My injury has finally gotten the better of me, and I am not in a position any longer to continue to hold the hope of being able to ride a Buell any time within the foreseeable future. The vibration is just too damaging to my arm, and takes all of the pleasure from my riding. The bike has 18000+ miles on it. Needs some small cosmetic work to finish it up. Motor runs very strong and is still stock. Will/can include, spare XB12 canister, XB9 canister,XB12 header. Currently fitted with race canister that has had the tips cut back. Was intending to add new tips but wanted to get bike running and riding first. Needs to have a dash panel to mount the gauge cluster made. More pics can be provided upon request. $4000 and buyer pays shipping. Delivery could possibly be arranged for areas within reason around Phoenix AZ. The bike does run and ride, I just can't ride it more then a few blocks. Clear title, located in Phoenix AZ shipping can be done through Forward Air very easily. wycked at wyckedcafe dot com is my direct email. |

Mikel, Sad to see you selling her. I pray that your arm will heal in time to a point that you can once again get into the wind... |

Hang in there bro. That has to suck big time and must have been a tough decision to make. I pray you arm heals as well so you can ride again. Take care! |

sorry to hear that wycked. has to be a hard decision. lots of days i debate it because all the injuries i've gotten over the years are starting to haunt me a lot more. that whole motherly advice of "your going to pay for that when u get older" is starting to come true. i am to the point of as long as i can get on it i'm going to ride. not like i can fix whats broke now anyway so i'll just have fun while it lasts. hope to see u back on one in the future. hard to break an addiction like we have! best of luck. |

I haven't given up bikes, I just can't cope with the level of vibration a Buell puts out. I will find something boring and commuter friendly to last until I can ride a Buell again, then I will have another. I couldn't give up bikes if I wanted to, not like I really want to anyways I will keep my sickness thank you and ride until they have to pry my cold dead hands from the bars |

Wycked, Glad to hear you're not giving up riding. For a smooth ride, you might want to check out a BMW. My buddy has a 1200 RS I've ridden and it is so smooth, it almost feels like you are riding an electric bike. Of course it is also quiet. Kind of the polar opposite of my Buell. Ride safe |

Another one too look at is a Vrod Streetrod. Smooth as heck, and a similar seating position to the Buell. Still has a Vtwin torque. |

A smoother Vtwin option would be an Aprilia. I've heard the Tuano described as a wheely machine. Parts availability is their weak point. |

Sorry about your arm Wycked. Thats a very nice price. Its an XB12S right? I assume it's been wrecked? How much was broken in the crash? - Jim |

everything that was broken has been replaced except a few cosmetic items I just hadn't gotten around to yet. It does still need some buttoning up, but other wise it runs as good as the day I got it. Forks, lower triple,tank and chin fairing off an XB9 parts bike that was damaged in the rear section. Top triple purchased from a BadWebber. |
