XB9R? Those things look like a "blast" to ride. The wheel base is SO short. Supposedly some of the better handling bikes on the road. Not a big fan of the Twins nor am i a big fan of the naked bikes... however... i wouldnt mind having one of the buell sport bikes in my garage to play with.. good luck with the new bike and be careful... you forgot to show a picture of the wonderful gear you wear while riding the bike... and one last thing... back tires looking pretty good. Was that from you ( the strips ) or a previous owner? The left side of my tire looks like the right side of yours.. however the right side of my tire is a tad bit less.. guess im scard on the right hand turns.. not to mention its a 500 lb bike. ENJOY AND SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!
