i have the x15..
many ppl have the x18..
they are really the same bike,
just different frames.
the x15 have a stronger frame, but has
no turn signals or brake light, like the x18.
what are u planing on doing with the bike?
i personally would go with the x15, but thats just me..thumbsup2

I have a X7 and now a X12 so I havent had experience with either but I really like the X15. Less people have it and it has a stronger frame.

eh, at the moment im just looking to ride it around, and inbetween neighborhoods to friends houses, nothing too big. Possibly starting to race it if i could find more people around the Metro Atlanta area, but i havent found anyone :/ maybe mod it a little, nothing too special unless i start racing..then i will get some more money into it :D

I have a X15.....or at least everyone has said I do.
It is similar to the X19 and is a bit fatter than the X18
Don't want to scare you but take a look at my bike "work in progress" in the thread BEFORE PICS. The stripped down frame will give you a better idea of its construction.
If you want all the goodies on the bike then I would go with the X18, it's skinnier and more popular with race.
Remember, alot of these body parts can be swapped so don't try to sell yourself on a particular bike by looks alone.
Just my twocents

ahh, yeah ive kept myself updated on that post Shooter, i really hope it comes out great bows_smilie someone who can do that kind of fabbing from scratch needs to have his own shop..lol, im just looking for a bike to ride around for fun..maybe a few little mods here and there..nothing too special though..until i can get some people into racing, then it would be a little different.

thanks for all the help so far guys!

id go with the 18, it has the best setup and all that extra strength everyone talks about in the other bike isnt needed so its just extra weight.....which means itll be slower....

[EonBlue]

i like both to be honest..but that extra kick of power..im not really in need of that around here..all it is that i could hit would be about 35-40 down my road..if that. i just want a bike i can go ride for some fun, maybe put an exhaust, and intake on it to give it a little extra power and sound. possibly even turn it into a street fighter one day..i love the bareness of street fighters..so awesome ;) Stuntn, i see on your signature you have a one of a kind one, could you send me some pics? my email is nerovayne34@aol.com :)

Can you travel? There's a track in Barnesville called Black Hills. A couple guys from NC go there and I plan on going up there from Savannah cowboy Stay on the forum long enough and finding people to race won't be a problem.

[EonBlue]

eh, not sure how far away it is from Kennesaw..but the problem at the moment is that my job isnt giving me alot of hours like i need..so itll take me longer to buy the bike than anything..and then i should be getting a car sometime next semester..around my 17th bday..i will be able to travel sometime within the next few months or so thumbsup2 at the moment im just trying to save for the bike, maybe get an exhaust and intake for it and i look forward to seeing some people at Black Hills one day! rock2

Although I only ride my x19, I do own an x18 that is still crated.
From the pics, I kinda like the x15 more but that is only in looks.
I have no idea on the difference in performance.
Seems both are very popular.
In other words... I have no idea. bluelaugh

the seating position is the most different
the 15 is wider and more comfortable
the 18 is taller and more narrow
you can race or cruise either
i like the 15 better
i have both bikes

[swanni06]

I say if your tagging the bike to ride street legal..go with the x-18 or x-19..if your plan is racing or lot bashing,get the x-15 or x-12thumbsup2

[EonBlue]

well, once i can afford a Ducati Monster..i will get one..but im also getting a midbike so i can learn to ride a motorcycle(only ridden a 50cc dirtbike before..lol, sad i know) and so yeah, a more comfortable seat will be more useful to me..hrm..everyones inputs are greatly appreciated! thumbsup2

once i get my bike, im gonna paint it, get an exhaust, intake, make the seat a little more comfy, and thats the farthest ive thought it out :D lol
