Hey Guys, I may have to sell my bike shortly because I'm in need of a car. I've been the only owner and performed all of the maintenance called out in the manual. The bike has never been in an accident. Here are a couple pictures and list of mods: - Special OPS Exhaust - Erik Buell Racing Race ECM - Buell Right Side Scoop - Corbin Seat - Ventura Rack and 51 Liter Bag - Buell Heated Grips - Pirelli Angel Tires Thanks, Nick |

Beautiful bike. Check around on ebay motors and various craiglists in your area to see what similar bikes are being sold for. Also check KBB aand NADA websites for used bike prices. That will give you a starting point. If you do sell the bike remove all the accessories and add-ons and sell them separately. You won't get anything for them if you sell them with the bike. I'm interested in purchasing your Ventura rack system and right side scoop. |

Don't accept a penny less than $10,000. I'd not accept ANYTHING less than $8000 for my '05 12r IF i could bring myself to sell it |

Agreed. That there is a 10K bike to those who don't don't know any better. We who know better, know that it's a priceless, beautiful machine that will one day soon be irreplaceable. I feel it is my duty to say this: Screw the car, keep the bike |

Yes it is a $10k or priceless bike to us Buell heads but the same bike can be bought for $5k. |

"Just bought a 2009 xb12R with extra exhaust etc. for 5500.00 and it came with 2 brand new M.Tires front and rear under 5000 miles..." WOW! steal of a deal. I paid 4200 for my bone stock 07 12R (10700 mi.) with about 90% of the scorpion syncs used up. |

Thank you for all of the input. I really don't want to sell the bike, but I'm going to have to when I get a car. I don't like having any loans.....I will try to sell all of the accessories when I do, so stay on the lookout. Nick |

Hell, I have an 03 XB9S with 25k on her... The lowest i'd accept is about $5,500. I barely ride, but for anything less then 5500, i'll be keeping her. (not listed for sale, just saying.) |

nick dont forget its not what the bike is worth on the street its what the buyer is willing to pay for and what its worth to them. theses bikes are going to get harder and harder to find in good shape and low miles like yours. plus once the ebr 1190 and new models come out who knows the older buells may become even higher in value, it all depends on the market. btw - what type of accessories are you thinking about selling when or if the bike goes? |
