Indeed, these innovations are what I was referring to... along with the belt drive, low maintenance costs, lowered center of gravity (thanks to the low exhaust + fuel in frame)...
What's so bad about an air cooled engine? I`ve ridden air cooled v-twins in the past and loved them (conf rg-one's Ducati).
I personally don`t care how it is cooled, as long as it is fun and torquy... plus no ugly ass big radiator in the front...
I understand that most of you guys wouldn`t go for an XB, and that's fine! I have weird tastes...
Again I am going to test ride both the XB9 & XB12 soon and see if I like the ergos and engine... if I do, that'll be my next bike.
This is an XB12... the new model has a black frame + front forks + sub-frame...
