XB9S

My friend Scott's step son is currently in the military. He got his first motorcycle a few years ago and we helped him rebuild it and make it run, well ok, we pretty much rebuilt it and made it run. It was a Honda 360, I think about 1977 maybe older. It was an ok bike. He sold that then found another 360 and we did the same. Well time came for him to join the Army and he sold that. Now that he is in the Army and making some cash he purchased himself a new bike. He got a Buell XB9S, it is the biggest POS I think I have ever seen. We moved it from Scott's parents garage as they are coming home this week. I followed him as he rode the bike and it looked really uncomfortable. Scott said that it was the biggest dog he ever rode. Roman seems to think that his Buell will blow my Warrior away. With the discovery yesterday of a Cobra Fi2000 installed, this is a fuel injection controller. I am really not worried. The bike stock has over 100 Horsepower. With the Stage 4 kit, new pipes and the Fi2000 I am probably pushing over 110 HP at this time. I got flames out of the pipes last night! I just cannot see why someone would want a cafe style motorcycle. I think the styling of todays big cruisers just looks so much better then the crotch rocket style bikes, plus if you can get a cruiser with over 100 horses, why would you want a rocket?
