FS: 2009 Buell Lightning XB12Scg Triple Black - 4263 miles - Seattle, WA
Hey guys, I am getting more into my cars lately and figured I should sell my Lightning. It's a shame that it just sits in my garage most of the time. Someone should be out enjoying it! I am not sure how much I should be charging so I'm just kinda feeling this out at the moment.
ODO reads 4,263 at the moment and is unlikely to go up for the time being. I just came back from a 2000+ mile motorcycle trip down the west coast and the bike performed flawlessly. The stock tires are still great. The battery is brand new from Harley Davidson. Cranks and charges just dandy. Always dealer serviced.
When I bought the bike, it had these mods:
- Drummer exhaust
- Shift lever of unknown origin (look like CRG replicas)
- Clutch and brake lever of unknown origin
- Headlight cage
- Buell service manual
I did the following myself:
- CRG Lane Split mirrors (I installed these upside down for aesthetic reason, a more reasonable person may want to flip them around to get more function out of them. Haha!)
- TechSpec tank grips
- Rizoma tail light + fender eliminator
- Rizoma Zero 11 signals on all corners
- removed Buell logos from tank, removed Lightning logo from flyscreen
- Heated grip kit (never installed, would include with sale)
- Hand guard / wind deflector kit with adaptor hardware for use with the CRG mirrors. (never installed, would include with sale)
The bike has never been dropped --- by me. And here is where it gets odd and why I am not sure where to price this. Story goes like this:
I found the bike on Craigslist in Minnesota. The guy owned a bike dealership there and this was his personal bike. Got detailed photos --- some scratches on the swing arm, a ding here and there, but nothing major. Bought the bike, had it shipped to me here in Seattle. Went to register it and found out that the title is "branded". The brands on the title are as listed:
MN 20100824Salvage - Damaged
CA 20100428 Salvage - Damaged
CA 20090720 Salvage - Damaged
WA 20110502 Not Actual
CA 20090612 Not Actual
Needless to say, I was surprised. The seller had not mentioned any of this. I had considered calling him back and saying, "WTF?" But ended up deciding not to pursue that. The bike works just fine, is low miles, and insurance doesn't even ask about the title. So whatever. The damage on the bike I documented very well in all the photos, hopefully you can see.
So I guess that's a long way of saying it has a salvage title. I can tell you that aside from a few nicks here and there, the bike is still every bit as badass. I contemplated trying to fix the little dings and scratches but decided that they give the bike character. Hahaha. Whenever I see it, especially with the headlight cage on there, it always feels like it's my ride through the zombie apocalypse. (Sawed off shotgun and all!) The triple black is indeed the best color combo, IMHO.
At any rate, enough idle chit chat. I see 2009 Scg's with similar mileage go for about $7500. Seeing as how this bike has the salvage title on it (and for what possible reason it was salvaged, I have no earthly idea why), I am thinking $7000 is reasonable. Bike is located in metropolitan Seattle.
Pics to come soon.
