Thinking of getting a Buell XB9SX 2007 as a first Motorcycle?

Question:
I wanted to get other people input other then the "showroom" sales people and if anyone is riding a buell what do you think?

Answers:

When your motorcycle is running, is it charging the battery.?

My first bike is a 2002 Harley Sportster 883 Hugger and I respect her very much & I've had her for 2 years now.Everybody told me it was too much for a first bike but I didn't listen,I've never laid her down or dropped her.
My point is if that's what you want,get it,respect it and take care of it.Don't get crazy and watch out for the buttheads that like to pull out in front of you because I've had to lock up my bike several times because of some old person pulling out in front of me not paying attention.
It's true what people say,the other drivers are the ones you have to look out for.RIDE ON!

Some tips to be a good street or drag, motorcycle racer?

thats an extremely potent little hotrod if ur a complete beginner to riding...a bit too much of a hotrod. beginners shouldnt be on liter bikes until the next season. u'll wish u had listened because when the bike tells u its too potent, u'll be wrapped up in bandages.

Does anyone know of any motorcycle-specific pogies?

a sportster doesnt nearly have the power of a buell. plus the engine on the buell isnt like the 883's engine. a buell will get a rookie hurt just as bad as a rookie jumping on a hayabussa as their first bike. better to start with a 'lower power' buell for a season or 2 before upgrading to this 1

What kind of license do I need for a moped? (if any at all)?

One rule I have always lived by is that if you can't lift the bike from its side,then you have no business riding it.Yeah there are techniques to lift a bike thats heavier then you are but I still think that if you can't lift it you shouldn't ride it.All about control imo.If you can pick it up dead lift and you took the MS course your all good.Call me superstitious.

What size pipes?

If your thinking of this as your first bike ... can I have your TV Stereo and anything else of value .. because you won't be needing it .
This is a lot of bike for a begginer my friend , even experienced riders can run into problems but when your going as fast as that bike can go its game over ..
Have a front tire go flat on you at 60 miles an hour or have some jerk pull out in front of you at an intersection ..
I would start out with something a bit tamer and once your comfortable with yourself go for it ..
I love bikes and have been riding them for a long time but I also know from experience what they can do . Faster isn't always better .And when you take something that weighs just under 400 pounds and gets a top speed of over 140 miles an hour .well like I said can I have your stereo ?

Which do you like better: pocket bikes or dirt bikes?

It's a great bike.You didn't say whether you were a new rider or not.It really doesn't matter as long as you don't act crazy.Riding is easy so just pick out the bike you want and go for it.Good Luck.
