A UK based mag called Rider did a reader survey...I was suprised to see that tube framed Buells ranked 11th out of over 200 models of bikes owned by readers. The XB series was just out of the upper 1/4. Just goes to show as much trouble as they can be people still love 'em...in Europe.

Some people in the USA love their tube framed Buells, too. Hell, some want the factory to build a Sport tourer. You know, a successor to the S3-T and S2-T. It COULD happen. Then again, I COULD win the lottery. Anything's possible...

XB's are a wonderful bike for serious sport riding, I'd also like an R1 if I'm going to race somebody where speeds are going to average over 120. But on the street, I LOVE my ol' tuber. The best all around motorcycle ever built.

Funny how in the UK 'tubers ranked #2 as "all rounders"...second only to the Tuono...in the US they'd probably hardly get mention.

Euros have such a wider taste for motorcycles. It's a damn shame this country doesn't...we're really missing out.

Thanks, man. Most don't think so. She's a bit different now...and looks like it hasn't been washed in ages (which is almost true).
