Thread: What kind of Buell is it ?

  1. #1
    Hi,

    I live in France and I want to buy this Buell : http://www.leboncoin.fr/motos/569673532.htm?ca=1_s

    The seller says it's a XB12 STT but, for me, the STT doesn't have this look. Could anyone tell me if it is a STT or not ? If not, what kind of Bull ist ?

    Regards

    It look like a xb12ss, or it can be an stt with a Ss conversion. (Front fender, seat, passenger foot peg)

    Tu dois parler francais, alors voila. Une stt peut etre converti facilement en Ss, c'est le meme cadre. Seulement la selle a changer et l'aile avant. Ensuite rajouter les reposes pieds du passager.

    The handlebars are STT.

    It's a STT. The STT came with the white spring rear shock (taller suspension than the SS) and the long swingarm and larger frame.

    Thank you for your replies.

    The thing is that I'm not so tall ;) and a "high seat" bothers me. Is a STT such maniable as a XB12 SS ?

    @Goofy : oui, je suis français. Ce qui m'embête c'est la hauteur de selle. J'ai l'impression qu'une STT est plus haute (et moins maniable ?) qu'une XB12 SS. A moins que celle-ci ait une selle basse. Tu saurais comment je peux m'en assurer ?

    The STT is taller than the SS. A 2006-2008 SS would be a better choice. The newest SS models come with the same tall suspension as the STT models.

    Selon les livres, la selle d'une STT est plus haute que celle de la Ss.
    Pour la selle, ca semble etre une selle normale de Ss, donc moins haute qu'une STT reguliere. C'est certain que tu peux changer pour une selle plus basse. Le seule moyen de confirmer avec la selle est le numero de piece de la selle écrit en dessous.

    C'est certain que pour la suspension, ca reste celle d'une STT, donc un débattement un peu plus long que la Ss.
