Hey' New here but long time motorcycle guy. I'm looking for a new track day bike, don't want to spend to much. I have found the to bikes above, the 02 is $3000. the 04 is $3700. Is the fueller going to hold up better than the tuber? I like the tuber as it looks easyer to work on. Any help would me great. bete.

The tuber is a great bike, but the amount of grief you save by going with the XB is going to be staggering. You wouldn't believe how much got sorted, and how well sorted it ended up.

And the handling on the XB platform is far far far better as well... even before the tuber shock starts leaking ; )

Get the XB, factory frame pucks, and Dark Horse swingarm sliders

(I loved my M2, and wouldn't mind having another someday, but my XB is a much better bike)
