An XB9R-engined racer, like I've never seen!
Make sure you read both pages. All the specs are on pg. 2. The bike is beautiful. So's the ...ummm...accessory.

Whoa! Kool lookin'. Trilogy of Tech out the window, so it ain't a Buell, but it's definitely a better use of a Buell motor than a Redneck chopper is!

P.S. Buell needs to add "Svetlana"s to it's accessory catalog!

She is a beautiful machine, that is for sure! That is an unusual looking bike though.

I swear only half the pics have a bike in them??

But still, they may need to check their specs. Last I heard, there was no 6-speed available for the XB9(unless you count neutral)

Cool bike though. And the umm, other pics are nice too!

Look at the case. I'd say it's had at least a gear added.

You may be right, my friend.

One thing's for sure....That thing is "Built to the Hilt!!"(and the bike looks tough too)

Yeah, I think Svetlana is almost old enough to vote here. : |

Sucks when you know you have underwear older than the girl you are oogling.

Ft Bstard, that's waaaayy too much info.

Would anyone use it on the street? Sure, it's low and probably handles like crap around corners, but imagine cruising around town in that thing. It's gotta be a stoplight Grand Prix monster. It isn't anymore ridiculous that those OCC style choppers. Just add a license plate, and off you go!

I would be proud to ride that around town.

I would feel like a complete douche riding an OCC chopper.

Talk about a crotch rocket!
That has a cool factor of 10+.
I'd bet though, it's be hell on the more sensitive bits though, especially when you ran over something, say, a, cigarette butt or other road irregularity.
Since it is a Salt Racer, comfy ergos, ain't high on the priority list.
Make: Buell XB 9 R Firebolt
Model: Buell Firebold XB12R

Huh?
Svetlana, is stunning!

Glitch,

If you'll notice, there is a nice feature our northern brethren will appreciate on those cool ride days.

There is a nice cut-out to allow you to gently warm your "boys" on top of the rear cylinder head.

Sleez: I saw the stealth/dazzle camo XB before. There were some pics of it from a Hillbilly motors bike show in Germany.

I bet Jens could come up with more pics of it.

That bike, "Freddy Krugger's Phantasm", was also featured in the august issue of 2 Wheel Tuner. (along with the lovely Svetlana)

There is also an article on the "BuellCati" that I have seen a few times on here before.

Just thought you some of you guys may have wanted to know that.

Those bar ends are so low you'd scrape a knuckle before a knee!

Good looking bike, but why is it so small? It's a curse being 6'+.

Okay, so I read that it DOES have front suspension, but I can't see how. The clearance between the front fairing and the tire is practically nil, and there's very little room between the fairing and the handlebars. SOMETHING'S gotta move up and down, but what???

Interesting custom, but it's no racer.

"The clearance between the front fairing and the tire is practically nil, and there's very little room between the fairing and the handlebars."

It's a girder fork. The fairing probably moves with the suspension using the space between the bars and fairing cut-out. It probably has precious little travel, so the space in the cut-out is enough.

IT'S A BONNEVILLE RACER!!!!!!!

Ever been to Bonneville?





It doesn't corner and there are few bumps. It's designed to roll hard and straight.

For that singular purpose, I'd say it's perfect.
