Any rumors as to what is going to change on the 09s?

Have been way under the radar the past several months, regarding the wonderful world of Buell.

Thanks

Oh man, your title faked me out! I thought you had the scoop. 09 info has been unusually quiet...especially given this time last year the word was out.

There've been a few threads on 09 rumors on the Quickboard, but nobody's posted anything besides pure speculation.

My speculation? I think they'll reconfigure the underseat area for better airflow (fan runs less, seat stays cooler) and provide a new, quieter fan.

We are first in line at our Dealer of choice for an 09 X/XT/TT/??? depending on changes.

I suspect LARGE announcements at Homecoming.

We should know this weekend!


C'mon 1125S! C'mon SuperUly!

Oh lord help me if they make an 1125 Ulysses.

I'll think we'll see an "S" model first, but eventually, I'm hoping they release an 1125 Ulysses.

09 xb9 adventure bike ; ) of course I have been riding it now for over a year and a half.

And just to stir the pot, maybe a spring release of the 450 Dirt bike in DS/SM format, no f'n MX ...

All the rumors that are fit to type, welcome to the internet.

I'm all for improvements, but personally I hope if they do an 1125 ULY they continue to offer it with the current drive train also. One reason I chose the ULY was to get away from valve adjustments.

I'm on the smaller more off road theme CityXslicker is going. If the off pavement way is one Buell wants to explore they need something to compete with the BMW F800GS. A 21"front, 17" rear, belt drive V-twin would kick the fire road grime off a F800 GS with some Buell engineering.

I run her pretty hard on fire roads, forest service roads, county access, power line maintenence roads, and any wagen wheel chuck that piques my interest. I am sure I am WAAAAAY outside the company line on what a City-X should be used for.

Good Looking Ride

How does the clearance between the muffler and the road work out?

I bottom out, there are some pics on here about the abuse that the race can has taken. I have since put on a touratech bash plate. I only have 3.8 inches of clearance.... IT SUCKS being Short.

I have a 29 inch inseam and I am on the balls of my feet on the bike. It is a custom seat from a local shop, I have not measured it, but it gets the job done for me. Gel inserts are nice too.
Measurement to come next posting
