I think the xb9 could bring about 3500, I also live in the midwest and it is hard to find buells around here, it is stock and has 16,000 miles after all i bought a all stock one with 4,000 miles on it for 3,850 in illinois.
2003 just doesn't seem to be a desirable year for the xb9s. People seem to have complained about power from the factory and it has the bad belt design. I payed 5k for my 2009 xb9sx with just under 5,000 miles in June of this year. In Wisconsin, from a dealer.
Oh well sounds good! I think 3500 must be about a high price for it then, thanks for all the feedback. Blue books just don't include market value and desire value! lol
