So whats the deal between a XB12S and an XB9S? Other than 11HP in the manual?

9 revs quicker and higher, 12 has more low end grunt.

Haha ok well, when I'm used to an X1 with a race exhaust and forcewinder intake, will I feel like I'm riding a moped on the XB9? I just don't want to buy something I'm not going to enjoy as much.

I just had my nine on the rollers



I don't know what your bike puts down but if you do you can compare it to mine and decide for yourself

that's on a super flow if it makes a difference, I have heard it does matter but I don't know what is different.

Nope, you may even feel a bit faster than the X1.
You will notice however the torque difference.
