I am 6'1" 235lbs and am tired of all the great looking bikes being made to fit a F1 driver!! Someone tell me that I could ride this bike some distance and not look like a circus clown!!
I broke my back 6years ago and am currently recovering from my second operation. A cruiser bike is out of the question as the bolt upright position is a nono for me.. I'm ready to buy a bike again and the XB9s or XB12s has my name on it (I hope)
Can I fit this bike? is it reliable? Can I Tour with this bike? Will it give birth to my baby??
Dying for answers...Eric Buell....show me the light!!!!

I am 5'9" 200 lbs, performance seems to be goo for a middle wt 984cc. bike is comfortable to me. I am definately looking into a better saddle for the long haul. My ass gets numb after about 1-2 hrs. having a hard time finding good bags that have volume. bike does trun heads and get lots of attention.

I just went and rode a XB9s and let me assure you, you WILL fit. I am 6'1", 250 lbs with a 32 inch inseam. My legs had plenty of room. The guy at the shop had just come back on his Lightning from an 800mi trip.
