I really like the black/red combo on the XB's. That looks really good. Honestly, I think the streetfighter/cafe buell looks better than the 1125R, to me the front end looks too tall on the 1125R compared to the tail, it's hard to explain but it almost looks old-fashioned. Older sportbikes the front end was visually higher than the rear, the more modern trend is for the back to be higher, that height ratio seems more visually right, and the cafe looks that way to me. Think about an older FZR or GSXR compared to a new R1 or GSXR. And I know most of you beuller's are going to say that buell isn't about going with modern trends, but to me the XB has the tall tail look, I think the 1125R would look much better with the same "stance".
Still don't like the cover though, too much plastic on a "streetfighter" or "cafe". ESPECIALLY when compared to the relative nakedness of other buells.
