, so eh.

I have yet to own a reliable and well-built motorcycle yet, so I wouldn't really know whether what the internet says is true or not. I like big v-twins and good parts availability, so I've always gravitated to the Buells.

granted I only have the 650, but i've got about 25k trouble free KM on it. + Vtwin!
and you can have it in 1000 flavour too
