Author Message   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:18 pm:        I just got it in the mail. Was reading about the 999R vs GSXR1000 shootout, turn the page and low and behold, there it is! Billed as an Adventure Sportbike. Looks pretty cool! XB12X, highmount front fender extra clear windshield piece looks like it sits quite a bit taller in the ground clearance different tail, can't see it very well in the picture. Looks like it may have a rack for luggage? fork covers handguards headlight grille belt drive Pretty cool!   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:21 pm:        Well? Get the scanner fired up, lets see it!   Elff Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:24 pm:        Jerk Now I have to go out of my way to pick up a copy because you know I can't NOT have that mag I HOPE YOUR HAPPY   Kandie Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:32 pm:        It looks pretty cool. Might have to get one of those!   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:42 pm:        I can see it now, the magazine isle at Walmart being invaded by people in Buell clothing, fighting over the last issue of Sport Rider!   Canadianxb9sl Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:43 pm:        How about a picture on here???   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:45 pm:        yeah, like I know how to do that!   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:48 pm:        If'n I get out of work in time(which is kinda doubtful, 1st day back to work after a 3 1/2 week vacation ), I'll stop by the magazine store and pick one up, scan the picture in, and post it.   Kandie Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:50 pm:        It's yellow and black.   Bomber Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:53 pm:        hmmmm, not on their website (latest issue there is June) could it be that Dave got some bad KoolAid? :-}   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:56 pm:        Or would that be, maybe, too much "GOOD" koolaid?   Whodom Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 04:56 pm:        I think Dave just sold about 400 copies of Sportrider- he should get a commission from them! IF the new issue is on the shelf before Saturday...

I am going to have to learn about these darn computers someday. Where is Comp Todd when I need him! Oh, that's right, he's at work and I'm not.   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:14 pm:        on it's way Steve.   Fullpower Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:14 pm:        e- me a pic too dave. thanks. does it have pirelli tires like city x? handguards too?   Kandie Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:15 pm:        has handguards & passenger pegs (Message edited by kandie on July 18, 2005)   Jeremyh Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:16 pm:        ok steve just post the dam thing so we can all see it   Steve_mackay Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:19 pm:        http://www.brewcitybrag.org/index.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&pos=-365 click on the pic for a full size view.

You mean it will take *THAT LONG*   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:26 pm:        Once it hits the mags it's fair game.   Whodom Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:28 pm:        Wow, not even a cheesy spy shot, but an advertisement! Sweet! Thanks Dave & Steve.   Outrider Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:31 pm:        Nice, can't wait to see the real thing. It figures Sport Rider would wreck the surprise compliments of their not being a monthly mag. I assume they weren't considered for advertising or an early press release on the Street Rod or they probably would have messed that up as well.   Rosko Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:31 pm:        hmmm....looks like a drawing to me....   Jscott Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:38 pm:        Does this mean no sportbike for 2006? I guess if there was one it would be advertised in Sport Rider not the dual sport.   Santacruzmtman Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:44 pm:        I was really excited for a new bike, but this isn't really new at all. It is great marketing...they got a 'new bike' but didn't have to really do anything new. I think I'm just bitter 'cause I really wanted to see what the design team at Buell came up with next. Was this kinda the intention for the XB9sx. I mean WTF is city cross anyway. You just gotta love those Marketing folks.   Daves Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:51 pm:        So who wants the first one I get?   Whodom Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:51 pm:        It doesn't look completely "new bike", but there is bound to be more to the Ulysses than we can see in an airbrushed advertisement. Also don't forget a LOT of people here trashed the City-X when it first came out. Now it seems to be the best-liked Buell so far. Subtle changes made a BIG difference in the appearance and performance of the bike. The XB12X may be an even bigger step in the same direction.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:56 pm:        Dave, I am WORKING real hard on the boss...but concidering the state of my health...
