MO has an article by an owner who put over 12,000 miles in a year on his new XB12S. A nice real world story.

Read it this morning; good read. If the non-believers would read stuff like this, a lot more Buells would be sold. I guess this write up was by an MO reader, but they do seem to be Buell-friendly in the reviews they've done.

Gbrummet frequently posts on the Sport Twin forum. What cracks me up is the debate his started after his article. Did you see some of the posts by kpaul? He REALLY dislikes Buells. I guess all of us are inferior to his race ready Ninja 600. Geez...some people need to take a pill!

He REALLY dislikes Buells.
I can understand why someone would not want to buy one bike or another. There are bikes I wouldn't buy.
But, what I can't understand, is the animosity.
I've not seen a machine make so many grown men grin like little boys gettin' their first kiss, with the same machine makin' others meanern wet hornets.

He may have gotten his arse handed to him by an inferior XB12S on his superior race ready ninja 600 and wants to save face. lol. Just playing devils advocate.

Anyways, good to see an article that's positive on Buell.

Yes, its a good article, written by a guy who obviously loves his Buell. Here's his web page;

http://www.geocities.com/gbrummett/buell.htm

There are a few negative comments below the article, but the majority of comments are favorable. And Motorcycle.com has written some very positive Buell reviews over the years. Their editors (like Johnny Burns) definitely "get it".

I can't believe that Dale has gone through 3 motors, thats outrageous.
What oil were you using Dale
Has any one else had the same problem?
