We talking it [url=http://www.motards-online.com/forums/viewtopic.php?][TopicID = 1959] this [/ url] news, there are new in Buell in 2004.
The excellent chassis of the XB9 deserved a mill a little more height. For 2004, Buell therefore modifies the xb9, the XB984 mill (farewell the hopes of the V - Rod V2). In the program, 103 chariot for a couple of 11.4 DaN.m. The 1854cc at 45 ° cools by air and oil 1203cc named XB1200. Bore remains 889 mm, but the race goes from 794 to 968 mm. The compression ratio does not move: 10 for 1. He retains the same injection.
Note that the clutch was reinforced and that primary transmission of 1.68 for 1 to 1.5 to 1 then passes that the tiering of the reports of the box 5 speed remains unchanged. The dimensions of the XB1200 are also unchanged from the xb984.
To keep the most torque all the , the XB12 regime benefits Buell interactive exhaust.  Grosso modo, sensors monitor engine speed, the position of the handle and an active electronic trigger a butterfly in the muffler to adjust valve at best against the pressure by alternating between two gas flow paths. Low, and corner handle, the valve is so wide open to reduce the pressure and allow the V2 quickly take its towers. Mi plan, it closes half to scratch a little torque, and has full system, it closes to save horses. (All in a sound of hell;).
For the rest, very little change from the xb9. This new Buell is Queen of the 400DA and the weelies: 1320mm wheelbase, hunting of 21 ° angle, flat handlebars. The centre of gravity of this machine of 179 kilos is maintained as low as possible with massive aluminium framework which includes 14 litres of fuel (100 km of autonomy in making top as a rabid, 300 according to Buell...), to the swingarm which contains 2.6 litres of engine oil and exhaust under the engine (at the expense of the guard on the ground...).
It has the right to a fully adjustable 41 mm Showa inverted fork, and a combi to the same mark he also adjustable.
This beautiful set is slowed, or even brakes if it believes Buell, by brakes Torsion Zero to the 375 mm discs mounted ready for the rim and not around the hub, squeezed by a caliper 6 piston at the front and a single disc 240 mm single piston in the rear. Wheel rims ultra light, new design of the dressing of the meters, a nice bubble tinted for the R and a small fork rather than medium (matter of taste) s head.
Voila voila. Available in all good Creamery in more very long.
Ah, the price? 11000 $ The XB12R. Dionc a little more in euros in Europe.
