Friend of mine rode it and said front brake was strong and progressive. No harsh initial bite. One big disk and 6 or 8 pistons in caliper.

Honestly Chip, i dont know...it had handelbars, not clipons. It did taint my opinion of the brand though....at least till I saw Nick's Buell, which was super cool. This new EBR I do like it though.
Re: No its not a Buell its an EBR
I never could understand the negativity around Buell/EBR. Why all the hate for an AMERICAN sportbike company.............. The ONLY American sportbike company.

I had an open mind and wanted it to be awesome..but it wasnt. The newer Buells and the EBR's are much better Im sure. (I hope!!)
Re: No its not a Buell its an EBR
And I highly doubt the the company being American has anything to do with dislike of the company.

Oh, I'd LOVE another 9s again. Just not going into 1,3, or 6. Other than that it's a great bike. Like EVERYWHERE else.
Re: No its not a Buell its an EBR
My XB was and still is the best STREET BIKE I have ever owned. It was a handful at the track to keep speed on & it was set up fairly well....Then it went BOOOOM on me.
I been thinking of getting another.
