I went to the Super Street Bike web page and they have a link to videos of the stunters. On the stunters page it also shows them on a couple of XBRs. http://www.teamx-treem.net/ |

guess they really like fire, huh i don't understand the whole stunt thing. sure, its not easy what those guys can do, its fun for them no doubt, but it doesn't 'look' good to me on big sportbikes. i mean, when skateboarding was breaking through waaaay back, aesthetics was a HUGE part of it. you had to look good AND pull sick stuff. all about melding style and innovation while pushing the limits. I tend to like watching the guys on trials and motard bikes though, more of a dance. The 'look' is better and the tricks are different due to more suspension. wheelie, after wheelie after wheelie (and whats with the legs up/out in the air bit? hahaa) on a big, beat-up bike that belongs on a track gets old to me. curious to see where the 'sport' goes, its def. popular. |

Everyone's got their thing. I really like that Team X-Treem has XB's in the photos on their home page, and a link to Buell on there as well. |

I agree with type one, having grown up in socal and skated with peralta, it was so dif in the old days,, image and style was everything, watching the new stunters leaves me flat,even though I respect their talent! Have been on the freeway with the boy's doing 90 mph wheelies between cars;not for me, but cool to watch! |

...................it doesn't look good on big sportsbikes Doesn't that rather depend on how good the sportsbike looks? The European stunt scene, and I assumed the world scene come to it, have a penchant for using streetfightered sportsbikes, which look every bit the part for stunting. Craig Jones was stunting on Suzuki Bandits before Buell hit the UK motorcycle scene. The looks of the S1's gave Jones a natural progression from the Bandit where looks were concerned. Great for Jones that the Buell stunted well as it happened but I'd bet Jones initial thoughts toward using a Buell were based on the S1's looks and he was praying it stunted as well as, make that even better, than it looked.

It's crazy, I was looking at the accessories offered on that site, and they're for pretty much all makes but Buell. What's up with that? |

The team x boys have been riding xb12's for a while now, like x1 said they are factory sponcord. those are the guys on the buell web site that did the stunts for that music video. They are really good, and team x usually hosts the biggest stunt contest in the nation stunt wars. |
