And all I can say is that I love this machine.

Ditto, I bought my XBs the end of September last year. I've got over 1,100 miles on it already (through a Pennsylvania Winter). That may not be much to some, but to me, I haven't ridden that much on anything else, ever.






(Except for my Cushman Scooter, 5000 miles in 10 years, longest one day trip 300 miles).

If you don't take your bike in your room, you are making a big mistake by inviting theft or damage.

My S3 fits just fine with the mirrors folded.

I put the free paper to good use that I get at the front desk - keeps from marking the carpet.

Only word of advice, let the motor cool down. The smell of a hot motor in a small hotel room can be pretty bad.

I can't say anything about taking it to bed though - I don't like lying in the wet spot!

To add to my post above. Just got back from a nice little 60 miles through the mountains of Upstate NY. Now that I finally have the suspension set to my liking and have figured out the bikes handling (have almost 600 miles on it now)
<fanboy>
I really love my XB12S. It is by far the coolest, most fun to ride bike I have every owned. I now do not miss my SV at all. So the transformation is complete...
</fanboy>

That being said I now see why people love their Buells. I do not think I that I will be taking it to bed soon, although I do love twins (I married one : ) ).

Doon,

Welcome to the madness!

The SV aint a bad machine. I too went from having both an SV and a couple Buells to just having the Buells. Don't feel any regret.

Slaughter: Yeah I really liked my SV. It was the reason I bought a sportbike again (I have a cruiser also). I am allowed 1 sportbike for me as long as I keep a cruiser for my better half to ride with me on. I rode the heck out of that SV. It was comfortable, it was light, and it had a V twin. Actually If I get the urge to ride one again, my brother still has his in my garage : ) I finally got an XB after lusting after them for a couple of years, and the first couple hundred miles I was kinda missing the SV. Now that I finally got the suspension figured out (well that and enough air in the tires), I no longer miss my SV. Now if it wasn't supposed to rain tomorrow...
