went and test rode an XB12S last night with the race kit already on. I have been reading from all of you how great the XB is, and though I love my X1, i am ready to make the move. One of those exciting rides that gives you a big grin like your first time riding. damn i love these bikes.

I did the same thing. After dropping into the first turn on the XB demo I knew the X1 was history.

If you wheelie a lot, get the 12, my 9 really lacks low end power compared to the X1. However, at mid to high RPM it runs really well, and seems to have has a bit less flywheel effect than the 12.

Spatten - I dunno, I can't keep the front down on my 9. I blew the belt off it last weekend wheelieing second.

Toomanytoys,
Well that makes it easy!
Do you want a S or a R?

Nice! I have to sit on the passenger seat to wheelie first without serious clutch dump. Must be my poor technique!

looking at the XB12S in the Thrust Blue Color w/race kit (polished pipe). After everything good I have heard about Dave, i wouldn't waste time with looking for anyone closer.
