Well, test rode an '06 Buell XB9SX today. My thoughts? I loved it!!! After getting used to the fact that there was no front fairing/windscreen (it first gave me the feeling that I would fall forward, but you street fighters should know what I'm talking about), everything went smoothly. Being one of the the lower end bikes, this thing has power. It's almost like it's made of pure muscle. Barely out of the parking lot, I was doing close to 80mph before I shifted into 4th. Being a relatively light bike, I was also concerned that, being a windy day, I'd be all over the road. This was not the case. The bike stayed firm and straight. The vibration of the V-Twin was also something for me to get used to, but I found that I actually liked it.
I'm sure that me discussing this is probably considered blasphemy, but I do think that I'll go and pick it up in a week or two. That is, if it hasn't sold by then. If it has, then I'm still going to be more than happy with the FZ6. The dealership will actually take a near loss for the trade in of the FZ6, which was pretty close to what I was planning on selling it for. Although I love my FZ6, and it has been a fantastic bike, I'm afraid that the Buell is the bike for me.
Again, thanks to everyone who gave me their input and thoughts.
