Author Message   Bagoxcalum99 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 10:04 pm:        Went to the HD/Buell dealer today (Kegels in Rockford, IL) and happened to see a XB9SX sitting in the showroom. I threw a leg over it and man, it felt awesome! The layout of all of the controls is perfect! The riding position is spot on as well. I'm strongly considering going back next weekend and buying it! Matt   Mr2shim Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 10:30 pm:        You can sit on bikes without asking? Wow. If anyone does that at the local HD/Buell dealer they'd get shot. I've never sat on a City X. Looks comfy.   Brad_buell Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 10:31 pm:        I Strongly Recommend that you buy it...........!!!! You'll Love it!   Bagoxcalum99 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 10:54 pm:        Oh, believe me, I made sure to ask before I sat. Matt   4cammer Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 11:01 pm:        Matt, from what I have heard Kegels is one of the best Buell shops in the Illinois area. Anyone here have an opinion on them? I was planning a run up there sometime this summer - I live in Aurora.   Packrat Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 11:04 pm:        Buell is Cuell...   Americanmadexb Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 11:15 pm:        ask to sit on a bike at a dealer??? never heard of that... i sit on whatever.. If a dealer gets mad at that they wont get my bussiness anyways! Thats what there there for!   Simple Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 11:17 pm:        Zylstras in St.Charles has signs all over the floor that say "please sit on our bikes". all the bikes accept the 'custom choppers'.   Cityxslicker Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 12:50 am:        it is helpful that there is someone around... three years ago a customer sat on a bike and dragged foot off the non kickstand side of the bike, bike came with them, toppled, and they fell into another bike, knocking it over, luckily there were only two bikes in the domino affect. The kicker is when they tried to sue for injuries, we did have a sticker that said ask for assistance. They did get a Duh award. And a special spot on our security cam review. Key is, if you dont know what you are doing... best practice is to ask . More than happy to have you sit on em, and hell if you have your endorsement (and the weather cooperates) DEMO! Sitting on the bike will tell you volumes more than any brochure or website stat sheet. Try em on for size! +1 for the City-X, I know I love mine.   Skinstains Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 07:12 pm:        I couldn't immagine buying a bike that I haven't ridden, let alone sat on. That's crazy.   No_rice Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 07:17 pm:        Zylstras in St.Charles has signs all over the floor that say "please sit on our bikes". all the bikes accept the 'custom choppers'. hmm, didnt know that. although i havent been up there for work in awhile. at our ames store they say please ask for assistance. but our show room is ALOT smaller than the new store in st charles   Dick8008 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 08:16 pm:        I always sit on them too. Never been told not to either. Of course I'm not jumping on and stuff, done with ease and respect I guess.   Bagoxcalum99 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 08:20 pm:        I'm wanting to buy from Kegels since my brother bought his bike (07 Sportster Custom) from them. He was very very pleased with his buying experience.   Glitch Posted on Monday, July 14, 2008 - 09:59 pm:        I bought a Buell once...   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 12:34 am:        quote: I couldn't immagine buying a bike that I haven't ridden, let alone sat on. That's crazy. I must be insane then, I bought both my Buells without any ride. Hell I bought my Lightning without even seeing it till after I bought it!   Mr2shim Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 12:51 am:        I bought my bike with only hearing it run for 2 seconds. My wife heard it run longer than me before I gave him the check. Didn't regret a second of it.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 12:54 am:        We don't mind folks sitting - properly and carefully. It's when they smear hot dog fingerprints all over, trying to see if blue feels any different than red, that we get a little tweaked. Women with lots of rings on make my teeth start to chatter I get so nervous...   Thespive Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 01:02 am:        The CityX is the most fun machine I have ever piloted (I review vehicles for living, I drive a lot of machines). I think you should buy it - and be prepped for a shit eating grin every time you hop aboard. --Sean   His_and_her_buells Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - 04:10 am:        Matt, from what I have heard Kegels is one of the best Buell shops in the Illinois area. Anyone here have an opinion on them? I was planning a run up there sometime this summer - I live in Aurora. Kegels is definitely the best dealer in Illinois we've been in. The most Buells in stock and the only one to stock any Buell clothing. Last time we were there (on the way to Homecoming) they even had 3 very nice used tubers for sale.
