I've been reading alot on these bikes. Its really a shame the XB is so far away just to go see it( 2days ride) and ride it for comparison. But for now the only SS long bike for sale.
My concern is after comparing size and all data, if the X1 may be a still more stable on the road bike than the xb. with a bit longer wheelbase, a bit more rake etc. I'm not going stuntriding, I'm old but still like a fun handling bike, without beeing too twitchy .. hmm ?! I will still like to go cruising on the bike, specially when girlfriend is on the seat too
Guess I will have to decide wether to take that long ride to testride that xb or drop it and go with the "near to me" X1. Opinions on wether the xbss feels twitchy ?


Twitchy??? Compared to something like an SV650.... oh yeah. But compared to the other XB's its pretty well behaved. But remember that the I can't say anything bad about the SS. Its one of my favorite Buells.

I'd say the SS steers a lot like a tuber, which isnt a bad thing at all!
