Jack has a point though I did love my old XB though lightning long I truly love the CityX the best but could never find one when I went looking.
So you know any XB or fuel in frame Buell that has a silver frame is a 984cc any grey frame is a 1200 motor.

Quite like that? Sure.

But there are better examples, such as:

Roehr 1250sc

180 HP
115 Ft/Lbs
Supercharged V-Rod motor

That is a beauty for sure not sure how the parts supply will be now that they are shut down but it is quite snappy!!!! There is also Fischer I believe it is but I am not sure of how the bike is at all. And an S1 tuber can be had for $3500 the Roehr I believe if you rash her up a bit you would be set back more than that. I still would love one though and there is Motus but @ $36k I aint getting one :mrgreen:

Lol oh yeah it's definitely a bit more expensive, and parts will be impossible to find, but boy it'd be fun!

Wow, you guys love the Buells, eh? That Roehr is sweet! And as you know, I definitely love the Kawasaki 650R!!!

The roads here in Houston are pretty frightening (well, crap actually) so not sure I want anything that resembles a sports bike.

Surely someone can recommend a non-sportsbike, non-cruiser???

Not sure if you've heard of it, but Kawi makes a bike called the Z750S that tends to work pretty well... ;)
