Hey Guys,

I've been on various sports bikes for the last few years and I ride a CBR 1000RR now but I have been looking at the Buells lately (starting to get tired of the clip-on riding position).

I am 6'0" so I assume that the Ss would be the way to go am I correct? Any information would be cool :-)

I'd definitley go for the Ss. I just picked up a new 06' Ss Black and just rode it another 100 miles yesterday. I'm at 550 now, heh. I'm only 5'4" but I love the look of the "extended" swingarm. It's got the larger seat too and eventually I'm going to fab something up either to fit the firebolt tail or something along those lines on there to still keep the stock wheelbase but to give it an even more extended look. I finally got out of the break-in period and still only went up to 4000 rpm's and it's got a rediculous amount of torque, I LOVE IT!
