I was looking to get a sport bike, I have a sportster now and was thing of a used x1 or xb9 when I came across the Triumph Speed Four. Does any one know any thing about them?

cool little bikes but not much torque when comparing it to a buell. Its got the 600cc triumph engine in it.
closer comparo would be the speed triple. just my 2 cents

A guy I work with has a Speed Four. We traded bikes for a it (I have an M2), he wanted to trade for longer. He was really impressed with the Buell. Not quite the same as an M2, but of course I'd go with the Buell. Take both for a decently long test ride and see what best fits you. From my riding time on an XB, I'd go with that over the Triumph. Like Bubba said, more torque, lots more fun as well.
