An STT isn't a small bike, if its like a minimoto how tall are you

Andy

I'm 6ft 2 and quite a lot of stone..... I've ridden a xb12s and felt the bike was a wee bit on the small side for me....and when I had a go on the Uly if felt a lot better for me.....once converted into a bomber it more or less becomes a xb12s long only a bit taller which works out for me just fine...

Exactly .....an STT is a 'bomber' straight from the factory ie. a 12S in a 12X height

Right I'm with u now didn't know there was this model (in my defence.... ) my only defence is that Uly's are in my price bracket and I like building bikes so doing this little conversion will be fun..... (thanx for the education...lol)

I also like building bikes but prefer not to build ones I can just buy off the shelf.

There is also an STT on ebay at the moment

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Buell-XB12STT ... 35d2ae1672

and as it happens there is also a lighning long XB12-SS

Although some tosser has lowered it so would require rectifying.

Both are ideal for you to ride this summer rather than spend its summer on a paddock stand in your garage.

Andy

Oh and the Uly is a great bike as it is.

Andy

Why lower an XB ? unless you're trying to spoil one of it's best attributes, namely it's handling. tosser

Nice...They do look good all in black...

Both of those are out of my price bracket, as for lowering a XB I have no idea why anyone would???

I would say be very aware if your trying to buy a "cheap Buell"

Andy

Because an Scg was out of their price range

I have a price limit but both of those are higher than my limit.....Uly's are a lot cheaper than other Buell's, as for buying a cheap Buell no point as it'll be more trouble than it's worth but that go's for most bikes....

I have to say that I started the Bomber project as I wanted more of an upright 'supermoto-esque' Buell but didn't prefer the 'adventure' looks of the Uly.

I found the STT too low... AND I already had a Uly

Also, I think the slightly larger Uly 'head' looks more in proportion than the small unit on the STT/Lightnings

Anyhoo... glad you like.

I was a peach to ride (before I sold it). If I ever go back to a Buell it'll be another Uly/Bomber.


But I'm enjoying my MT-OS too much right now! (sacrilege I know, but it is darn good)
