Buells are fun bike to ride with their short wheel base and tons of torque, the only downside is that the bike dont have allot of top end, 2 buddies of mine has the XB12 and they top out somewhere around 120 or so, but both can ride the wheels off it in the twisties, and its a great cruising bike, but be prepared, they do vibrate allot.
I still would give the 2 thumbs up!!!!
