Just remember to make sure you are in 1st gear so as you dont chugg away like i did in 2nd yesterday with a crowd looking ...hmmm another beer to drown it out perhaps ...

I have already signed up for the MSF class. I dont plan on a purchase until after I have passed the class. Most of what I have read says that the 9 can be a little cramped for the taller rider. I am 6' and 180lbs, would the 9 really be that cramped? Would the XB12Ss be a better choice even though it has the extra power? Thanks for all advice.

yeah, that's either good to start choosing the right one but it is most concern all upto you what you think at optimum level to finalise the one. Like buying at your favorite grocery store requires that shoppers should be wise so as not to be fooled by fake labels which are sometimes too good to be true. When you want to buy some ornaments, you will definitely need the skill to distinguish true gold from deceiving glitz and glitter of some jewelry.

For sports minded people, shopping is also a big consideration. Your sports apparel should mix together well and fit the needs of the sport you are engaged in.

Bikers are usually very particular with their motorcycle apparel. Apparel encompasses different accessories from helmets, clothes, chaps, and boots, to even eyewear. Motorcycle apparel is usually made of leather, as leather is flexible and strong and won’t let you feel the friction between your clothes and skin, although leather can sometimes be very expensive depending of its kind. Leather also has other characteristic that cannot be found in ordinary fabric and best fits motorcycling.
Another important form of apparel which serves as the protective head gear for bikers is the helmet. The helmet should be perfect in size as shape and size of your head and should be able to protect you, should minor or major accidents occur.

With regards to helmets, the world’s top helmet – HJC helmets - are available wherever in the world you may be and can even be purchased online if the downtown distributor is far away from your location. With HJC helmet, you can be assured that your helmet will be your protector as the company has been producing quality helmet like Ben Spies Replica and RPS Patriot over the long years of being in the business. You can have a wide variety of choices of colors, designs and features. Your biking experience will be more fulfilling and more exciting knowing that helmet is made to for your safety, comfort and better looks. So when it comes to your biking needs, you always need to make the smartest choices.

Here is my 2 cents....I teach the motorcycle course here where I live and I have seen a lot of people get themselves way over there head by getting something too big to start out on. If you have ridden dirt bikes and such and can actually ride a bike then maybe a 9 would be good. I am always amazed how today people consider a 900cc bike a good first bike. Start with something a bit smaller. Personally I like a good dual sport bike for a first bike. Not easy to break and easy to manouver. Think about this....you are just learning to ride and you have something that can get out of control with one mistaken twist of the wrist or grab of the break. You will be nervous enough riding for the first while so you do not need to be scared shitlss by your bike as well. Go out and buy a smaller older bike forthe first one and get a season under your belt and then next year look into the dream Buell. I have been riding for over 30 years. A Buell XB is a riders bike and not for beginners.
