2007 Buell XB12Ss Lightning 1100 original miles

[SoFlo2008]

SOLD. SOLD. SOLD

The expanded ergonomics of the Lightning Long XB12Ss make it better suited to taller riders. The wheelbase is stretched two inches, to 54 inches, thanks to an extended swingarm. The seat is taller and wider than that of the XB12S, and the expanded tail section offers more room for a passenger. There’s also a larger under-seat storage compartment


Fork rake is increased from 21 to 23.5 degrees and trail goes from 3.3 inches to 4.7 inches. Larger frame side panels give the Lightning Long a fuel-in-frame capacity of 4.4-gallons. The Lightning Long is powered by the Buell Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin with Buell InterActive Exhaust. Like all Buell motorcycles, the handling remains quick and responsive.
The Lightning Long is available in Sunset Orange with Sunset Orange wheels, and Midnight Black with Designer Black wheels, both with a Graphite Gray frame

I've low sided a lightning at 35 miles an hour and it looked exactly like the side of that bike. That did not happen from falling over.

 

[Silverrider]

Yea !!! One could clearly see the scrapes were not a drop but a slow low side down

Nice bike but over priced with a Bad frame dent .

Back story:

Guy in Floriduhhh tries to flip a Buell, he tries to hide low-side damage with a new-but-wrong-sized frame puck, that is stupid, lame, and deceitful, so guy makes up a fake story to get more than its worth, forum members call him out for being a lying SOB, guy runs away with pants around ankles.

Hey OP, try again. Take $1500 off the price, be HONEST about what you know about it, and type that in a new ad that isn't a total and obvious lie. Your "Time Machine" is a 13 year old bike that was low-sided, left to rot, bought by you for $1700, got washed and cheap tires and is still dangerously unused and in need of real care. Now you want to retire on flipping one bike.
Either you are a complete idiot to believe that a mongo-she-woman can throw down a Buell at 30mph story, or you are a complete scumbag for trying to pass it off.

Hey Lunatic! I'll take that 'Vette off your hands for double what you paid!:angel:

Cooter! No way! That frame puck is correct for a SS.

The rest of your description is pretty spot on.

2-just bought a mint condition 1963 Corvette split window coupe for $150. widow of original owner listed it in local paper. she thought it was a Corvair so sold it really cheap. couldn't believe it was actually a Corvette when i got to her house.

I heard it was really a Corvair...



I've never cared much for the 1st gen bodystyle, but this one is saweeet!

Is it just me or is the rear tail light/turn signal housing a different color than the rear sub frame?

That is not abnormal. I've seen that on some XB's.

 

[BuellyBagger]

I just looked closer at the pics. That thing has been down on both sides! The left puck is all scuffed up and appears to have a slightly smaller dent in the frame as compared to the other side.

Just be honest when ur selling something, nothing wrong with a beat up buell if the price is right.

I also have a pretty hard time believing the mileage. After all the odo. Is only stored in the cluster. It wouldn't be hard to find a low miles peice on Ebay. Is there any VIN history to back up the claimed mileage?

I may only be 34, but I've heard a BS used vehicle story or two in my day too and this things reeks of BS

Yes, they are a tough crowed because they know the Buell line of bikes very well !

Also, even if you were a senior member here, they would have done the same thing to you. That's what makes this such a good forum.

I see a liberal west coast safe room full of puppies in your future.

 

[BuellyBagger]

Ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt... maybe you are presenting the bike as you were sold it. It appears to have been low speed low sided a couple times either way.
I'm not going to run a VIN history on it, but I hope anyone who might be interested in it does.
That frame dent would've totaled the bike IF anyone made an insurance claim on it. And that doesnt mean that it would have a salvage title either folks. In some states if the value of the vehicle is low enough and the vehicle is old enough it can keep a "clean" title even if it's damages have exceeded its agreed market value. Although if it was claimed, a VIN history will show that it was a total loss.
So, any how... GLWS OP.

 

[njloco]

Your first post was to sell a bike that had a questionable past that you had just recently purchased. You obviously didn't bother doing any research on it and either, bought the story they fed you without checking it or worse, made up the story and you have a problem with us seeing through the BS, really !
If I were you (thank G-D I'm not) I would stick to your other forums ( aviation, really ? ) or better yet go and sell them the bike, since your well accepted there, they might even believe your story.

OP: You may not appreciate my candor, but it is meant to help you better yourself

Myself (and others here), have seen your type of purposefully misleading ad to prey on less educated buyers before. The actual Buell isn't the actual problem here.

And Holy Lord, for your own sake... grow some skin. The members here are a little rough around the edges (awesomely :eagerness, but this is a very nice, highly educated, honest, forum. We'll help anyone who needs it, but we can also smell BS from an airport away.

Dang those scrapes on the header sure are clean to be 12+ years old... especially in a humid are like Florida
