X1 to ride.

S1 to be kept clean as pride of place in the living room.

Note: other Buell models are available.

I'm happy with the two Buells I own....an XB12Scg and a Buell Blast. Love them both!!!

S1 for real men. X1 if you want to stay on touch with your feminine side.

An S1 will do more for your manliness than dodgy facial hair though it may well roast your manliness at the same time.

S1 for the lonely man.
M2 for the family man.
X1 for softies.

Actually, some folk, e.g. Squiz and his missus, have been known to ride S1s two-up.

It must be quite cosy though...

X1! After all it's a mark 2 S1 with an ignition switch in a sensible place!

Ah, sensible. There ya go.....

Clive, just buy it before it goes.

S1 for one up
X1 for two up
Blast for three up (if Gill lets you)

The world maybe round but you can still find the Edge.

S1 for a pure gutteral raw experience.
S1 is a money pit unless a lot of work has been done on it.
S1 as you know is me and Gills 2 up tourer of choice( you'd have to sit on mags's lap though)
S1 is better looking IMO
X1 is a better engineered machine specially 2001 as most of the inherent probs have been ironed out
i.e its the most evolved tuber....... But even Maz would probably agree that it doesn't necessarily mean that they are better to ride and he's got THE 2 best examples of both that I have seen.
An ast shock is easily adjustable to lower the back end far enough for you ( they are suprisingly tall bikes)

Pretty much as I suspected Thanks for all the advice - not sure about the dodgy facial hair though DS you cheeky shite

As I'm sure you all know, I won't actually get any say in it as it's for the long haired colonel I'll be doing pretty much as I'm 'asked' me thinks Lets see what unfolds
