im on the fence on what i should do.

currently im on a S-1 with stg3 heads, xb9 pistons, and loving it.

however the bike cosmetically is a mess and its a little embarrassing to take to meets. the frame has some pretty bad damage to it on the left side, and would require replacment, and all the body work repowdercoated/painted.

ive been toying with the idea of picking up an XB with the 88" kit in it, as ive seen a few pop up occasionally for sale. i would like at least about 15% or more power than i currently have (guessing mid 90hp range, currently)

so my dillemma is this

ride my blast while i fix up my S-1
pick up a 88" XB and sell my S-1
pick up a 1125cr and sell my S-1

i know you guys will be XB biased but hopefully someone in here has experience with all 3 bikes?

its my main way off commuting to/from work/school and for pleasure. Blast is my backup (which is currently down from a blown headgasket :/ )

I have two 1125's, a XB, and a Blast.

Get the 1125cr, but don't sell the S1. Fix it up. You will regret not having it later after you realize how insane and awesome the 1125cr is, so the S1 will keep you on the ground. : )
