Buell? First post introduction...
I thought I would take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. I am new to this forum, and forums in general.
I am thinking about getting a new bike. I have owned, in the past, a '94 Katana, '85 Honda Hawk NT 650, and (2) '06 R6's. I am considering getting a Buell Firebolt XB9 or XB12, and am hoping that someone on this forum has some experience with bikes. I know that they are no longer in production, but I am interested in getting something a little more individual than a GSXR or R6.
Any feedback is welcome.
Also, a little bit about me. I am about to finally finish my associates degree after taking a hiatus from school for a few years. I will have a dual degree in Marketing and in Business Admin. I am looking for a job with a mobile advertising/wraps business or a job in high end car or motorcycle sales in the Fairfax/D.C. area, if anyone knows of a company looking for help."I believe in the Golden Rule - He who has the Gold, make the Rules"
