I have a red and gold fetish.

Had this for a few months now, now pulling daily duty since I moved to Phoenix, figured it should get some love. AZ roads are a hell of a lot more fun that Florida's, but the lack of any water sports is killing me softly.

Nice Buell, I love the fact that its a sport bike with an Harley-Davidson built Motor.

Nice bike. What part of az are you living in?

[e30nub]

Look at those discs! Daaaaamn!!! I've heard very good things about these Buell's and cornering. Play it safe!

Look at those discs! Daaaaamn!!!

That is what I was thinking. Those are some big ass brakes. Nice bike.

[Tbolt]

I think buells are the most misunderstood bikes...
Looks very nice, I wish it was at least 50 F here so that I can start riding

Lovely bike. What's the pro's and cons to a single sided disk brake on a bike compared to a dual disk setup? That looks like it would pull to the right under hard breaking. But that's just from a stand point, haven't done research as I'm just asking for quick reference.

The only advantage of duel disks is that you will have less brake fade if you are riding the bike very vast and braking hard. It would not pull to the right because you only have one wheel, unless your bearings are gone but then that's the least of your problems.

Once upon a tinme, single disk bikes were known to yank the forks back and forth, like an oscillation. Everyone is past that shit now, but dual disk looks baller to most guys. It is twice the unsprung weight, plus twice the rotational inertia though, and single disk works just fine.

Fucking baller Beull, mang. Time to paint teh wheels on the E30 gold in homage...

Friend of mine has one of these in black I think, that is a LOUD bike. Looks great!

[BMWtech@mac]

Dude, I love the bike! I've been wanting to get one for the longest time but, ended up going the jetski route... Anyway, great colors also, I love the amber wheels!!!!

Thanks for the 2 wheel love brothas.

As far as the brake is concerned: "The new line of Buell XB models also incorporated the industry's first ever Zero Torsional Load (ZTL) perimeter floating front disc brake system, an "inside-out" wheel/brake design that puts the brake disc on the outer edge of the wheel, rather than at the hub. This design allows the elimination of significant mass from the front wheel, reducing unsprung weight, and enhances the abilities of the front suspension."

Fade doesn't seem to be a concern as Buell is campaigning it's current bike with the same setup (but with 8 piston caliper) and I haven't heard of any problems with fade from track day riders. There's no brake pull either, wouldn't really make sense since there is the single contact patch.
