My brother in law needed a great transportation bike with good mileage, good power, supreme comfort and excellent "visibility" in Orange County traffic. I, of course, recommended a Uly. And he bought one... but at 5'9", he's struggling a bit with the height, and he can't come to terms with it.

So, we're selling his Uly. This is a nice, clean example with just over 8k miles. The bike has been serviced exclusively at Glendale Harley Davidson (where it was purchased new), and needs nothing--everything works as it should.

Good:
Well, its an '09 Uly! It has the superb newer 47mm forks, remote preload adjustable rear shock, an excellent perch, the improved crank bearings, improved ECM/fueling, "blacked-out" Thunderstorm 1203cc engine, etc. It features heated grips, superb ground clearance, excellent handling, etc. It is currently shod with like new (less than 500 miles) Michelin Pilot 2CT's, and has just been serviced (oil change, Buell filter, etc.) by the dealer. The headlights have been upgraded to an HID system for excellent night time visibility.

Not so Good: The PO went a little ape-sh*t with reflective tape. It's on the swingarm, subframe rails, and the forward part of the frame. You may not mind so much, but if you do, it can easily be removed (well, with a little elbow grease, anyway...). The PO also "de-badged" the bike, so all of the Uly and Buell stickers were removed. I understand that these can still be purchased from HD, American Superbike, and a number of other sources.

The very cool rear pivoting backrest/top case holder thing also has a couple extra holes where a top case was mounted. The top case can be included, but it is a very inexpensive model barely worthy of the "farkle" moniker. It works and is keyed--the purchaser is welcome to it if he wants it.

So, the bike is a sweet running tourer, commuter, adventure, or whatever-you-want-it-to-be bike. It is tall, so the short of inseam would have to source the "low" seat, or just ride it...

I can pick you up from any of the local airports, or my brother in law can meet you locally for the sale. The bike will get you home--I would personally not hesitate to ride it anywhere in the country if I were so inclined. We would also do anything to assist with shipping. The title is a clean, clear California title.

New Price: $6,000 obo. Reasonable offers will be considered. I don't think he's looking for any trades, but I would forward any trade offers sent by PM. Please PM or email me at: Erwin8r@gmail.com

Bike is located in Southern California (near Los Angeles).

Thanks.

Brother in law found the bike he wants (a clean 1125R... lol). Price drop: $6000. Very motivated, and a great price on a very sweet Uly!

Just confirmed that the reflective tape comes off easily (he pulled it off the subframe--it came cleanly off).

That's a great price for a very clean looking Uly, it should go fast.

That's a great deal. And the fly to Seattle to ride it back anywhere would just be a bonus.

I am actually in Southern California (San Dimas area, just east of Los Angeles). So you could fly into John Wayne or Ontario airports... : )
