Author Message   Scheith Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - 10:06 pm:        Today I bought a 2002 XB9R, I love it! best thing i have ever bought! now...since i have noticed it is way different than any sports bike i have ever driven can anyone give me some tips? riding tips? performance tricks? anything is welcome. Thanks!   Hoovdawg Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - 10:25 pm:        Congrats!!! Welcome to the family. As far as riding tips I've got one suggestion. After the Pirelli's are done (depending on your riding style, @ 3000-5000 miles) Get a set of Mich Pilot Power/Roads. I find that for my riding style (zero track/some highway/some beautiful twisties) they perform very well for the XBs. Go out for a few loooooong rides and develop a feel for the bike's SOUL. These bikes definitely have a life all their own, and once you know how they react to your inputs, they are the best experience on two wheels you will ever know! You can try the Italian flavor (which I feel is the closest replication to Erik's genius), but you will never get close to the feel of the road, and the absolute ease of maneuverability that is BUELL!!! My $.02 Cheers!!   Scheith Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 10:14 am:        Thanks haha, yeah i love it! i took it on a 200 miles ride the other day...amazing lol. actually when i bought it it was already rocking mich tires lol. But yes...amazing machine...
