Can anyone tell the differences the frame, sub frame, and suspension the Buell Xb12R and the 1190R? and would it be possible to combine the two

You can combine the two if you are into fabricating and modifying. But they do not just bolt up together.

XBR and short frame XBS bikes can easily swap the subframe over.
The long frame XBS bikes have different mounting points than the XBR. I was able to "modify" (cough cough) my XBR subframe to fit the long frame XBS on my race/track bike.
The 1125 bikes are even more different than the XBR/XBS bikes due to the the shock mounting being offset (and the shock is much shorter). The 1125 subframe is different than the XBR and requires much more modification especially the right side upper mount.
The 1190 uses a completely different magnesium subframe that is a work of art. Not sure why anyone would want to put an XBR subframe on an 1190, even if it did just bolt on.

I'm going to wager a better answer for you could be provided if you told us what you were looking to do...
