Here's the red light/bathroom reading I pick up at the H-D/Buell dealer with a review of the XT:

http://www.thunderpress.net/MONTH_ARTICLE-pdfs/200 8/0608/BuellXB12XTLa/BuellXB12XTLa.shtml

Overall, mostly just a description, the usual complaints (pegs, fan, heat) and overall rather positive. He does a brief comparison ride on an X.

One interesting quote:

"We push a little. The tires and suspension are perfect for the road. The engine is a little buzzy and the clutch is tight but my bike has almost no miles on it and that is to be expected. Later in the day, I swap rides with a bike that had thousands of miles. It felt like a Buick in comparison to my red Bug Eyed Sprite."

The end of the article is like nothing I've ever read in describing a motorcycle - a "little redheaded hooker".

You stay classy, Temecula...

Wow,
some one who reports from the seat of his pants rather than from a spec sheet.

Totally freaking cool : )
