I have an XB12R and I can tell you they are a total hoot. Probably the best handling bike I have ever owned and I have had many. Mods REALLY wake up the engine. The "Buelltooth" adapter is the best thing ever. You can check systems, get diagnostic codes, load custom fuel maps all via your Android phone. The Micron complete exhaust system is the best one, and it sounds amazing. With the tune mine has, it is supposed to be making about 90lbs of torque (though I have never had it on a dyno). Coming from a ZX12R, my butt dyno tells me it is pretty close. Anyway, it's a very, very fun machine and they can be had for bargain prices too. Unfortunately, the position on the XB12R is kicking my ass from many stupid thing I did in my youth. Wish I had gone for the SS. If any of you younger, more limber folks want an XB12R, let me know.
