http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcharley/04_05_Line-up/ Not sure if you need an MO subscription or not to access the full text of the article. If so, here's the net/net of their opinion on the XB9SX: Regardless of how you feel about the see-through tank and fly screen looking like an iMac or the motor being a "9" instead of a "12", the 2005 Buell XB9SX is easily the best streetbike Buell has ever built. Argue all you want, but after riding all of the Buells back-to-back, it is obvious that the 9SX hits a sweet spot. Sweeeeeeeeeeet. |

"2005 Buell and Harley Davidson Line-up" hehe, I like that. Buell gets top billing in the headline |

"...the XB9 Buells are more pleasant to ride than the XB12 series, because of lower vibration, smoother power delivery, less heat generation, smoother shifting and a wider useable rev range..." ya know, everyone bemoaned the 9's when they came out and wanted more power. Now we've got 12's and the 9's are coming into vogue & getting their props. |

It has potential... I can't imagine all the color combos you can get dying the tranparent panels, or painting the underside of them.... p0p0 |
