so i got to test ride my first buell. i had posted before asking the difference between the 9 and 12. i rode a lightning first it was a 9, it was alot of fun. i didn't like the foot pegs, but as i was shifting to get on the high way when i hit second hard it popped the front time up and scared the crap out of me. was not expecting that. the second bike was a 12 firebolt. i like the seating much better on that one. i was also much more cautious about taking off on that bike i was able to feel the extra power on it. it was alot smother getting on the high way. lots of fun. i got back to the harley shop and my wife had run over to wal-mart so i had time to ride another bike. so i took out a v-rod. that was a nice machine. if it wasn't so much then i would get one of them. but i need to get my buell. well hopefully i will be getting a bike soon.

Get the 12R. There is nothing like stump pulling TORQUE! the black ones are the FASTEST
