anyone selling a XB in Orlando area?

[Gloomshadow]

I ran into a guy on a YZF600 who fell in love with my bike. Hes been reading up on the XB and wants to sell off his Yam and get a Buell.

Hes looking for a XB"fixer-upper" in the $2000 range a 9, 12 "R" or "S" model he is not too particular. It doesnt even have to be road ready. Anybody got anything like that around here?

I'm in Orlando and would probably sell mine if the price was right, but I'd want more than $2,000. I doubt there's a hit here but mine's a 2005 xb9r, yellow, in overall good condition. It has about 8,XXX miles on it. I've been having low throttle stumbling issues but it runs pretty good(have been riding it daily to and from work as the weather's nice). I just switched to iridium plugs this weekend and it made a huge difference. Only things not stock on the bike are breather reroute and air filter. Has newish pirelli tires. If I sold mine I'd buy a lightning...still though love my bike.

OK Ill tell him. Hes not in a big hurry right now, hes thinkin a month or so hell be ready to buy. But for the right bike I could get him to jump at it. Thanks, Ill contact you here when I know more.

I'm over in Brevard. Mine is listed in the Lightning classifieds but I also need a bit more than he wants to spend. Tell him to keep an eye on Craigslist, they pop up from time to time. Good luck!

9r models are the most common in our area (i'm in lakeland)

you might have to make a drive when you find one. I had to drive north of gainsville to pick my xb12s.

FWIW 12s models seem to be hard to find in our area.


Keep your eyes peeled and soemthing will show up.

About 6 months ago, a 12s popped up in tampa. had been droped, had no muffler, and needed a couple things here and there. but, seller was only asking 2500

^I'm in Orlando, and drove to Miami to pick up mine. I also see them pop up on CL from time to time. I've seen a few nice ones go in the $4-5k range in south florida over the past 6 months, they were like brand new and with warranty. One had less than 1,000 miles.

I am in Altamonte Springs. I picked my 12R up about 4 months ago for 2500. No muffler, no chin, and it needed new headers but other than that it was perfect, even had a new set of Michelin Pilots on it and it came with Race ECM. I traded the old x-pipe off for a used stock y-pipe, put a carbon Jardine on it, and a used chin. I got solid rotor kit and some aluminium LED turnsignals. Its the Black and Amber 12R, looks and rides sweet.
Maybe we all should have a "Buell Occupies Orlando night".. maybe on a sunday or something, downtown.

One of the few Buells Ive seen in Orlando area was right here in Altamonte. I ran into a guy in his 50s with a super good-looking M2, blue and customized with top notch body parts. Build quality was super nice, he had harley air filter box on the side and a bunch of good custom stuff on it. None of that tacky cheap ****, looked even nicer than a top-notch Ducati..

I'd love to get together and ride with other buells. Never rode with another one, passed a guy on a lightning once he gave me a thumbs up lol
