Yep - up on buell.com.

Looks like Dyna was right about a low XB12S (the 12Sg).

I do like the fact that on the 12S and 12R they've upgraded the front fork from 41mm to 43mm.

The XB9SX looks cool - would've liked to see it in the '12 line though.

I've already got inquiries out to some local dealers regarding pricing and availability. I see a Thrust Blue 12S in my future.

WYD.

The XB9SX (Lightning CityX) has those NASTY grip covers -- makes it look like a friggin' off-roader! YECH!

The translucent bodywork is, well, different! The Land-rover light/cattleguards are also, ah, interesting.

Sunfire yellow on the 9 is pimp, but that's the only color offered?

All the frames are dark on the 12's...is that how they are now?

Underwhelming.

My $0.02

Come in Daves, I want that headlight guard and those bars on the Citycross. I saw the guard at the Buell accessories page but didn't see the bars.
Can you help me out?

Cool lookin bike, except for the hand guards. Now I just need my rims powder coated.

None of the frigging computers I have or use will allow me to see any of the photos. They need "upgraded versions of software" or "security features" prevent viewing!

Someone please post a pic of the XB9SX and or tell me what the hell is different from a 03 XB9S.

Come on, they just came out with the 12. What more did you think you'd get a year later? I think that Citycross is a sweet bike, definetly nothing that looks quite like it.

Next year we'll see something big.

That Blue 12R is sweet! If they would have upgraded the performance, I would of had to get one: ) The upgrade to the site with all the marketing (hotties) is definitely a breath of fresh air!!

yaay, new colors and some funky see through golf ball material..I was just hoping for a bit different outcome.

I can't see it bringing more players to the table..of course I could be 100% wrong

YEAH, a real big nothing...I guess that just still makes my 2003 a state-of-the-art-model. And Blake says I am a pessimist...

Did you notice the lowered MSRP's?

Yeah, the SX grips are wacko (to me anyway).

Nice bikes and accessories. Is a good extension of the line. Can't wait to measure the new handlebars on the showroom floor. Just might get a set for my X1.

In essence, not enough change to motivate me to trade in the X1, but hopefully I can use some of the new accessories on it.

More evolution than revolution, but that's fine by me! Like the clear surlyn on the City, the yellow 9R, and the new accessories.

Nice new wheel color: Villain Black.

Frame pucks are cool and cheap!! Is that new silver fire windscreen the same as the ZG Sport Touring? It looks slightly different in the pic but could just be the angle.

The website improvements and added content are most excellent.

Hey Dasxb9x, your web surfing problem might be helped by getting Mozilla Firefox 0.9.x

Ahhh, Erik heard my request and built a 12S low-CG just for me, and in black as well! I am gratified that my suggestion was approved. (OK, so nobody REALLY listens to me, but since the result is the same either way, I'm gonna pretend).

As for the supermotard-style 9SX... well, that one ain't for middle-aged American me, but I can see a market there... perhaps its aimed at a younger, more European demographic? Think Multistrada?

not bad...I like the yellow 9R a lot...the frame puck/sliders look interesting...for $40 I'm gonna have to get them even if they do end up living on the garage floor...

sorry Misato...that red spring isn't gonna look much better on your bike than the blue one...
the stiffer set is cool though...
