Found at Motorcycle.com...
Scroll most of the way down.

Last month I had the opportunity to ride all the Buells at a Buell test event in the N., GA Mountains. The twists and turns of the area were a perfect area to demonstrate the bikes. My favorite was the XB9S Lightning. After 20 plus years of riding street bikes (mostly Jap) and having owned 30 plus bikes ( 5 in the garage now) I was impressed. What makes this more impressive is I am a self proclaimed Harley hater. I was shocked at how it handled corners and had very usable power. Torque my friends gets you outa corners. It is an easy bike to ride and gives me a big smile. I came home sold the SV650S and bought a XB9S. Try one before saying they are not a great bike. This is a bike for real world riding not for winning spec sheet comparisons

The check is in the mail
Thanks
Eric
Comeon dude, you sold the SV for for the XB, Do you have any pictures to validate it.


Yes I did sell the SV for the Buell XB9S. I am also happy I did. Not a bit of sellers remourse. You want pictures? Is it hard to believe I would buy the Buell that has more torque, and handles better and sell the SV? The question seems why wouldnt I buy one?
As I said I am a self proclaimed Harley hater since the 70's. Ride a Buell. I thought it was a piece of crap till I did.


We done good!

LOL. Now that's good aiming. Talk about your target fixation. There's nothing like learning to ride on a bike you can barely touch ground from, wearing a tank top, shorts, sneakers and NO HELMET. Beautiful!
Hope he learned a lesson without too much injury.

I think you have to have the latest version of windoze media player. Also make sure you set the media player to download codecs automatically. Also try right click save as.
Other than that
