Well it's been a while in coming. I've been to a couple of International Motorcycle Shows in Long Beach with my son in order to demo several of the Buell models. Actually he was the one who wanted to ride the Buells. I went there to see the new Kawasaki ZX-14. After a lot of thought, I didn't want the hassle of valve checks and adjustments the ZX-14 would need. I finally decided this last Nov. at the IMS demos that I liked the XB12R's out of all the Buell models best. I went to my local Buell Dealer, Harley-Davidson Fresno in June, to talk about getting one. They didn't have any '07 XB12R's left over, so I waited to see what the '08 models would be like. I liked what Buell did with all the motor improvements, and the Arctic White sealed the deal for me! Plus the fact it's a 25th Anniversary Model! I had to wait over 2 months for the first Arctic White XB12R. My bike finally arrived on the 5th of Sept. I got to take pictures the next morning of it being uncrated! That was the first time I got to see the new color in person. It's fantastic!    I took ownership of the bike on 9/7/07. It's been fun!  (Message edited by xbrfirebolt on September 15, 2007) | ||

Congrats on the new bike! I love that color I even think about maybe getting an r instead of the s I have always wanted just because of the arctic white color. | ||

I've seen pictures of people's cars coming off the haulers when they reach a dealership, but I've never seen anyone photograph their bike being uncrated. Very cool! If I were in your shoes, part of me would want to keep the wrapping paper from that present to myself! :-) Congratulations! | ||

| Molly_hatchet |
yeah , thats really cool..never seen a bike come off the crate like that..thanx. | ||
| Bosh |
I've always liked white bikes. Yours is the best looking I've seen yet. Great combo with the blue!!  | ||
| Bosh |
Dealer set up.... what do they do besides put the mirrors on?? The bike looks complete sitting on the crate. | ||

I took the pictures of it in the crate because I figure I'll probably never buy another new bike again. I took about 20 pictures as it was being unwrapped. I couldn't wait to see the new blue wheel color. Pictures just don't do them justice. I did keep the Buell Logo wrapping off the sides. It's a material like the plastic tarps. | ||

That looks sweet. If I were to buy a new Bolt, it would be that color! Congrats on the new ride. Chad | ||

White is the best color...i have a 03 white 9R...thinking about selling it to my friend in the spring and picking up the bike you got... | ||
| Concor |
Yeah i thought when the bike got to the dealer there was all kind of assembly that had to be done to justify there added cost. WTF? | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Good decision!! I too bought a blue/ white 2008 Bolt in Aug. The white and blue is just a sweet color combo!!! (Message edited by paint shaker on September 15, 2007) | ||

first off love the white and blue.....congrats! Now the dealer prep: its strictly the time it takes them to get it out of the crate, because the crate says BUELL they have a harder time of it then if it said harley.....as we all know anything that says BUELL confuses the hell out of the everyday HD tech. just a theory  (Message edited by ustorque on September 15, 2007) | ||

just a side note i think the grey on the chin fairing should be blue it would look kick ass. | ||
| Sub65chris |
sexy! | ||
| Molly_hatchet |
what torque said...and the headlight inserts...blue anodized levers and blue powder coated heel guards and that thing would look sweeeeet!@!!!!! . | ||

The setup fee must be the time it takes to dismantle the crate to reveal the bike, oh yeah and wiping it down! --Sean | ||
| Gschuette |
That color combo is very sexy! Nice bike! | ||
| Badlionsfan |
i want those blue wheels to go with my blue levers. | ||
| Rotzaruck |
Congratulations!!! I'll bet it was hard not to knock them out of the way and open your own present. Nice bike!!! | ||
| Stevasaurus |
You know, I've been wondering how a Hero Blue translucid air box cover would look on that to go with the wheels and windscreen . . . | ||
