is your experience limited?

1. so, your experience is limited. thanks for that clarification.

2. i didn't say that the shifting on the 900SS was poor, or bad, or terrible. i said that the shifting was better on the buell.

thanks for playing.

My xb12 was a little lackluster in the shifting department. Not as bad a Polaris automatic shifter, but definitely not on par with the modern Asian bikes.
I blame these weird looking things.

and there is less vibration at idle than the 900SS.

don't get me wrong, i loved the 900SS. it was very maintenance free and ran like a dream (except when cold, which the buell does just fine).

the buell is simply better in nearly every way than 900SS. except a 6th gear.

and the top speed is nearly identical.

so, that is my review and comparison of these two bikes.

this review makes me want to go right out and buy an R6..... LOL!!!!
