3-4k Buell.... 18k Dyna.... Still no job.... :rolf:

 

[R13]

Can't afford either, might as well dream big. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Just fucking test ride an XB before coming to a final conclusion. :lol:


It's such a different riding experience that it's not exactly comparable to a traditional sportbike..

 

[R13]

If I ever see that guy on the SCG again he'd probably let me ride his... if I can't find one reasonably local I can test ride.

I need to get a hauling arrangement set up so can go fix my motorcycle endorsement and test ride either the fxdls, or something similar if I can't find a dealership with one.

 

[94RS]

You on an SCG.... :rolf: Those were made for midgets like me :lol:

 

[R13]

It wasn't that short... I could fit on it long enough to get the idea. :lol:

Although that reminds me... this pic was taken at lower stomach level for me... :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Remember, not only does it have lower suspension, it's also got a lower seat.... You'd look something like this:

Ideal Lightning to test out would be one with a CityX seat

Otherwise standard Lightning vs SCG:

Look at the difference in gaps between the two at bottom of the plate holder :lol:

 

[R13]

CityX's are probably the most common ones on my local CL.

 

[94RS]

I think they made those the most out of any of the XB's.

 

[R13]

Looking at that carbon one there's a lot of mixed up shit on it :lol: the frame/forks/front wheel match up, then there's the black seat frame and black rear wheel... I bet someone got rear ended or some shit and he got it for cheap, then tricked it out.

 

[94RS]

It's possible that one of the wheels were bent and he found one of another color for cheap :what: And the seat frame is easily painted :lol:

 

[R13]

Swingarm was darker/black too like the scg you posted. Doesn't match the frame. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Looks graphite to me :what:

 

[R13]

Maybe the finish has worn and it just reflects darker. It was definitely slightly darker than the frame :lol:

 

[94RS]

Could be that he doesn't keep his shit nearly as clean as I do... :rolf:
