They are both pretty much the same bike, biggest difference is the suspension and standard luggage, but you can't go wrong with either choice. |

I take my 1125CR and Blast off road. The suspension is the least of your worries, due to the tires you will find no Buell is great off road. |

Both are nice, Harrison But X model has 20 degrees greater steering lock (turning), larger diameter forks tubes, reinforced rims, longer suspension, and higher seat height than the XT. With your height and thoughts of some rough road riding, you might consider the X model. |

I agree. At 6'4", the X will be a better fit for you and you'll probably want to add a factory tall seat. |
