I agree with all of that. Had a chance to sit on one at the last IMS show 2019 and several times at the dealer. It absolutely feels like a XB but lower (I ride an SS) so it feels slightly small to me, like most bikes:(
BTW they're doing the same thing with them Huskys near me. The Vitpilen and Svartpilen were discounted over $3k too! FUN 75hp single wheelie machines.
