2010 XB12SX for USA

[Ric]

Hello all, I’ve been looking around this site and decided to pop in.
Are we getting the 2010 xb12sx here in the USA.
I like the looks of the xb9sx, but love the idea of the xb12sx.

 

[dave_xb12r]

Nope, no xb12sx in the USA. And no XB12R in Europe either.

dave: do you know why[mad]

 

[dave_xb12r]

I don't know why, its just what the buell web site says.

Isn't the 12SX just the old "S"? (w/handguards and the light cage do-hicky)

Not according to specs.
for my understanding

What else is different than appearances?

don't get confused, Ric...they are indeed the same.

if you're talking numbers, it's the u.s. model vs. euro model.
euro has a catalyst and other headers, which can easily be solved.

I don't get it. The S seems to be the creme de la creme for the lightning yet they won't sell it in N.America? I see 1 S for every 10 SCG's and SS on the used market?

I think you answered your question.

 

[Nuage420b]

taildraggin, I was more alluding to the fact that S owners are hanging onto their bikes more so than the SCG and SS owners. I know my hunt is for the S.

speaking of what makes the 07 S better than the 08 S model? i've seen many say the 07 was the best year for them but not much on why?

 

[LeFox]

get an '08, you'll have the upgraded full pump.

most say the '07 because it's 'easier' to map the ecm or even get a race ecm.

but you can map an '08 no problem and it's really worth it to get the newer type oilpump.

I get it now
