buells and ducatis

Re: buells and ducatis
The belt drive's downfall is they don't offer a stunt setup without going over to chain, which will cost 400 new... Powers makes a cage for em that works EXCELLENT.
Compared to ANY other bike I've wheeled on, the Buell has the largest window of balance... It is a great stuntbike, as long as it doesn't get slammed constantly into the ground.
Todd Colbert still stunts his xb12, Bubba and his partner, Craig Jones teaches stunts on a Buell (btw holds stoppie world record last I checked)
As much as I love to ride a Buell, I say no to stunting it unless you pick up a wreck. They don't suffer fools, they take more money to prep properly (stunt parts and upgrades), and arent as tough as a f4i.
Good luck with your choices......

Re: buells and ducatis
Thanks man! It's hard to find info on stuntin' them. I'm getting one soon, I think I'll stunt it a bit, but I have my KDX200 for practicing so I don't think I'll try new stuff on it. Hopefully that'll save me from wrecking it.
My friend told me that the frame pucks save it from most stuff though. He's a Harley dealer, and he has some guys that race them, and a guy that crashes them.

Re: buells and ducatis
That was most likely improper tire pressure, tweaked fork tubes, or loose neck bearings.
My X1's are solid as a rock at that speed.
Unless, did you have bags on it? That can cause the shake.
Oh yeah, and bent/warped rims or imbalanced tires.

Re: ducati 1098
The Ducati 1098 is a super bike manufactured by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. It is offered as the 1098, 1098S, and 1098R. The 1098 shares more design elements with the older 998 than with its predecessor the 999, such as horizontally placed headlights and a non-integrated exhaust system.
