I've heard rumors about an XB touring bike. I would bet its the same bike but with a longer swingarm and bigger tail piece and perhaps a front fairing/shield. The big IF. If it would be possible to convert a standard XB to the touring model with stock parts, just swap the tail and swing arms???

Alot of what IF's. But it sure the heck would be nice.

4 gallons of usable fuel capacity would just about make the XB12 the perfect touring bike for me.

Same here FP... We can get there by capping the frame like the FX bikes do. I think that's another .5 gallons.

I spoke with the Buell reps last December at the bike show in Long Beach. They hinted at just this type of bike when I spoke with them; I said I'd love to see an XB version of the Cyclone.

I totally want to see Buell make this bike!
