ok Tommy,
i checked out New Roc HD this morning, and they had a couple XB12Rs on the floor.

-first off they're stuck on asking just under 7k for them.
-the ergos felt good for my size. seat is def. higher than my bike, but i could still flat foot it.
-the bike looks even better in person, to me anyway
-very nice & knowledgable salesmen (for once none of the typical HD dealer BS i've experienced from other HD dealers)
he offered me a test ride but i declined being that i didn't have any of my gear with me and i don't feel comfortable riding a different bike especially since it just rained by the time i got there.
he did pull the bike out for me to start it and let me rev, feel and listen to the engine.

i must say i've heard and read about all the vibration of the bike nonsense....
but DAMN, this thing was shaking all to hell.
i'm gonna go back next weekend, depending on the weather, for a test ride.
after that we'll see if i actually pull the trigger.
