Thanks to forum member speedkills I am now the grinning owner of an '05 Buell XB9SX in hero blue. speedkills took such amazing care of this bike, and I will forever be grateful for that. The ride home from his place (about 30m) was alternately rainy, sunny, misty, and windy and I never lost confidence in this rock-solid machine even once. The suspension is fantastic, the engine has so much usable power, and it handles and feels like a bike of half its displacement.
I've been riding since '89, and owned 7 motorcycles - all of which have been Japanese and 5 of which were inline fours. This is my first American motorcycle and I am genuinely and absolutely stricken with it. Thank you Erik Buell, you are an artist and a genius.
