ive had a scout around and got some cool advice already without even asking a newbie Q. as yet

i dont own a buell yet "grrr" but saving like a madman so maybe by the end of the year this will have changed.

havnt decided if it will be the xb12scg (yes i am a short ass) or the uly yet and prob wont know till i have the money and go for test ride but thats something to look forward too.

anyhow i just thought id pop in and say hello from weymouth

Kinell, ex F1 driver (and the Stig) and ya skint

lol if only i had the extra R in me surname

i tend to fit and feel much more confident on the smaller race/street bikes .. but i had a go on my uncles duke multistrada and the ride and position was quite nice .. my toss up really is tourer (ish) or not

Welcome to UKBEG, plenty from your neck of the woods and in the Soton area, get yourself to a DG20 Evening sometime and a say hello

If you ask nicely you night be able to take the odd scoot for a test ride

Welcome, if you are short of leg you will find the Uly too tall !

ash ..whats DG20 .. and where abouts?

hmm the uly's no taller than a duke multistrada is it? .. im pretty sure i'll opt for a cg anyways

Dockgate 20, the HD/Buell dealer in Southampton. There are evening meets there one Wednesday (I won't guess which one, there's a thread elsewhere) each month.

For touring-ish, maybe look for an STT or a 12Ss. More fuel capacity than the Scg, good touring seat option (that is a wee bit lower than standard). But you will only know if you try them.

<-------------- 29 " leg = 9sx

... or XB12XT, but not XB12X

Welcome

Dodgymaff, 29" is very impressive . But what is that "leg=9sx" bit?

ta all .. i will come to meet but only when im riding a buell .. ive not gone for test ride yet as i know i'll love the bike and dont have the cash as yet .. i did how ever go and sit on few at the weekend.

the uly was ok and i touched ground (koff) just , but then i sat on a cg .. i really wished i hadnt! it felt so right .. now all i can do is think about how i can save more money to get the bike sooner ... but i cant grrr

Hi and welcome.

Top tip, BEFORE you get the Buell go to a meet without it, incognito, check 'em out first. Cos the second you turn up ON a Buell there's no turning back, they'll have spotted ya and reeled ya in

Have fun xxx

The XT is the perfect bike for a 29" leg Especially if coupled to a 40" waist
