Sounds like a buell to me [up]

[anrkizm95]

welcome to the forum.sounds good

[Bluu]

I REALLY WANT THIS BIKE BUT I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW IT SHOULD SOUND OTHER THAN ITS REALLY REALLY LOUD & I THINK IT HAS AN RACEKIT ALTHOUGH IM NOT SURE HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE ABOUT 17K ON IT, THEY WANT 4200 OUT THE DOOR I OWE ABOUT 700, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK???

[anrkizm95]

some might say that is a little but if you really want it go for it you wont be disapointed and they dont make them any more.

[wiznut]

The price is a bit high for the mileage for my tastes. Something closer to $3500 would be more in line with going rates for that year and mileage. If having that one and having it now is worth ~$700 to you, then get it.

THEY WANT 4200 OUT THE DOOR I OWE ABOUT 700,

I'm confused by that, you owe $700 over the $4200, or where do you owe $700?

I think the price sounds fair. I rarely see any xb12 listed for less then $4400-4500, and that's before taxes/registration. I've been keeping an eye out as well, and I'd jump on one if I could find it for $4200 otd.

Sounds great in the video though, you're gonna hear the bike making all kinds of noises you've never heard before. As long as it doesn't sound like clanging metal, it's probably a normal noise. The only thing that didn't sound right was some guy saying he just drove 2 hours to pick it up, and it's his baby, you sure it's still for sale??[confused]

welcome to the forum and to the world of Buells, sounds like you are allready addicted!![up]
it looks & sound good, need to see more of it to see if it realy has race exhaust (race kit= Buell race exhaust & buell pro airfilter & race ECM). next time tell the sales person to lift the side stand up when moving the bike so it does not catch on something & then cause it jerk away or fall or break bolt on side stand. got any more pics or video of it??

Good deal, I've only ever seen one go for under $4k here in Pittsburgh. I called the kid, set up a time to come check it out, fully intended on buying it, and then he sells it to someone 4 hours after I got off the phone with him anyway. I'd love to find a deal like that around here!

[Bluu]

Sorry it took so long fellas, but good things comes to those who wait.. & its official I'm a super proud owner of a ferocious, grunty, low down dirty diggin, EXTREMELY sexy firebolt whom I've named BADJAR, & she loves me.. or is it I love her... it doesn't matter its all love... thank you everyone for a warm welcome, Lord willing we're here to stay baby...
