2007 Buell XB12S review from United States of America
"We won't hold the seat against it! Love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
This is our first Non-Honda motorcycle.
The only thing we found that needs improvement is the seat on the Buell... TOO HARD!!! Once you travel 50 miles.. you have to check to see if you have a bottom, because you are numb! Ordered a new touring seat and dealership had trouble cross referencing the tour seat for the Buell. There are four seats, but unclear descriptions. Ordered wrong seat twice.. Need a better reference for the parts people...
The bike is quick, has torque, and gets its share of looks even from die hard HD'ers. Would like to see a back rest or seat with back rest as an option for us older riders. Looking forward to being a part of the HD family!
General comments?
We love it!
Hate the standard seat -- too hard! It is like sitting on a two by four!
Parts people have difficulty cross referencing the Buell parts.. Four different seats, but limited descriptive info.. they ordered wrong seat twice for our bike.
