I actually like the new colors all around, except for the Yellow XB12R. It doesn't look as nice as last year's XB9R.

And I agree that the new Cherry Bomb Translucid is way cool.

No major changes for the 07 lineup, surprise surprise. But, I really like the new choices in colors they have come up with for 07. My personal favorite is the triple black SS long, sweeeeeet!

Yeah, the Cherry Bomb is da Bomb.
I also like the tinted windscreens on the Firebolts.

I'm really liking what I see. . . it's what I call a "breathing year" and, in my little mind, this gets me excited.

The current range is nicely sorted out and details, not sweeping changes, were in order. These kinda years also reassure me that, regardless of how hard they were pushed, a couple folks stuck to their guns developing things rather than rush them into the market.

I know a LOT of smart people that are very busy and I'm betting it has nothing to do with colors and styling.

Nicely done.

The Pirelli tires, the best change they could have made.
I wonder what it took to get away from the Dunlops.

PS - I hope the motorcycle magazines test these bikes with the new tires. They'll find a completely different motorcycle. One they will love.

Us, basically.
If we (the general public) don't buy something, whats the use in offering it?
How many threads mention the stock Dunlops suck?

From the website for the 2007 Firebolt:

"New Airbox Cover Design: The revised design of the inner airbox cover increases airflow potential to the engine without adversely affecting intake noise levels. "

Any ideas on what they might have changed this year?

Cool, theres a new rainsuit and two new pairs of goggles.

It doesn't look like "American Motorcycles" in on any of them now.

SOB!! Guess my all black SS I was going to make by getting rid of these damn gold rims won't be unique now!!
I do like the red rims too - but they are $39/ea more then the black...

Looks like there is no replacement for the race muffler

Oh yeah Buell listened and took my advice! I took the "American motorcycles" sticker on my cover and left teh Buell letters. Think it looks 100x better. Whoo-hoo!

It looks like I made the right decision trading my 03XB9S for a leftover '06 XB12R last week. I saved a couple grand and didn't miss out on anything of consequence on the '07's.

Drat, no 6 speed trans. That would have sold me for sure. Time to wait for '08s.

Sport seat AND Saddlebags for the Lightning Long! It's no longer the "Red-headed stepchild" in the line up. No "Firebolt Long" though. Too bad, that would've been HOT!

Bads, That bike is a confusion of design to my eye. That pointy thing on the left front of the bike is just heinous. Looks like they forgot something and added it later.

I thought Benelli went out of business? Plus I don't think any of their bikes were ever officially imported into the US, although there are a few Tre's that snuck in somehow.

There is a Benelli dealer right here on Long Island and they have the full range of TnTs and Tornados available. Personally, I love the look of the TnT, but then I find Buells attractive too.

I really like that cherry bomb red, think it looks sweet. I also noticed that they got rid of the american motorcycles decal under the Buell logo, I wonder why they did that? now everyone who is not in the know is really going to think it is German/Italian
