I´m considering buying a 2008 left over Buell XB12STT as a second bike? I read one comparison which had it rated quite like a XB12SS a 1/2 inch shorter and steering head demensions slightly different supposedly for off road use, I donn´t plan on using much if any off road but I´m working on getting a good price in these though times. If any one out there who owns one or who has had a good deal of saddle time on one could tell me its strenghts and weaknesses I would greatly appreciate it, I´m looking for a bike that handles better than my electra gide!!!
