So I made the 100 mile round trip to my "local" dealership today...wanted to get a sling bag (which gave me an excuse to test ride an XB12Ss.

First impression was "Damn this thing is SMOOTH!!!!!" And the torque is instant. Shifts like "Butter".

The whole time I was on it, I kept thinkin..."Man what a machine!!!"

The test ride itself was not real exciting, but enough to add gasoline to the spark of interest that was already there.

If I didn't LOVE my S3T, I would be more apt to find a way to make it happen. Plus I think that it would only get me in trouble...so it looks like my trusty Blue S3T will still be #1 in my garage (at least for a while)

Yeah, I took an XB9s for a spin myself.
It felt like a "bike suit".
Like it was transparent.

Not getting rid of my X1 yet but it's good to know that there's somewhere to go from here, eh?
