[100thwindow]

Ok since i had my xb12ss stolen a few weeks ago im in the market for another buell. I found this at a bike shop for 4900 dollars. Its an 08 and it has 5600 miles on it. My question is do yall think this is a good deal? and what is that thing i circled? ive seen it in black and in grey. thanks

Nothing to be worried about, it's just plastic and faded.

If I had a dollar for every pixel in that second picture... well, I'd have a dollar.

Looks like the heat from the exhaust and the motor cook the color right out of that pastic!

LMAO... That hit my funny bone just right

Make sure the clutch weep fix has been done or it will cost you a few hundred...

Yeah I spoke with the salesman over the phone and he said he didn't know the bikes history. He just knows it was a bank repo. Is there any way I can tell if it has been fixed? I also found a 2000 triumph Daytona 955 in real good condition for a steal! I think they look sweet. Has anyone here owned one before?

I'd get a newer model Daytona, I've heard nothing but awesome reviews from some owners on here and just about every article I've read, A Daytona Will be my next bike in the next few years! (or a speed Triple...)

Id love to get an 08+ daytona but they are a little too pricey for me right now
this is the bike. they want 2800 and it has 20k miles

 

[Semperfi]

Yeah 2,800 for that Bic lighter seems way too much. I would get the 1125. It's an 08 so you don't have to worry about stator problems and the clutch weep is a cheap fix for the amount of bike you get for that price.
