I have a very sharp black and red 2007 Firebolt XB12R with Breather Mod and new comfort hand grips, Bar ends & Buell Comfort Seat. I have owned this Bike since 3K Miles and ride daily, I recently had the 5K mile service done @ approx 5700 mi. I attended the MSRC and the AMOS (Kieth Code Course) on it and learned a ton. This bike will lean over way farther than I have dared to go. After the course they gave us new Dunlop Qualifiers, not top of the line but good all around tires. I have had New River Harley do all services since I received it to include all recalls and oil changes. They installed the new tires and grips and I had them put Nitrogen in the tires. Never worry about tire pressure in the changing temperature. I ride Rain or shine to work and back and often on weekends with my wife. This bike has no problems 2 up and I have taken my larger sister around with no difficulty. The bike handles like a dream. I intended to change the color scheme to black and blue and have changed the stickers. If you want to put them back to red it's just $7 from Harley. The blue and red looks nice, and for an extra $500 I can include the other Translucent HERO Blue body pieces and windscreen I purchased. I have a Pair of saddle bags that I use a lot and they have slightly scuffed the hips, but Dave (Buell Mech at New River) says a little Harley Gloss will buff them right out. I am selling this and My wife's 2000 Purple Buell Blast P3 (see my other items) due to PCS-ing to Okinawa in July. This bike has never been down as far as I know. There was no evidence of it when I bought it from it's first owner, and I have never dropped it. I get 45-60 miles per gallon, 45 commuting to and from work in 1st-2nd gear, and around 60 when on the interstate going up to Raleigh or down to Wilmington. The Firebolt features the patented Buell inside out "Zero Torsional Load" ZTL Brakes on the front providing incredible stopping power smoothly from a very light setup. The fuel is in the frame, the oil is in the swing arm, and the exhaust is under slung to reduce weight. It also uses a belt drive with tension pulley for direct power to the wheel with no "chain lash". The bike is very light at 395 lbs dry. It gets it's power from the Harley Thunderstorm V-Twin with 1203 CC's. It's Torquey. I have a stack of additional pictures showing close ups of tread wear and other bits. Just email me. There are very few Buell riders and riding one is unique. You'll see lots of bikes but people will ask you "What's that?" all the time. Don't be just another rice rocket, ride the Real American Muscle. Ride a Buell and 'Own the Corners.' Call JR at 615-491-3943 or Dana at 615-496-2914 Price: 8,500 or best offer. Call Now. I can deliver within a reasonable distance of Jacksonville NC.
