Author Message   Cbig Posted on Saturday, December 04, 2004 - 01:49 am:        The Oracle (my M2) is pushing 40k+. I thought about replacing it with a XB12. Rode both S,R models. I found S was a bit more comfy but seat extremily cramped. Seemed like a good bike to get more aggressive in the turns - knees squeeze the tank a la dirtbike for control. R model had a better seat but the bars are not wide enough for quick turns and hurt my back as they're so low. Are there cures for this? I'm 5'11', w/a short 31'' inseam. Or- Is it better in your experience to keep the M2 and my money? The M2 I can fix and the money saved could buy a complete rebuild...What has been your experience? Happy with the switch? Happy but not worthy of the dough? Or-run out and do it now? Thanks , Chuck   Smoke Posted on Saturday, December 04, 2004 - 06:06 am:        keep the m2 and get a xb too   Brucelee Posted on Saturday, December 04, 2004 - 09:17 am:        The Corbin seat for the S gives you more room. Moreover, Corbin will build you one with even more room, ie they do some customization of their seats. I love the Corbin seat on my S. Get the S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
