Just checked the Buell web site and noticed that the regular XB9S is missing from the 2005 lineup. The only S-models are the XB12S and the CityX. Also the XB9R is now the same price of the CityX. ($8,695 msrp)
That’s great news for those looking at the 9R but it looks like the only option for those wanting an S is the XB9SX. Even thou it doesn't effect me in the slightest (I already own a sweet XB9SX) I don't think I like this decision to limit a potential buyers choices. Hard as it may be to believe, not everyone likes the look of the CityX, and the 12 can be a little much for some newer riders. Am I alone on this?

it has been discussed before but i think it was due to the fact that the 9 didnt do so hot since the 12 came out. if some one wanted a 05 9s that bad they could always buy a sx and buy the plastic for a 12. or find a used 03 or 04

9s sold just fine even after the 12s came out. There's just no point in having two bikes that alike in the lineup.

...and they could probably still find a new '04 without looking all that hard.
