I am currently a 1125r owner, and there is a 2009 xb12s, with a 1474 revolution performance big bore, drummer exhaust,tail chop,custom seat and integrated tail light. he is asking 9 grand, is that a reasonable price? I used to own a xb9s, and loved it, but a 1474cc bike seems like a crazy torque mosnter.

The bike has 1100 miles, the guy selling is in his 60's and just wants to get it out of his garage so he can get a cruiser.

I sure miss my 12S. I say go for it. I bet that big bore would pull the gates off hell.

i am going to test ride it tomorrow, I am just concerned about the fact it puts down over 100ft/lb of torque

I use to have a 89 cu. in. 1998 S1W with 116 T and 115 HP I have 1125R now it is much faster. I had to feather the clutch on S1W when turning a corner from a stop light because it would break the rear tire loose so easy with anything in the road. I hope you like wheelies.

I have pulled the front wheel of the ground by not paying attention when I took off. It's not that hard to get the front end up.
