Default Got a new Buell today.

Well, the check comes Friday, so technically I'll have it Friday.

It's a Buell XB12XP. Which is basically the bike below, in white, with more suspension travel.



I got to take it for a test ride, which helped my decision immensely. This bike is nimble and fun to ride with plenty of usable power. The other bikes are staying in the stable, so this will be a fun new addition.

To be honest, I don't know what the fuck it is. But I do know it's a blast to ride.

It's gonna be a 2up tourer/daily driver for me.
