What did you think of the XR?

2009 is a year for bike switching..

Me and my switches
Trip and his GS
You and the buell/hd switch

DID YOU KNOW:

If you take the primary oil cover off of a Buell, and it's not standing exactly upright the oil will pour right out onto your driveway?

Well, we all know that now. Thank me later...

Well, it was the dealer owner's personal XR...so they wouldn't let me out on the road with it. But I can say it's super comfortable. And really responsive. I liked it alot. It pays to have a good relationship with a good dealer.

I did take a Buell Lightning out on the road for a demo as well. It was the XB12Scg. Which means lower center of gravity (as if it wasn't low enough). Lower seat, slightly lower suspension. Man what a blast that was. Sitting upright. No reach to the bars. That thing was so comfortable. I could ride it all day. That thing is now battling it out for the top spot on my list. The Lighting brought Buell back up toward the top.

I have yet to ride the CR...but honestly, I prefer the air cooled XB's. And they're cheaper.

So, I haven't made a decision.

That sux man. Thats a prob I've found with man HD dealerships is that they work real close to "normal" business hours. Tough to get in late afternoon...
