bit to "loud" for me. I prefer understated yet awesome

I'd ride it......but I'm pretty sure I'd get punched in the face for being a yankee, or a wanker, or some such

Does the seat come like that stock? Too stubby looking for my taste..

fast blue one
It was OK until I saw the bulldog on the top and then to me it just had echoes of BNP:thumbdown:
It looks like a fair price to me... correction to my previous post: only the '09 have the blacked out sub-frame + engine + front forks... previous years were all gray (it looks like that sub-frame was just wrapped in fake carbon fiber).
If you like that paint job, and all the carbon fiber crap, I say go for it! You can get a replacement seat for cheap (that one has got to go!) and there are lots of cheap aftermarket parts for that bike...
I can see a bunch of modifications indeed:
- carbon stuff all over
- race cans (that must sound LOUD!!!!)
- dirt handlebar
- coated headers
- aftermarket rearsets (I want them!)
- weird frame sliders
- aftermarket control levers + mirror + grips
- P.C. wheels...
Definitely a lot of work! Are you seriously considering it?

My buddy has a xb12x. It's pretty quick, but even he was surprised that our fz6 could keep up with it...ahhh ok... it is unusual indeed
I prefer this one:

I like buells. If I had some expendable income, I'd get the xb12scg (cause i'm short) in Cherry Bomb Red i think is what they call it. I like it...
I remember when my buddy got the xb12x, I coudln't keep up with him on my vulcan 800... so I got a vtr1000 to keep up with him. Great bike, but got like 28 miles to the gallon and had a 3 gallon gas tank.
Sorry to thread jack, i'm high on cough medicine with codeine in it.

Naw...that is an awfull lot for a paint job on a bike that cant keep up. Its ok for a wanna be, but 10 grand for a sub-standard bike is just plain stupid. Seat cover is for crap as well. And the "carbon fiber" on the frame is for **** as well. Bike sucks :squid:

Definately like Wavexs better. The Brit paint jobs a bit loud. Hey wavex, you should shoot some blue on that chin spoiler, balance it out IMO
