What do ya think?

 

Interesting
My guess is since, when Buell went out of business and you could get new ones at dealerships for next to nothing, it probably drove the price of used ones down.
How far is it from you? If it's not too far can't hurt to go check it out atleast.

 

about an hour and a half away. I'm just wondering why they took the rev limiter off?? I'ts sexy as hell imo.

 

for the miles and year, that seems about right. as long as it hasn't been laid down might as well look into it

 

check the frame

 

X2....... i am always leery of a bike thats been re-painted.......

 

yup, there was a reason for that

 

true. I'll probably take a friend with me who knows a little more than me about bikes. Because I have no clue lol.

e: damnit, I found another.

Really? Sexy? Well I guess if that floats your boat but I always thought the CR version was much better looking....

Yeah that isn't a good sign. But maybe the guy is just a little strange and wanted something unique. I mean he has to be a little off his rocker to buy a buell in the first place.

 

. . . lol Too bulky imo. Trying to stay away from them huge fairings

 

Ummm... what?
It's the same bike as the 1125r but with a smaller head light.

 

really? Maybe it's the color difference throwing me off. As I said, I know little to nothing about street bikes.

 

if this is your first bike, i'd wouldn't go with a 1000+CC bike. But that is just my opinion.

 

No problem.

The front of the 1125r....

 

Decent price. But I'm like most of the other guys. Repainting usually has some kind of reason attached thats not usually purely cosmetic taste. Kind of high mileage, not that its hurt or anything. Its just that its not that hard to find bikes with 1000 to 2500 miles on them. The thunderstorm you found seems like it could be a better deal depending on the year. Ive bought two bikes in the past 4 years. My advice is to not get in a hurry and never pay over trade in value. People need to get rid of these things and if you'll be patient you can find a great deal. My R6 is a 2005 and had 1800 miles on it when I got it. My 05 gsxr 600 had 473 miles on it when I bought it in 2007. Good luck, and keep the rubber down.

my ride

 

^ what he said

 

having ridden several of my friends liter bikes, i also agree something smaller would be not only safer but more fun to ride starting out. more user friendly you might say.

 

Get a busa for a 1st bike totally awesome swaggeriffic bike.. jk

 

Found an R6 to go look at too.

_06 R6 with 6500 miles on it, flush mount front signals and a power commander, and an Akrapovic exhaust. The bike needs a new owner. found out bad news so reason for the sale. I am asking $4000 firm. please feel free to call text or email me
this is the most comfortable bike ever, sounds like a beast___LIMITED EDITION RAVEN/RED
kept indoors not garage indoors Battery is dead so new one like $50

 

id say eff the buells. the r6 would be a better bet IMO. then again if youre a new street rider think about a ninja 650r or somethin a little more tame. i bought a GSXR600 for my first street bike but i had a bit of seat time on numerous street machines over the years. dont get on a bike thats over your head. and always gear up
