Been looking at street bikes lately and can't decide with a cruiser or sportbike. Like the cruiser comfort but like the sportbike speed and handling. How comfy are the Buell's on long rides?

Quote: my eyes burn,and i smell funny. Are you sure that was becuase of the ride? JK To chuckanut. If you're not vertically challanged like me consider the XB12XT. If you don't like that the Ss with the touring seat is the second best choice for longer rides. I had my seat shaved and I'm still good all day as long as I walk around a little bit when at a gas stop.

Coming of a R6 then a DRZ400sm the Buell is a Cadillac in the comfort category.

Thanks a lot guys. Rode my moms BMW R1200R and it wasn't too bad. Butt got a little sore other than that not bad. Got on my dads Harley Dyna Screamin Eagle, alot better. But I think I'd be able to handle the Buells. Thanks again guys. Ganna look close at the XB12SS
