skyminxx 0 #37 October 3, 2005 QuoteI didn't think I'd like the Buell but I love it. I haven't ridden it yet (I take the Rider's Course this weekend) but just sitting on it feels good. It doesn't put me leaning down (top heavy) like some of the Jap bikes I've sat on. Will let you now how I really like it after I actually get to ride it. mmmmmmmmmm.. Katie on a hot looking bike..... mmmmmmm See you Saturday girl!

katiebear21 0 #38 October 3, 2005 I love it!!! The course was definitely well worth the money. Made me a bit over-confident though. Thought I could hold the Buell between my legs while resting just like the little Honda Nighthawk I learned on... I only broke off a footpeg!

Conundrum 1 #43 October 5, 2005 I've always been a fan of Buell. If I were to get one I'd deffinately go with the Firebolt. Awesome bike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #44 October 5, 2005 It is. However, I really dislike the look of that pointed little quarter fairing. I'd do away with it and make the front-end look more like the lighting. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #45 October 5, 2005 Then a Lightning is what you would buy in the first place then. The ONLY "real" differences in the two are the bar placement and the footpeg height. The clip-on bars on the Thunderbolt can be bought for under $300 for retrofit to a Lightning. The riding position on the Thunderbolt if much more strethed out than the Lightning. The standard Lightning riding position feels more like a dirt tracker and it make for easier wheelies. The one-inch-lower Lightning footpegs are actually much more comfortable than the Thunderbolt pegs. As a matter of fact, there are a LOT of jap bike guys who retrofit Lightning pegs on to their ricers to make the riding position more comfortable. Personally, I like the fairing on the Thunderbolt and I would retrofit it to my Lightning if it were cheap and feasible, but I like the bobbed rear-end of my Lightning much better than the long tail on a Thunderbolt. Either way, I gotta warn you, I ain't running stock. Chuck Edited to fix one mis-typed word and to talk more about riding position on the two bikes.

Conundrum 1 #46 October 5, 2005 Nevermind, I don't know why I thought you were getting the two mixed up. Probably because I referred to the Firebolt and then you replied to his with the Thunderbolt. Der Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #47 October 5, 2005 Great Job! I taught my wife to ride on a CBR 900 RR a few years ago and we still have a CBR 600 F4i that we play with from time to time. If it is a little too "tall" you should be able to use a spanner wrench and lower the rear of the bike by "loossening" the compression collar on the rear shock. Some of the rear shocks mount on a moveable or repositionable lower mount to change the ride hieght with out affecting the suspension performance. But Chuck already new that and i am just trying to sound smart,. On a side note I like to follow when a sexy woman is riding on a racer style bike. (OK I am now looking over my shoulder for Chucks right Hook!)An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
