Yeah I rode the CityX, and my friend rode the regular XB9R. The gut shaking vibrations seemed common to both. I just didn't like it. It was really quite nauseating (literally) how badly it shook. And then in neutral it was exponentially worse (to the point I thought the mirrors were going to rattle right off and you couldn't see what was coming up behind you).

Power wise, it wasn't half bad. From what I recall of it, seemed similar to the SV (just the closest thing I can compare it to since those are the only Twins I've ridden so far). And while it was actually TOO upright for my tastes, it wasn't uncomfortable. Oh and the brakes were INSANELY good. (I'm an optimist - I have to find SOME redeeming qualities in it )

This was no vibrator; it was all out jackhammer.
