I've only ever heard of one guy who owned one and didn't like it... and he was a douchebag.

I convinced a dude off a firebolt and onto a 08 600rr. He is much happier now.

He had to have his motor rebuilt twice though, so he wasn't much happy with it.

intresting... how old a firebolt?

I'm not looking for anything right now anyways.. I need a couple more years on my bike... but I'm 95% sure the next bike is gonna be a V-Twin... and Buell is rank'n way up there for me at the moment....

Yeah, the 600rr is sure to be much more polished... On all the Buell boards I've been on the Thunderstorm engine seems rock solid... The guy who didn't like his Buell also had some weird electrical thing happen that caused it to burst into flames while he was riding... He was still a douchebag.

If he had it modded up considerably that may be the reason... though I've seen enough turbo'ed XB12's to think it might still be a fluke...
