interesting. I've been expecting that since the city-x came out. Not that big of a stretch unless there is something else below the radar... | ||

...the only good thing on the SX was the 984 engine...  | ||

Big whoops. The colour on the frame will be different. Think they'll put those goofy coloured 1200 engine cases on it too? | ||

An XB12SX would be very cool. Did you see the picture on the right side of the article? What is the guy on the scooter thinking to himself?  | ||
| Diablobrian |
It would be nice if they did the black case covers on it (and all the 12s for that matter) | ||

Where's Tq_Freak's bike pic when you need it? | ||

"What is the guy on the scooter thinking to himself?" He's thinking :I'm scared It looks like the guy on the XB is looking at scooter guy too. Whats he thinking? Captions for this photo, anyone? | ||

Great News!!! Buell in the Hyper Moto market segment at about the same time as HD gets into the Street Tracker biz. Wow, I am truly amazed at what these two can do when they want to. Both of my dream bikes coming out in the same year. Too good to be true. Wonder what, if any, changes will be made to the bike other than cosmetics? You folks are going to have a lot of fun on the 1200 City X. However, I am sticking with HD's Street Tracker as that is the look and basic performance I am after. Enjoy!!! | ||

Toona - If i wasnt at work right now I would be putting a pic up, I will make sure I put a few up of my 05 XB12SX | ||

I'd say that this fills the slot at least partially for a Ulysses Low. Next, swap out the tail sections and viola! | ||
| Beachbuell |
Now if Buell would make Uly bags for the 1203cc CityX I would trade in my XB12R in a heartbeat. | ||

Crud! I just unconsciously finished off all the chocolate chip cookies. | ||

What is the guy on the scooter thinking to himself? DOH! I coulda hada Vtwin! | ||

 "Is that scooter guy looking at my butt?" | ||
| Stevasaurus |
The scooter guy is a two-wheeled version of the plaid shirt wearing, minivan driving guy from the "Turn it Up" music video on the Buell website. http://www.buell.com/en_us/mania/videos.asp | ||

Notice both headlights are on | ||

I'm sorry to be unoptimistic here, but wouldn't a 12SX be the same as a XB12S with handguards, see through plastics, headlight grills, etc? No real improvements. Please correct me if I am mistaken. These are basically things you could add to your own XB12S. | ||
| Rasmonis |
I Just need to add the hand guards and the rubber X on the airbox to finish my limited edition XB12Scg City X. Funny I just asked DaveS today if the Valencia Orange airbox with the X protector is available. Hope to hear from him soon. | ||
| Tq_freak |
ok, here is my "Limited Edition" XB12SX    | ||
| Tq_freak |
Toona- here is my latest "flavor of the day"   | ||
| Rasmonis |
Here's a real Special Edition XB9 City X 300 made in UK.  | ||
| Xbob |
anyone here wear a motocross helmet on the street? | ||
| Aeholton |
I have one of these (motox type w/ face shield), but it is uncomfortable. Wrong shaped head for this helmet. However, it is very light.  | ||
| Xbob |
never saw one like that with a face shield. | ||
| Aeholton |
I ordered it direct from Japan. Not DOT, certified for Europe, though. Arai makes the XD model that is sold here in the USA. | ||

| Thespive |
I wanted to get the XD for the street because I loved the style, but other Arais don't fit my head right. Settled on the supreme comfort of the Shoei 1000. Too bad it is one freakin' noiset helmet because it fits great. --Sean | ||
| Toona |
Tq_, Nice flavors! Now if I could just get my hands on a spare "X", anyone have an extra one around? I'm even game for a A/B with broken corners, as long as it has the "X". Dan | ||
| Diablobrian |
Wow Toona, it took me a while to find one but no where near as long as you've been looking. | ||
| Sakuc |
That helmet is Arai Tour-X. I have one. Real nice, major problem is helmet noise, but that isn't issue for me. Having a peak to deflect sun and random debris is real nice.  And it looks damn cool with dark tinted visor | ||
| M1combat |
Isn't that "XB12X" a nine? I don't think there are any XB12's with black covers and no 9's with the magnesium colored ones.... That's just a CX... | ||
| Toona |
Tq_, I dunno how I missed the tank badge on the flyscreen on the latest black flavor, I LIKE IT! kudo's++ | ||
| Diablobrian |
Have they released any pictures of the actual XB12sx? all of the ones on this thread so far are member bikes or older ads right? The Raptors and rockets link references the release of the XB9sx and that's what is pictured there. | ||
| Tq_freak |
Toona- thanx alot, I was just trying to be a little different and thought it had a race look to it. | ||

On the helmet issue I ride a XB9SX with and Airoh S4 with a peak and visor in matt black only £90 and it converts to a street lid and MX lid as well. Not sure if it is available in the US. |
