Hello everyone, new guy Tim here. I am looking to buy my first buell and I found one just one state away that is a 2003 XB9S but the low version. I have researched and found different data for the seat height. I am seeing that the seat height is 29 inches. If this is correct, do you think I would be too cramped being 6ft tall with 34 inch inseam? The bike is located a few hours away so I wanted some clarity before making the trip. The plan for the bike is to commute to work occasionally and maybe an hour or two ride on Sundays. Thanks in advance :)
 
It's the lowest bike Buell makes. I'm 6'2" (or 6'3" if I'm drinking) and it's only an Ss, or Stt for me. I also ride a XB9SX (regular height seat, shorter frame than the Ss) and it's not uncomfortable for 150 miles.

lol @ the Drinking comment :cool:

I read last night that I can change the seat out to an XB9Sx. Maybe I will do that since you stated that you fit fine and you have a few inches of height on me.

Here she is :)
