looking for xbs nashville

[jaisy207]

Hello all! i just joined because this seems to be a good place to look for my next obsession. i used to have an 1125R and loved it but sold thinking i wanted something faster. ive gone through a ktm rc8r a zx14 and now a zx10r but i miss the buell. well im wanting to find an xbs in good shape with reasonable miles. looking to spend about $4000.it would have to be within riding distance from nashville or you would have to be willing to ship. although i am new here you can check out my ebay history under jaisy204207. also im selling the 2007 zx10r for around $5500 and would do a partial trade plus cash if anyone has an extra xbs and wants an INSANELY FAST jap bike .

I will be headed through that area next week (kinda) on the way to NC for the Dragon VIII event. I can bring it along.

Your price is great and it looks nice but 36000 miles seems really high for an air cooled motor

Say what?

Another on the way with 80k, I plan to run the piss out of it.

For what it is, $3200 may seem high, but it's a solid bike with a lot done to it. Went through the motor 1.5 yrs ago at Christmas, still has the original crosshatches in the cylinder bores. Has the wideband MTX-L's on it, custom exhaust made by yours truly, decent (newer) tires, etc. Currently makes 83 hp to the wheel, 70 ft/lbs. Not many stock motor xb9's make that much, especially with the medium mileage on it. It's right there with a stock xb12 for power. Rode it to work today just to ride it again. I'm too big on it really @ 6'1" & 230 lbs. That said, it drags my ass all over the place just fine.

holy cr@p that is amazing! have you overhauled the motor a few times? what year is that uly? i know they made some improvements in 08.

Mine's an 03 xb9, as far as I know, I'm the only one that ever got that far into it and it was only that one time.

i am happy to say i picked up an 04 xb12s with 12000 miles. all stock and and very clean. thanks everyone for responses and hats off to you mr adams. i see you are a small business man and engineer of sorts too.

Both Ulys are 06, rings seized to the piston when I pulled motor apart. Poor maintenance I suppose. Every motor I've pulled apart with good maintenance has still had factory cross hatches (13k-70k miles)

Everyone should research each model & updates before buying.
