Thanks you gentleman for the compliments. Not your typical S1W. Most don't have all the xtra stuff added on. Honestly not really true to the Eric Buell S1W theme of a minimalist hot rod bike. But hey, I was having so much fun, and there were so many cool ideas here on BadWeb ... here is a pic of Eric and my best friend and I at Daytona years ago...

.. my wife reads the ad and laughs... She said that is the most "....please don't buy my favorite toy ad ever ..." : )

Wow, that is very nice. Just curious why you will only sell to someone who has already owned a Buell. Are you trying to make sure some jerk doesn't chop it or that they won't have the mechanical patience to take care of it?

i think a true bueller is the only type that could apreciate a bike like this. NICE

To the email private party, sorry no trades at this time.

Thank you for the kind words. I know its unrealistic and selfish and probably arrogant to try to push my ideas of this bike on a new buyer. Their money their choices right ? But since she is still mine and I can choose who gets her I want to try to keep her in the bubble she was built/tarted up in. yea, I'm only going to sell to a real Bueller not a parts house or chopper hack...so if she sells ok. : (

If not ok too : )

Also riding this Buell and most of her vintage you need to really know mechanical or have the inclination to work on them and learn from you guys, the great resources that Blake hosts, like I did.

Akironic, I don't see many yellow S1.. pretty bike. I really like the Gap as well.

Grancuda here is the posting with all the details when I did the vrod light. you can see the Blue pipes on the bike too.
