FS 2005 Buell Firebolt XB9R! $3750, Front Royal, VA Shenandoah Valley Area

Hello TW Community

Due to unfortunate circumstances I am looking to sell my beloved 2005 Buell Firebolt XB9R (for $3750)which I have had for nearly ten years (only has 15,500 miles and counting). I am looking to sell her to help cover my family and I financially until I get back to work deploying for my new contract company (long story short my last company lost the contract I was on and really kinda screwed me by not sending me back down range to work until the end) hence I am waiting to start with my new company but need some more funds due to my youngest having some expensive medical issues. I really don't want to have to sell my Taco yet since it's my DD and I need it much more than my bike.
Anyways, that being said I'm not looking to give her away, she means a lot to me so I'm not going to entertain joke offers, I'm pricing her very fair for what she is. She's in good condition and has very low miles for being an 05 (sits in the garage on the battery tender under the cover while I'm deployed) and hadn't been rode for a while until I got her out just recently. I have put a brand new Jardine RT-1 exhaust on her as well! She also has the frame pucks (that were standard in later years, they literally save the bike if dropped and goes into a slide, no damage will come to the frame), the rear side saddle semi-soft saddle bags, some aftermarket HID bulbs (not installed yet), she has the Buell washable sport air filter as well and last but not least a brand new battery!
She runs like a champ and is an eye turner, these days everybody has a GSXR or Busa but not everyone has a true American made (East Troy, WN heartland of America) sport bike! Buell's are known for their industry leading innovations such as the underslung exhaust, in frame gas tank, floating on wheel brake rotors, molded color body parts (so no paint or scratches to worry about, just buff it out) and more! One of the nice things about the 9R over the 12R is that you get plenty of power out of the 984cc Harley V-Twin while being right under the typical insurance agencies 1k cc power bracket hence usually lower insurance rates without sacrificing power! If you want the performance of a sport bike while, the look of a naked frame cafe racer that looks like nothing else on the road with the roar of a big ole Harley V-Twin then my Buell Firebolt XB9R is for you! She needs nothing, except you! I look forward to hearing from you, I promise she won't disappoint, she's got tons of life left in her, many more year and tons more miles (as you'll notice she's got super low mileage) !!! Looking to meet locally if possible or if absolutely necessary could set up shipping possibly.

Thanks for the read!

Nice bike! If I hadn't just bought wheels, tires, and sliders for my Tacoma I'd seriously consider this... IMO, pretty fair price too considering how rare & unique Buells are. GLWS, and be safe out there!

 

Beautiful bike. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Buell bikes. Wish I had the extra money laying around but a new MacBook Pro is in my near future when the new one is released this fall. GLWS as it's a really nice bike.

 

Thanks guys, yeah she's a beaut, I really hate to even post her for sale but priorities you know. Should hopefully be starting my new deployment job any day now with my new company and if so I may be able to avoid letting her go but we shall see. For now though she's still on the market. Maybe I'll start doing an Uber route with the taco haha! I really hope if she does go then she will go to someone who is an enthusiast you know, someone who can appreciate her and take care of her. My nightmare is some 18y/o pulling up and pulling out a stack of $20s and trying to pop a wheelie while pulling away, at that moment my heart will just break in half...

 

Bump!
