2006 Buell XB12S
Summary:
Thank God I'm mature enough to not kill myself on this thing!!
General Comments:
XB12Scg model, Orange of course!! Mod air-box, more carbon fiber that you can imagine.
Drummer muffler, heat kit, billet-pegs, controls and more stuff than I can say. Now this is a fun bike!
Makes my modified V-Rod seem like a old Buick in the handling and braking department. My lady also likes the Buell better to ride on. In the V-Rod's defense though, I will not change the factory seat. She is only 100+ pounds but slides off the back whenever I accelerate the "Rod"!
I've owned six V-Max's and miss that sound with Super Trapps, but this Buell is a real kick!
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

LOL!!! I have a XB12Scg, which means I have less seat padding than you do. That is one of the ways that they used to get the seat height lower that the standard XB12S. I am almost 51 years old but do not mind the seat too much. It was way better than my V-Max's (of which I've owned six). The stock seat on the Max puts your behind right to sleep after about 75-90 miles, and you have to get off to get any feeling back in your behind. Of course this is about when you have to stop for gas anyhow!!
I also run a HD V-Rod, and the stock seat is OK for the driver, but the passenger better weigh less than 100# and be able to hang on tight!!
