Kyri. I just looked at your profile. Very nice bike. I'm a bit confused. It's an 07 that is battle blue plastics? I could have sworn that color was 03-04 Only. Yours looks like 04 plastics because of the white BUELL.

Yea, must be swapped plastics because according to buell.com 07 only came in gay red. Very very nice bike man! Congrats. My 03 XB9R was my first as well. I've loved every minute of it.

well, "short" isn't on most menu's around here as a size choice, but you can order them. but if you ask to taste a latte they'd give you a short for free. which is still not $2.50 but w/e.

not like I'm bitter or anything.

Shim- yep, an '07 with Battle Blue plastics. They were switched out before I bought the bike. Thanks for the compliment- I think you might be biased, though =) What color are your wheels?

first street bike was a 97 m2. No problems. I had dirt experience though... and that helped a lot.

My bike is an 03. Looks just like an 03 in every way except for a chain conversion, 04+ mirrors. It of course has the loser silver wheels... I want Villain Black, maybe black plastics as well.

Hell you can wreck and rack yourself pretty good on a cycle that is only powered by petals.


Flower power?

Sorry... I couldn't resist

The old Schwinn Stingray top cross bar has claimed many victims I am sure. That bike was never meant to jump or BMX... Lord knows we didnt care... right up until it racked ya.

~Phoi, We may have the coffee, but you have Chili Cave Beer ! Be of good cheer ; )

I like the white best of all- anyone have white plastics they want to sell dirt cheap? Or give away?

Hmmm...

This bike thing has me kind of broke...

Well, bought a XB9SX on Saturday and have only taken it out on my street (about 2 miles lone) and I love it so far! Went up and down the road about 5 times (don't have my license just yet otherwise I'd have been out all over the place).
