dont know what i would like instead something with a good 2 up seat and a nice smooth engine was thinking of kwak er6f or kwak z750
any suggestions. please....

A well-tuned Uly will have a smooth engine, and there aren't many seats around that are more comfortable for 2-up.

There - Had to say it - this is a Buell enthusiast forum, after all

another pic from front
milage is 5698 at moment
comes with xtra;s lolipop mirrors
set of hand guards and original back light .

lol had the uly too high for me
not had much use of the xb need some funds and a cheaper bike only done around 500 miles in 10mths not been out in rain .garaged.
new front tyre 100 miles ago and new front wheel bearing.

Hi - I wouldn't go for either of those bikes. I passed an ER6F on the motorway the other day and I thought it looked a bit of a toy..! Also, I've just come from a new Z750. I liked it when I first got it but in reality it's a little like a Ford Mondeo or a Vauxhall Vectra.. It'll get you to where you want to go.. but you wont remember any of the journey...!

Don't want to put a downer on it... but hope this helps.

Cheers

Andy

yes that helps. cant make my mind up just looked at suzuki gsxf 650
what i mean by a smooth engine is not having a twin,
unless i can make my mind up i will try to keep the buell.

I'd be going for a Tuono if I were in your position. When I flogged an XB9 I bought a MV Brutalle. I loved the look of the bike but it was garbage for pillion and my Mrs wasn't happy. You could do a lot worse than the 650f, and although they are simply faired bandits they are great bikes. I loved the one I used to have.
Good luck with your decision.

Andy

Suzuki do a 1250 version now got a good write up in this weeks MCN.

test ride a Triumph if you want a bit of smoothness without it being a bland UJM. The 955 or 1050 engine models can be had in all shapes and combinations from sports to tourer and are well regarded.

a bargain too, my father in law hasd the 1250 bandit. it's got a really smooth power delivery and is a really relaxed ride.

would any of these be big enough?

pmsl
does it come with the lowered seat ??


Hi Andy
well im more than 90% sure im keeping the xb not found anything that i like
the x1 looks good though,
its purley funds at this moment but if every thing goes right i will be keeping this after all its the only reason why i took my test last yr after seeing the xb long otherwise i wouldnt have bothered going in for the test .

Wise wise decision....

The biggest mistake I have made is selling my previous XB9. I loved it and let money get the better of me.. never again.. never again....!
