I vote a STREET triple or Speed triple, Aprilia Shiver, or Z1000. I have rode an XB9 and I am not a fan. They handle funny, they vibrate like a mother, they are underpowered, they are overpriced, and they are air cooled. Couple that with their heavy cruiser engine shy of some top end improvements, and you have a losing formula.
They do look cool, but after 200 miles on one with a Jardine Exhaust, thats all they do.
