     Limitedx1 |
Is there a sheet or site that shows how many of each limited edition models were made and how many were shipped over seas? red racing strips, milleniums, carbons, liquids.....etc. court do ya have anything or info? | ||
| Court |
The sheet would be the factory "build sheet". The challenge would be taking the time to dig through it, sort it (not that tough in Excel) and do the counting. The REAL problem becomes spending 3 months defending the answer . . so, in essence the answer has pretty much become "not available" . . . but, it's not that it doesn't exist. | ||

Any way to get ahold of this excel sheet...........? | ||
| Court |
Not really . . . first of all it's not only big . . . it's HUGE as it captures every morsel of information. It's not so much any sort of secret other than it always (see above post) results in many more questions . . . . I'd ride the bike and enjoy the heck out of it. What do you have one of the Red Stripe? | ||
| Limitedx1 |
oh im not really worried about the value or anything and i ride teh heck out of my bike. i was just kinda more curious about how many bikes total they made per year, and then how many went over seas | ||

I have asked that question to myself before. The summer 2008 Fuell touched on it and I really got curious. It has a pic of a millennium and states that the approx. number built was only 661. How is this so, I have #800. Yeah I see what you mean Court... more questions. https://www.buell.com/en_us/_media/pdfs/owners/Fue ll-2008/Fuell-Summer-2008.pdf (page 8) | ||

Figure about, depending on the year, between 50 and 65% going overseas. Be mindful that there are variants, like the Lightning Strike, that were sold in other places but never in the USA. I may have to dig through all the "limited" editions sometime and just get some raw numbers. | ||

Court, What was the Lightning Strike? Were there many models not sold in the US? | ||
| Limitedx1 |
Court i wish we could dig through that list..... mdoughten...nice article that was one of my questions...how many of each model were made total...so if that article is close to right, they may a total of like 4500 s1's and like 11500 x1's. do those numbers represent per year, or over the model span? | ||

Lightning Strike is the overseas version of the White Lightning. | ||
| Court |
There was a White Lightning sold in Europe as well as a Lightning Strike. I'm going to have go back and dig out my press kits and build info. | ||
| Limitedx1 |
please forward them to my email!!!! pm me | ||
| Court |
Here's some stuff from some internal European communications. I'll keep digging. All my press kits from 2000 on are digital. The older ones are all high res Kodachrome slides and paper.

Well, the Carbon Fiber were 250 badged bikes(I have #249)[99]... I think the Race Stripe was either 400, or 800[2000] I cant really offer anything else... Chase | ||
| Limitedx1 |
my race stripe is #331, i have only ever seen pictures of maybe two other stripes on bad web. how many out of the 800 went over seas? and how many were actually made. i never see gas caps on ebay either......i know these questions are hard to answer, but the info is out there somewhere | ||

I have Red Racing Stripe #459,I live in Ontario Canada.I have yet to see another in Canada but I did see one at bike week this year.I was told that there were only 3 import into Canada when they were new ( by a Harley/Buell dealer).I have yet to confirm this.I have seen a millennium X-1 for sale locally.As far as I knew for 2000 Buell made 800 Red Racing Stripe with 400 of them exported.800 Millenniums were made with the same 400 exported.Can anyone confirm this?

I had #289 2000 X1 Millenium it was totaled by a drunk driver. 30 days after I bought #274 2000 X1 Red racing stripe. I have the Lucky Devils poster signed by Eric B I know there is another rider in Maryland that has a Red racing stripe like mine, and the #4 bike was next to mine when I bought it. There is an old Motorcycle Consumer News magazine that has the article on the release of these bikes, I still have it in my house. I read the article and saw my first X1 on the floor at the local dealer and bought it. K | ||

Canyon Red DBC 75049 Race Stripe White DBC-91853 Red Snap DBC 75050 Spark Red DBC 75056 anybody know which red the racing stripe bikes are? also does anyone know where the mix codes would be? | ||
| Babired |
hey we never identified this guy....  | ||
| Mdoughten |
I don't know who this guy is, but I love the pic. I found it on killboy a while back, and it has been my desktop pic since. (he's a little close to the center line, cool pic none the less) Back to topic. Court, Any info on the Millennium models in all that data you hold? | ||
| Babired |
MD did you get the limited edition key fob when you bought your X1? When I bought mine the dealer tried to hold onto it and I knew about it thru the MCnews article I read before I bought my first X1. I still have mine with the original gas cap. K | ||
| Burdette |
Babired What does the key fob look like?Do you have pictures? Is it for the Racing Stripe or the Millennium? Andrew | ||
| Court |
 Kathy is THE authority on the Limited Edition Red Stripe! Too cool ! | ||
| Babired |
YEAh YEAH I got it with the Millennium, the Racing Stripe did not have one, I asked the dealer for it when I took delivery on the Race stripe, and the MCnews article did not say if the Racing Stripe came with one. I will take pictures of the X1 Millennium key fob for you and post them. I've been tearing up my house looking for the MCnews article. Its cool when you read about a bike then see it gleaming underneath the dealer showroom lights then buying it. That Buell opened up so many doors for me in the MC safety world K | ||
| Babired |
Burdette here are the photos of the Millennium limited edition key fob back and front. Anybody else have this one?  | ||
| Babired |
here is the other side  | ||
| Mdoughten |
Babired, Yes I do have the keychain fob. Mine hasn't been carried as much as yours. I've always kept it with the extra key so it wouldn't get roughed up. Can anyone tell my how the summer 2008 Fuell mag. stated there were only 661 Millennium models produced and #800 is out there? What happpened to all the other gas caps? Which ones were left out? Why? I have never seen another Mill. with my own eyes. I have seen them for sale on here and on ebay. I sure haven't seen one more uniquely numbered than mine. Wonder were #1 is at? Does Eric have it as part of some kickass collection in his barn? Boy, I sure have alot of questions now don't I!!  |
