Hey F_B - the trackday blur proves that even the lowly XB9 has enough torque to get me & bike rolling onto the front straight at PIR! Imagine the blurry-ization when I eventually succeed in raising engine power while reducing sprung mass (and waist size)...

Dude, if you haven't plunked down the $3500-$5500 or so you are going to pay for the bike yet, you won't. To help you in your decision (that you really should make soon - don't delay anymore!!)here are my stats:
5'11' 244
The Sunfire Yellow on my 03 XB9s took off about 10 elbees (or so I was told by the wifey)
Think of her like a puppy, you know "look at that big eyed face, look at that chubby airbox and that stubby way she stands there" |

5'8" and 150 pounds and I ride an XB12scg.
It's all about power to weight ratio...

I'm 6'1", 215, and I look dead sexy on my XB12... Did that make me sound like "Fat Bastard"...???

5'9' 248 (not fat) and NO ONE has said a damn thing about the way I look on my 9S. I have to say, it sucks at high speed, my shoulders and knees stick out a little too far. But that does not mean I'm not happy for what it is. Yeah, I might get a cruiser just so I can go on 5-600 mile trips, and a sportbike for flat out adrenalin rushes. However, I like the mix of the two in my 9. |

Freezerburn,
I just heard that he died. That sucks! He was awesome. Was it an OD? |

ft_bstrd: Mitch == Coke + Heart Defect IIRC. He was awesome. Saw him a couple weeks before he died.. And glad that I did. |

My friend ODd after being clean for 2 years. Most of the time, drugs are merely the symptom of other problems. Some of the best comedians have the most persuasive demons.
Sorry for the high jack! BACK TO US FAT GUYS! |

I think there should be a Mitch Hedberg Day. All escalators would be turned off (they would be temporarily stairs) and no one would wear turtle necks.
Oh yeah, I'm 5'8" and 205 and my bike fits me perfectly. Now if I were 6' it would fit just great. |

Big guy - small bike: Me (6'0", 215) on my TZ250:
OK, OK, it's not a Buell, but parked next to the XB-9 in the garage, the TZ makes the Buell look huge.
To make up for it, here's a pic of me on the Buell (which is actually my wife's):
