I chopped the CityX in......and got a 12S! I lost very little on the trade up - my dealership are really quite good (well, I guess I would be too if some goon bought a new bike twice in six months!).

The CityX was my first Buell and it rocks. I rode it in the wet once or twice and the zorst got a little rusty and some bolts furred up. I could have just replaced them but I thought it was a good excuse for more power so I traded up!

I rode the 12, and at first I thought 'Hmmm, too similar to justify the trade', but once warmed up you could really feel the extra torque! Front wheel up no problem, the SX doesn't do that!

Dealer is swapping my SX seat for the new one, I like the seat much more on the SX, anyone else done this?

Oh no! Just realised I need to run another bike in!!! ; )

The break in ain't so bad.
Don't lug it
Don't bounce it off the rev limiter
Ride it
Don't worry about it.
Just be easy for the first 20-30 mins so that the cams get a gentle break in, then seal them piston rings!
Congrats on the trade

Furry bolts are murder.
