Title: New Buell and contest
Post by: manofthefield on November 15, 2006, 10:16:38 AM
There's a new Buell for 07 called the XB12STT, looks like an XB12SS (the long version) with a little more ground clearance, some bits off the CityX (XB9SX), a dirtbike style front fender and "number plates".  Doesn't look too special to me, but there is a contest for all the artists/photochoppers out there to win one.  Here's the link.

they're marketing it as a supermoto, and its anything but... i think it would probably be a good street bike, if you like the harley motor.  I like that front brake...

That's all the XB ever was...light weight, crazy geometry, and all out minimalism.

I'm over all the Buells and stuff.  That motor just sucks.  I liked every Buell I'd seen except the Ulysses, the Blast, and this thing.  I hate the number plates and dirt bike fender.  That is just ignorant.
