    I'm buying a 99 X1, currently riding a 07 XBcityX. What are the major differences in handling and performance?

    I would think your X1 is gonna feel a bit bigger. They don't have that super short wheelbase like the XBs do. You're also upgrading to the 1203cc motor, so that's good stuff.

    I'd love to get me an S1 someday. You keeping your XB as well??

    cant to get myself a X1 !(hopefully a millinum edition X1 )! the tubers are the first BUELLs that i ever seen and heard, and what got me into Buells in the first place. the tubers have a cool old school mean and fast & agressive unique look to them , as compared to the modern sleek fast unique XB's. thats why I love them both.
    I wish there was more tubers on here(or maybe I'm just not aware of it) , wish more would post pics of their tubers. any pics of the X1 your buying ??
