I have a chance to sell/trade my X1 for a reasonable amount of money into a new XB12 of some model (three to choose from). Is it worth it? Is there a big enough difference in handling, power, reliability to make the switch? Will I finally be able to do a 3rd gear wheelie as claimed by a M2 driver?

I made the jump. No regrets at all.

Demo, Demo, Demo. We get a fair share of tuber trade ins. There must be something to that XB ; )

I've had both.

Not much difference in power from the X1 to the 12.

Handling and build quality are MUCH BETTER with the XB. I don't miss my X1 at all.
