Photobucket have been messing with the format and i can't figure out how to upload pics,

As for the teapot being butt ugly i disagree i think mine looks great and is a nice colour and i am only rebuilding it into something special because i can!

I will probably never ride it but it is something to tinker with, and i am sick of having £10,000+ in a superbike in my garage and never riding it, i spent nearly £60,000 in 7yrs on new superbikes and that doesn't inc the 2nd hand bike i bought awell.

I'm going to have another go at uploading pics. :lol:

I intend to fit:

New tyre's, Renthal sprocket's, Gold chain, stubby lever's, Viper can, Katana heel plate's, Custom seat, Stainless header's, lot's of Chrome plating, Rezinced bit's & bob's, Braided brake line's, Some carbon fibre bit's already ordered etc etc.

I look at it like this i have been saving to pay off my house in the next 18 months so do i pay the house off or go buy a brand new superbike!!!

I can buy whatever bike i want when the house is paid for and i will. :lol:

What was it like?

The Buell XB12R was a great posers bike, lots of torque and would lift the front wheel at just over tickover, It would top out at 135-140mph, but the sound was mental with the straight through exhaust and under the dummy tank is the airbox with a vorticity stack big enough to get your fist in so the induction noise was incredible.

Just after this pic was taken i fitted a spring loaded belt tensioner after i snapped a belt and had to push it home 2 miles.

I should have kept that bike :(

Now that thought is worth quoting, and so true.

I didn't go near a bike for nearly 10yrs, from 29 to 38. Then a mate turned up at the house on a GSXR 750m, I had a quick spin and that was me hooked again.

More photos......
