Rode one of these at Silverstone last year. Red line is about 5500RPM which took some getting used to, however the handling was awesome.

If it wasn't for the lack of any comfort for pillions than I would seriously consider one.

I really like 'em... But both the XB's I rode had horrendous gearbox and clutch combinations, not just adjustment either. But what a laugh to ride. I prefered the 9, CityX, despite it refusing to shift into 1st.

the gearbox's have never been much good on them but from what ive been told you dont use them very often.

Not really my thing but I think they look cool.

I fancy a go on one of the new buells. Mate of mine had an earlier cyclone, with a yoshi race can it was fun.
