The demo rides at March Badness did me in. I'm really considering buying a used XB12..can't afford a new one. However, did the Lightning ever come in Blue? I've seen lots of Firebolts in blue...but can't seem to figure out which year Lightning might have? |

05 was a blue year for the Lightning, 06 as well, only a darker blue. There very well be other years. |

Thanks guys...so where can I see a comparison of the different Blues? I've always been a blue guy...not red. My Miata is blue, my SV was blue, but I'm thinking it may not be the most popular XB color. Correct? |

Drummer I see on your profile that you have a Hawk GT. Coolness! WHen you get the Buell, consider keeping the Hawk. Besides being one of the greatest products Honda ever produced, it is also become a collectors item. And I hope you find yourself a nice blue XB. Asbjorn |

Thanks guys very much for the info. Doerman, yep I have a grey HawkGT that is in pristine condition. It was ahead of it's time and if you live near the twisties it is a great bike to have. Glitch, thanks for the photos. Terrys, if my wife gives me the go-ahead and I find a black one...I'll we happy to swap plastic with you. Steve |
