Let the buyer beware?

While I love my Uly I, like most bikers, always keep looking at other bikes. The one I have been looking at, for some time, is the Rotax based XB but only wanted the 10 version.

I thought I had found one but it has problems? Long story short the previous owner had done some things that would lead you to think it was a later year bike but was in fact a 09 bike trying to be a 10 bike. Not cool.

So I saved some money and do not need to fabricate a VERY clever story to convince my wife why I need another bike.

What's a "rotax based XB"?

The engine being the Rotax water cooled design rather than the HD air cooled version.

Well...they never built one which was why I asked. XBs were all air cooled. The rotax mill was only ever in the 08-10 1125r and the 09-10 1125cr.

Or were you thinking of the Photoshop concept picture that folks have been floating around here?
