Author Message   Gusmyster Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 - 06:45 pm:        Greetings all, Sold my S3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm now the proud poppa of new 2004 XB12S. Got about 500 miles on (a little cool in the midwest)and can't wait for warmer weather. I got the race kit, but I'm really torn about installing it. My dealer will take it back if I want. g u s   Kaese Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 - 08:19 pm:        I had an S2 and got rid of it for a XB9R. I don't think you will be disappointed except for the size of the fuel tank. That extra 1.5 gallons comes in handy. 14 months and 22,000 miles later, I am one happy camper! I ended up trading the S2 for a boat.   T9r Posted on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 - 01:45 pm:        I had an S2, then got an S3 w/tour option. I now have added an XB9R. I need something more suitable for touring with 2 people on one bike though and the S3 doesn't cut it. Time to make the saddlebag mounts for the XB9R. ENjoy!   Uwgriz Posted on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 - 01:57 pm:        Are you saying the XB is better for touring two-up than the S3?   Unibear12r Posted on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 - 06:58 pm:        Just added a S3T to my stable. My XB12R is the perfect weekend warrior with greater performance. The S3 is more comfortable,has a longer range and packs more but still exciting to ride. Which I ride will depend on where, how long and what my focus is. Best for two up? Depends on how close you want to be!

Not even, I plan on making it a great 1 person sport/Sport tour bike, hoping she'll get one for herself one day. IF not that then I still want to have a bike I can take off on by myself for several days. STILL looking for a cool, comfy and affordable 2 person cycle. Granted I'm only 26 and need something that fits my style (the S3 is pushing it as is)   Gusmyster Posted on Friday, November 19, 2004 - 08:55 am:        Well, Day 2 with the race kit and street fighter seat. Man I really love both. I did'nt realize how much nicer the xb would sound with the race kit! It does stumble a bit, but I need to put a few more miles on... wish it wasn't 42 deg. and raining.. g u s   Fullpower Posted on Monday, November 22, 2004 - 03:53 pm:        ahhh yes, 42 degrees and a light rain.. very nice. it warmed up to the high 30's here over the weekend, got a few miles on. will try to shrink some pictures to post.
