| Post subject: | Buying an xb9r advice?? |
Hi guys, I must confess I do not own the xb9r yet! Am hoping to have one asap though. I've ridden bikes for years, all sorts from z1, vespa, vfr, gsxr - quite a few others! What should I look out for if I go to look at a xb9r? Are there any key things to check? Think I may have found one but it's an import - any major differences? Thanks
