Cool pics man.

But can you please edit your post to put a return after every pic? This places them below each other instead of next to each other so lines like this one will get wrapped properly. Thanks.

I like the placement of that HD sticker on both sides of the frame as well as the Pirelli sticker. Good job.

Eddie, must say i'm not a cityx fan but dude, thats sweet. Looks full mean. What are the tyres your running? Supermoto's are the gear. Most people ditch the licence plate holder but it sets the look of the rear on yours.

Eddie,

I love it! BTW, I'll bet your bike will beat the one Rigga posted! During the XB12 press launch we had a top Italian journalist/rider almost match the lap record for Supermoto on the Road America Supermoto course on a stock XB12S with lights and everything! The guy absolutely adored the bike, said it was the most fun bike he had ever ridden.

Guess what bike graced the full cover of the 100th anniversary edition of Motocyclismo, the top Italian magazine. Nope, not a Ducati, not a Moto Guzzi...an XB9SX CityX!!! Doing a crossed up wheelie! It's all about fun!!!

That is cool. I want one of the CityX bike bad. Unfortunatly I am forced to endure ; ) my XB9R for a couple more years, gotta get it paid for thats the rule in our house.

One of the neat things about being a friend of Erik's, being about the same age and sharing many of the same motorcycle passions is that it often feels like he is designing bikes that fit my tastes at this moment in my life.

fortunatly lots of other folks feel the same way so he gets to stay in business and keep doing it. Hopefully he will keep it up for about 20 or so years until I am in my 80's and stuck in the home watching videos!

Of course that means I get to retire and he has to keep working!!

Mirror is from R&R Customizing in Germany(60.00$), and the Pro Taper thing are just a pair of lower bars that i like that i also have on my dirt bike. I think my mirror and my bars are much better than the stock ones,but thats just my opinion....

>>>>Of course that means I get to retire and he has to keep working!!

: )

Ain't it a beautiful thing?

I am sitting here, under a photo in front of Alice's Restuarant of me with the first Buell S-1's in Calfornia with Erik's note "how come I do all the work and you have all the fun?"

My answer is the standard one I used to give my kids when they wanted to know why they couldn't stop doing homework.....

"Just because...now get back in there and keep working"

The CityX is the right bike at the right time. I am not sure it's been fully appreciated yet.

Court

P.S. THANK YOU

thinking out loud, how much would it really take to stretch the cityx's legs a little, longer forks with more travel ? longer shock with more travel(that's probably the tricky one) ? not supercross travel of 12 inches just around 8 or so front and rear.
