Yeah, a buddy of mine was fixing another pals XX which he had done a 60mph 
lowside so I rode it alot during reconstruction. Perhaps others will 
disagree with me but I feel the XX has more power down low than the ST/RS. 
Here's one reason for saying that: If you get even a little ham-fisted the 
XX will spin it up when you are taking off from dead stop. I nearly busted 
my ass on more than one occasion on the thing as a result. Yeah, whack that 
thing wide open in first gear and it would just spin whereas my ST just 
goes. Maybe it had old hard tires on it, I don't know.

I can't believe BIG DAWG has on of these now. Damn, he was hard enough to 
keep up with on his ST. I'll out brake him, yeah that's what I'll do;-)
