Buell Demo day at Danbury HD today, checked out the 09s. Didn't get a chance to demo the Ulys as they all got taken. Here are some things I noticed that haven't been mentioned. They have a new kick stand on the 09 X, the foot is effing huge! It looks like Tiger woods can use it as a putter in an emergency. Good luck sinking in the mud now...  It looks bigger than the one on the 08 XT. Forgot to compare it to a 09 XT.  The new pegs sure look grippier (is that a word?), but I am not sure if they really are, as it’s been a year since I last Uly'ed.  The engine cases are blacked out like the other XB's, but the frame is still grey like always while the XB's have a black frame.  Oh yea, thank you Danbury HD for another great event! | ||

Froggy- Here's a photo of my 07 footpeg next to yours of the 09. I A/B'ed them in my local dealer; the 09's are definitely grippier. The "nubs" on the footpeg surface are sharper-edged and the finish is anti-slip.   | ||

Heck, it's the same peg! You could take a dremel tool and make the old pegs twice as sharp as the new ones. | ||

To me it appears there is an Angle on the nubs on the 09, higher in the proximal sides p | ||

Pauly- On second look, I think you're right. The angle on the nubs would tend to keep your foot from slipping off towards the outside end of the pegs. | ||

Are those pix from a 2009? I'm asking because it looks like it's a black bike. The X and XT, according to Buell's website, will not come in black for 2009. *shrug* | ||

The bike is a orange 2009 XB12X. | ||

ah, sorry about that.... looked at the X again on Buell's site and the bottom piece is black. Thanks for the pix and info on the 09. |
