I've got a XB12R that someone is interested in taking off my hands. So the question is, what would I get if I did part with my beloved 12R. Hmmmmmmm. After careful thought and consideration, I'm thinking if indeed this transaction does happen I'll be taking the new XBTT off the showroom floor of my local dealer. I've already seen the bike in person and let me just say that the pictures on the web/magazines do not do the bike any justice at all. I think I'm in lust.

I have to say I really like the TT. In fact, I'm trying to turn my Ss into a TT low right now. (I'm letting the paint dry on my seat support rails) Funny thing is, I've been trying to achieve that look since before I ever saw the TT. Good luck with the change.

If I could have two Buells I would have a Firebolt for short trip canyon romping & a TT for long trip canyon romping & everything else! Between the two (if I could only have one) I would choose the TT.

I think I'll hang on to my Scg (since I'm still paying for it : ) ) but I discovered recently that I can actually touch my tippy toes down on an Uly with the low seat so a TT is doable for me.

It just seems like the closest thing to a perfect street bike. Quicker turning than an Ss but with the same fuel capacity & better suspension. A little more height than an Ss but not the nose bleed height of the Uly. Though if I could have three Buells, an Uly would be the third one.
Ah Hell, while I'm dreaming make that four Buells so I can keep my cg

Cycle world said you should have 5 bikes optimally
1 For going Fast
2 Getting dirty on the trails
3 A short hop cafe runner
4 A touring long distance bike
5 An antique
my harley covers 3&5, Making my CityX do the rest : D
