Thought I'd let you fellows know us Brits are just as pissed as you are in the states about the wankers at HD. Just a week back I finally got a XB12scg and I'm hooked, I can most definitely see how people are bonkers about the company going down, with all the mass centralization bits. I choose this bike over my rsv4 anyday of the week, the sound, the power, the looks, the feels. It was like looking at a girly mag for the first time...like a deer in headlights. And so far I'm loving this site, absolutely brilliant, like the Constantinople of the early ages, only in ones and zeros, the capital of all Buell owners. Still loving it!! And the bike!!
Cheers!! Steve.

Welcome! I keep forgetting that these bikes are the exotics overseas! Hahahaha! They handle great, but there are a lot of RSV4 lovers (or wish they had one) on here, myself not excluded. I had a Falco before this and loved that bike, but the Buell definitely has a rudeness to it that feels comfortable...almost like it talks back to you when you're riding and you have to be in control. It feels good to pilot the machine rather than the other way around. Again, welcome!

Welcome! here's a bit of irony for you- my last bike was a Triumph!

Welcome to the madness!

Yeah, my poor rsv4, I actually reckon I'll sell it, sure its got fancy gadgets and looks nice, but I cant get off my scg. Besides its a hell of alot easier to get around London on the XB instead of the big fat Aprilia, I just think of turning and it turns,by the way, what are good aftermarket pipes? I love the way Spec Ops and Voodoo pipes sound but being as they're made by normal riders stateside are they impossible to get over here in England? I live in Chipping Ongar (Epping Forest) which isn't too big of a village so I wont be pissing everyone off, just the few next door to me. But being as I work in London do they make removable Db killers for Spec ops and such?
Thanks Much!! Steve

Special Ops is working on some DB killer inserts. But I don't think he has completed testing yet.

As soon as there out I'm hoping to get a set to test with my spec ops pipe.
I love the way that pipe sounds, just wish at times I could mute it a bite ( early mornings )

just shoot Odie an email off the site, I'm pretty sure he ships overseas, but naturally it won't be too cheap.

Good luck and enjoy your SCG!!!
