I have 4k what to buy

[Matteson]

If you had 4k which Buell would you buy?

 

[Alien_XB]

Uly or firebolt

 

[UMDterp13]

Whatever is easiest/cheapest. Then acquiring parts to make into a second model.
Say a S for $3k, then acquiring R front and tail

 

[ReadyXB]

40% of an EBR 1190RX

i think an 07 12r is what i am going for 13k miles. has a d and d. may want to get a different one

 

[konarider94]

1125CR it takes a little work but they can be found for that price

Be weary of these. That's a parts only bike far as I'm concerned. Complete rebuild is in order costing most people $2k-3500 in parts for this.

On other hand I have a $2600 salvage title 2006 9r that I've already fixed and ridden, just need the police inspection for rebuilt title. (Well I've started stealing parts for my own bikes but damage wise, is nil)

The cr was on the list but Craig took his of the chopping block. Plus the scoops kill me. I ignored them for a while but it ate my lunch eventually so I got rid the 1125r.
when I said may want to get a different one I meant a pipe.
A guy is driving from louisville as we type to buy the Ninja.

Two things on my to get list are an s1 and a yamaha wr450.

Are you still thinking about an uly? You might find a stt for 4k or an uly in need of some tlc. Ill keep my eyes out for something interesting. What kind of bike are you looking for? Sport touring? Sport?

 

[Matteson]

I think I'll pass on an uly. I think a 12r will be cool for me. I was looking at stamens bike. It's in Columbus and that would give the wife a chance to see her family near dayton. It has a remus full system and comfy bars. It has 20kmiles wwhich doesn't worry me but resale will become hard brcause its a buell and then one with high miles after I'm done with it.

 

[stamen]

funny you should mention.. I was going to tell you to buy it. PMed you about it.

 

[UMDterp13]

It don't have no Remus you silly goose.

That's the $1400 micron full system. I'd say step your budget up and go buy his.

 

[Matteson]

Ment micron. Oops.
Its either his or the 07 12r in the classifieds in kc mo.
What would you guys do?

 

[heagachongoose]

+1 to that. Stamen's bike is nice.

I would get an s over the r. Its cheaper to convert to an r than it is to convert to an s if you change your mind.

 

[Matteson]

Ya but the drive...

 

[stamen]

dooo it lol..

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Do it

 

[mrlogix]

It's in Columbus and that would give the wife a chance to see her family near dayton.

if you head this way give me a holler. You'll be in my neck of the woods.

 

[heagachongoose]

Same here. I'm in the neighborhood. Let us know if you are in town [up]

Got my 1125cr with 4,700 milez for $ 4,500 and a sccy 9mm 2nd gen I had 50 dollars in (I wheel and deal, lol). Wouldn't change that. Never rode the xb's. Would definitely get a 12, maybe uly if I were to get another Buell. What I would do with 4k tho would be sell my shadow for 4k and work for another 2-4k and buy a 2008+ v-rod night rod. Not a Buell but my next bike on the dream list as of now. Happy shopping. I like the newer Honda cb1300 and Yamaha vmax. Wish I had a big garage full of bikes.
