2008 1125R-CR conversion with lightning tail/ Carbon Fiber

[texasroadranger]

Oh ok freak, sorry. I definately don't want to offend ya or anything like that. We have a guy in our group who is deathly against carbonfiber because he says it gives it a 'raw look' and says it looks like sh*t but later found out he didn't like it because of its 'such high price was ridiculous', but then later won a carbonfiber helmet and said it was the coolest. Anyway, Im gonna be 'hopefully' getting the 1190rs carbon edition and hopefully its the bike that its cracked up to be.... It better be worth $43k, thats for sure.... If not, its gettin traded for the BMW S1000RR that I originally wanted.

Ever get a good offer or buyer? Can't wait to hear about the 1190RS!

 

[texasroadranger]

Its still for sale....$8k firm. I had a guy here in tx lookn into it but he bought an r6 and haven't sold his other buell. Im entertaining other offers. I've had alot of people who want 'parts' off it but I want to sell the whole thing. And 'yes' it runs, very well at that. I ride it back and forth to work everyday- (100 miles roundtrip)

 

[theoctopus]

That's a lot of mileage to add to a bike you're trying to sell: 500 miles a week. What is the odometer sitting at now?

 

[texasroadranger]

20k. If the buyer doesnt want it, they dont have to buy it, right?

 

[texasroadranger]

I just might end up keeping it because Ive poured WAY too much time and money into it. Besides, I haven't had another bike perform even half of what this one does. I tell people 'Its better than sex'.... because I have turned down many women but will never turn down a ride on this thing....IMO..

 

[fakameanrepresent]

Then keep it, and save up more for the 1190.

 

[texasroadranger]

Bike off the market.... No longer for sale. Thanks for interest.

 

[allstar1ny]

Bike is amazing. Keep it. Ride it. Really really fast. Caio.

 

[texasroadranger]

Thanks allstar1. I think I am.Thx

 

[texasroadranger]

gonna have the XB lightning tail up for grabs if anyone looking for one. PM me or email, [email protected]

 

[Albrecht]

I would go to $8,200.

 

[texasroadranger]

Sorry, Albrecht. Its off market. Its now my track bike and put almost $3000 in it last few weeks with fairings, suspension, new fuelpump, ECM, and other 'nic-naks'.

 

[freak2180]

20k

Wow.....My 04 12r/s only has 15k on it........Guess my bike will last forever at the rate I ride it....lol. Glad you decided to keep ol girl with all the work you put into her.

 

[texasroadranger]

Yep. She is gonna look KILLER once I get fairings on it. Its in Corpus Christi HD/Buell getting an oil leak fixed right now but will try and update some pics on her soon.

 

[texasroadranger]

Recent pics of my R with some of the fairings installed. I ended up finally putting a sticker or 2 on it,lol. I still need to install the ohlins steering damper, the right headlight, and the front fairing/windshield. Hopefully in the next few days.

 

[DustyXB]

Saw something in another post you said you're going to make it a full track bike. Switching to a chain drive set up?

 

[texasroadranger]

no, gonna stay with belt. im not going 'pro' just yet,lol. more of a 1/4 mile track stuff.

 

[Ruff_Russ]

Then I did the XB12SCG lightning tail swap and most of the American SportBike Carbonfiber kit.

Texas do you know if when the SCG tail is put on the 1125 is it lower than the stock 1125 tail. I am thinking about doing a tail swap and I am about 6' tall. I want the tail as high as possible. I am not sure is the SCG tail is lower or if I should go with a regular S tail.

Depends on the seat you use with it
