2002 Buell XB-9R FIREBOLT

Menus

Its designer, Erik Buell, can be damn proud of his concept. The device he presents us kicks sacred all concepts and domineering truths. Tiny in size, the XB-9R presents itself as a sporty and radical toy. Minimalist wheelbase and avant-garde technical solutions augur a sacred temperament. Its perimeter aluminum frame is surprising in terms of its size and functions. ensuring incredible rigidity and also serving as a fuel tank. The oil is contained in the swingarm. Wait, don’t rush. Look between the legs of the inverted fork. A huge 375mm perimeter brake disc. It brakes hard, but won’t that dampen the liveliness of the management? No risks. With a caster angle of only 21 ° (in comparison, a Ducati 999 can only lower it to 23.5 °) as well as a mini and very well distributed weight, the Buell can be handled with a finger.

By its geometry, the motorcycle is particularly sensitive to the slightest adjustment. Once adjusted and its user manual assimilated, the Firebolt offers intense driving sensations. Its block mBUELL XB-9Rotor comes as always from Harley. A big twin doped by Buell engineers leaving 92 nags. An air-cooled injection mechanic that is not stingy with torque and sensations … but which has lost its big American brute. This pure and barbaric character is seen diluted in a gain of length. Participating in the rigidity of the chassis, the engine vibrates less than its predecessors without making us forget its origins. Especially at the level of the typical Harley gearbox, slow and uncertain locking. We will especially get bored with the driving and the unique sensations offered by the XB-9R. The pleasure is omnipresent but the practical aspects unknown. It’s a toy, period. And for those who would like a little more watts and torque, the small American manufacturer offers its big sister in 1200 cm3.
