Race program parts sale, XB and 1125

[Internet Annoyance]

Hi, i just got a call from a friend, this guy is a major player in the local bike world, He is known as the guy who revived the Norton brand from obscurity before his investors sold it out from underneath him,
So, He called me just a few minutes ago and was asked by a local dealership (very well known) to liquidate their racing program stuff.

Already gone is the Ducati stuff, sold in one pile. Soon will be their Triumph racing program stuff, but of interest here is their BUELL stuff (OH ! HAPPY DAY!! )

BRAND NEW 1190 motor in the crate, bunch of other 1190 stufff, and some Buell stuff,. Im not real clear if all these parts are RACE parts or take offs from street bikes converted to racers, or a mixture of both. Pallets of the stuff. So i told him i WANT It,,, sounds like some fair prices might be had. Some is just NOS parts in the packages with washers, fasteners, gaskets, some seems to be high end parts and New forks, shocks, wheels, and i hear theres 2 bikes, sounds like the bikes are XB. Will post soon, I am taking my camera and making an inventory. stay posted.

BTW< Still looking for a fuel pump for my 2001 S3 Tuber, ANYONE have one or will loan me one for a few days?
I wont be keeping it on the bike, will be switching the bike over to a Mikuni HSR carb, i just want to fire it up on setup thats on the bike now, before i tear it down

One 1125 owner eagerly awaiting inventory

okay EDIT,, 1125, so will be looking at the inventory and do a partial inventory to see whats there on Friday, Sounds like a mix of 1125 and XB stuff. theres multiple pallets of it and sounds like a lot to sort thru. Be interesting to see how much of it is street bike parts and if theres any cool racing parts.

Several possibilities, One i buy it all and sell it off in chunks or piece by piece, or Ill line someone else with it.
I know the guys involved and pretty good to deal with, right now i have it locked up and we will see what kind of deal it is. The dealer ships owner has heavily invested over the years in national racing and supported a number of teams, But it sounds like he just wants to get rid of the stuff in full swoop and not deal in nickel and dime stuff.
Another guy came in and bought the whole pile of the Ducati stuff so whats left is Buell and Triumph.

Im taking my camera and a note pad, Will update soon.

okay went and looked today, got a bunch of pictures, not quite as much stuff as i thought, but some cool stuff, would be fun to play with, Some full on race stuff, some stock take off stuff. I have dibs on a package deal, and will want to resell most of it to keep a few pieces for myself.

The dealership owner is at Daytona right now with his race team, wont be back for a while, He called while we were at his dealership going thru the piles, he gave more info but we also need details from the race team mgr and the head tech guy of whats there. We are completing an inventory in the interim and will sit down and haggle over price when he gets back, (roughly 30 days) in the interim I will load a bunch of pix i took today and want to get some feedback and have some questions,, I hope i can make a fair offer thats a WIN-WIN for everybody. stay tuned

Im wondering if theres not part of a 1125 bike floating around there that we missed. Theres a NEW 1125 motor in the packing, was going to be blue printed for their race program, there must have been more bikes, theres 4 1125 swingarms, and some drive belts, some 1125 body work, wire harnesses, forks, and other odds and ends, but im wondering what happened to the rest of the stuff. I will ask, this dealer owns multiple buildings and has race stuff stashed around the US as well,, When he gets back into town, will be interesting to find out what else is there and more details.

Theres 2 XB bikes, they are going to keep one of them,, its been seriously modded and been around as a race mule and test bike for a long time, Seriously reworked by some of the best in the performance world. Im told They are going to reconfigure it from Road race bike to a Salt flats bike. so thats off the table They didnt even like me taking pictures of it and the pile sitting there on that pallet. (Wasnt much to look at in its present state IMHO)

The other bike could be really interesting. Im anxious to hear from Mike, the race team head guy what he did to it, It was bought from/for salvage as a lightly wrecked XB9, (picture coming soon) it was stripped down and the motor gone thru by the Race team head guy (He mostly builds top fuel Harley dragsters and road race bikes) It has a big bore kit of some kind, (size isnt known until he returns) and the heads and intakes were redone by Baisley performance who are very well known. Its got some sort of special cams and alternative cam timing set up, Theres a super trick race pipe for it as well, felt super light, might be just thin wall stainless but Kenny thought it was titanium, The bike was being configured and built for some race class with HP limits and class restrictions. Wont know the rest until middle of April,. But theres a full set of race bike body work up on the shelf and enough parts to make a whole bike out of it, wouldnt need much. Told there is NO TITLE, might be able to get one with a bill of sale from the dealership, or swap frames with a titled frame elsewhere. Or just run it as a track bike,.

more soon when i get time to post pix, but i gotta work in the early AM so off for now...

 

[Abaesler]

pm sent, I've got first dibs on one of the belts!

 

[heagachongoose]

Awesome! Pm sent. Just want to say thanks for taking the time to post this up and for making the effort. +1 to you sir [up]

I will tell you this.. that 1125 engine is hard to come by.. when mine blew up it took the stealership almost 2 months to even get a lead on one.. and another month tobget it in their possession.. cost $6,579.99..... get ahold of that for sure.. good luck. Patiently awaiting pics..

I appreciate the interest, and truth is, I should have waited to post some of this stuff, so i THOUGHT t was going to look it over and be haggling over price on the spot and was looking to build up interest as i THOUGHT i would be looking to buy this stuff in a short period of time, find some buyers for the bulk of it and keep a few bits for myself,
But now i know that it will be roughly mid april before i can even discuss price with the owner. So i got a bit ahead of myself,.
So my new goal here is to post some pix and get some feedback on what some of these parts are, and whats it worth. so assuming i can get this stuff, and im first in line for it, plus theres more stuff coming soon for Triumph as well, I will post details when im ready to start selling So NO CALLING DIBs on anything, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but until its in my hands, or PLAN B i can line up someone else if its too rich for my blood then we can get into making bids, offers, etc.
WHAT I WANT NOW is help in ID'ing some of this stuff, and whats a RETAIL price, and whats the wholesale price, and then i can make the guy a fair offer and of course try and get the best deal possible and then pass the savings onto you guys. I DO NOT NEED ANY OF THIS STUFF, But id like some bits and pieces and if i can sell enough to get my money back, and perhaps a little for my time and investment, and keep a few cool pieces for me, then I dont have any problem passing on the best deals possible to everyone else.
the mention above about the 1125 motor is super helpful, I dont know what a new one is worth, and if i can get it, whoever i sell it to would likely get it for WAY less than the above price, But that info above sure is helpful to me to get an idea of what they go for.
I will also say this, I have no interest in 1125 parts, so good news for you guys. game on. stay tuned for pix. Ill upload a bit as i get time. thanks for your patience

Im told these are 1125 swingarms, plus theres another on another shelf with a belt hanging off it and i THINK a rear axle and caliper. Whats the going retail rate on these? The good buddy prices? I have no experience in 1125s

what i THINK is 1125 bodywork and take off parts, can i get some help in ID on these? Whats something like that going for?

 

[Internet Annoyance]

rear rotors and a sweet looking pipe back there. Im thinking that pipe is XB, any Ideas of what it is? I think these 2 there. 1 stock and the shiny silver is aftermarket? anyone?

Kenny kept calling this a Penske shock, Not sure about that. Anyone recognize it? maybe a stock take off inside the box the race unit came in? or is it some hot **** shock? ID help please,, what are these worth?

 

[Internet Annoyance]

I think the gold ones were Ohlins, and the shelf above looks like stock XB forks i think there was 4 sets on the upper shelf, some shorts some longs. so should be XB for different models. some are new and others might be take offs.

Take a close look here,, any ID on that cool muffler setup? Ive seen those somewhere before, what are they? Sure its for a XB and seems to have part of a catch can setup for Oil/race and brackets for the chin fairings,. Bet its loud eh? any good? some other stuff on the shelf here. Boxs of ECMS, many have tuning ref numbers on them, I will find out from the race team mgr whats flashed on them, they are all RACE USE ECMs, some misc hardware, seats, bits of other odds and ends, Anything that jumps out at you please let me know.

 

[Internet Annoyance]

more misc junk, thats a XB swingarm in the back with a belt, axle and Brake caliper, some wheels, and other misc stuff
