Selling my 2002 X1. I bought it in 2012 and don't think I've even put a 1000 miles on it. Original tank cover color was black, but it sort of had a greenish hue to it so for some reason I painted it a 3-stage pearl Ford color called Tangerine Scream...but hey, when you buy it you can paint it any color you like! $3900. Just thinning the herd... Things I added: -American Sport Bike air cleaner (yes, I noticed the missing cover bolt) -Buell-branded Supertrapp muffler -Ceramic coated headers =Pegasus seat -Seat fairing powder-coated black |

I have more pics but this 1920 x 1920 pixel limit is frustrating as hell. I can send via email if you're interested...shoot me a PM. Thanks, Dave |

I dont think anyone here does and thats not a bad thing. Youngins are not buying these bikes. If I KNEW HOW to work on motorcycles and didnt have one I would. If NOT then you wont find the buyer here I rekon. |

That's a beautiful bike for not much money. I have been watching the used bike market a little, it seems that modern and vintage bikes are not selling very well. The vintage market has really slowed down from what I see. |

Buelljunkie, i would post it on bringatrailer.com You can set a reserve, (3500) and i think you would do fine. |

Buell junkie, Bringatrailer.com has a hugh following, with everything from super cars, classic cars, to Motorcycles, from old BMWs, to newer Ducati's. I have seen a few Buells, but they were either XBs or 1125s. The auction lasts for 7 days, there is a simple listing fee for the seller, and the buyer pays a percent of the final sale. Check them out, as they will come out to take pictures/ write up of your bike. I think your with the low mileage, and beautiful condtion should do well. |

See the mileage now. I'm in Florida and have some nice blue strike plastics that would look good on it (Message edited by bsanorton on July 19, 2024) |

Red - Thank you for the additional input, I think I am going to give it a try. Bsa - well come and get it so those nice blue strike plastics aren't just sitting there with nothing to do! |

Curious- has the bike been refreshed recently? like fluids, suspension, engine mounts, gaskets, battery etc? |

Hi Ish - I've never reached 3000 miles in a year (or even in two years) on this bike, but fluids get replaced every 2 years or less regardless of mileage. This is the case for all of my bikes filled with dino oil. Typically the oil is still honey-gold when I drain it. The rocker cover gaskets were replaced several years ago, engine mounts on this bike are the newer style but show no signs of needing attention, battery was new last year (Throttle-X). Forks have not been serviced mainly due to the low mileage, and I don't think I've seen any leakage...but it would prob be a good idea to get it done. |

I can tell you that the fork oil in these will hold up and the forks tend not to leak. In other words if I bought this I would not rush to change the fork oil. I would not even plan it. |

Welp...despite there being no Buells currently up for auction on their site, bringatrailer is not interested in my X1. There were a few 1125's, a Hammerhead, and couple XB's in the auction history, but I didn't see any tube frames that weren't the unicorn variety. I spent a couple hours putting a lot of detailed info in there, checking my records, receipts, etc...so a bit disappointing they weren't interested. I'd much prefer to sell here, but I think I need a bigger audience to sell this thing. Appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.. |

I'm surprised they wouldn't take it. (More surprised it hasn't sold yet. If I had money and space...) Anyway, I'd try hemmings. |

Beautiful Motorcycle! If I only had the cash... I sure wish you luck with your sale. I'm very surprised it's still available. |

Try cars and bids. I've not seen a bike there, but who knows. BAT is a bit fussy on bikes, unless it's a Ducati. H Good luck! |

Hey Buelljunkie, last week bring a trailer, finally listed a tube frame buell, and S2, and it is owned by someone on here as well. It closed today for $4500. Im in illinois as well, and if i had the room i would buy yours in a minute...but maybe you can recontact bring a trailer and see if they would list yours, now that they know the tube frame buells will bring in a little cash. Your bike is beautiful, as i had the same colors on my first s1. Just putting it out there. |

Thanks, Dan...it's worth a shot I suppose. Btw...I have NOS HVY bodywork if you need any for your S1. |

It's a shame even Court can't sell his bike on here. If it was listed for free someone would ask you to pay shipping. BWB ain't what it used to be...... |

buelljunkie, did you try hemmings yet? i cannot believe this hasn't sold yet. if i had the space... i tried to get my friend in chicago interested in this, but he's got too much on his plate at present, and is looking to relocate out of the area. |

Hi Rike, I appreciate the suggestion...I'll give them another look. I haven't tried them yet. In the handful of times I've looked around on the site I have yet to see a Buell listed. Won't hurt for me to register and offer it up for their 'consideration'. Thanks again for offering another option. Dave |

I just realized I dropped the price to $3300 twice, so let's try $3100... |
