There’s not a big bike culture here. Plenty of Harley’s, but not even a lot of gixxers or ninja 250’s, so when you see a buell, you can bet your ass the rider is an enthusiast [emoji23]
Guy selling this said the last time it ran/was on the road was 1993.... How the fuck do you have a bike that is one of 59 built and let it sit in the corner and rot for 25 years?
That anti dive looks like some WWII era shit :lol:
I feel like that’s where most rare old bikes and cars went to. A lot of rare stuff just disappears and either never turns up because it rotted beyond help and got thrown away, or it shows up 20-80 years later in the back corner of a basement or shed.
Guy says it’s an 03 XB9 with an 1169 big bore (XB12 conversion with the 9 short stroke crank), 14:1 CR and fuel cut at 8400rpm. 114whp and 94ft/lbs on 110 octane
