Buell Lightning description

2003 Buell XB9S Lightning.  You will not find a better bike for the money.  I have the reserve set low.  I purchased this motorcycle from a wholesaler who had it sitting for almost two years.  I work in the car business at a new car dealership.  This bike was traded in on a new truck and then sold to a friend of mine(wholesaler).  The mileage was misstated by the title clerk of the dealership, she wrote 13,000 on the title instead of the true mileage of 11,xxx.  So the bike actually has less miles on than the title states.  

Overall cosmetic condition is very good with a few minor scratches.  Mechanically the bike runs and rides 100% as is should.  Pulls strong and shifts smooth up and down through all 5 gears.  Great clutch feel.  Handling is rock solid.  Rides straight and smooth as an arrow.  Crisp brakes.  Simply a fantastic performing bike for the money.  Has a very small oil leak from the clutch cable where it goes into the primary, just a few drops when parked.  Could be fixed with a new clutch cable($50)

As the condition report above states, the bike runs great all around.  It's completely ready to ride and enjoy.  I purchased it and dailed in the suspension for my weight(190), went over every bolt, put tires to correct psi, put in a brand new battery, changed the engine and transmission oil and oil filter.  

The last four pictures show the imperfections from a previous owner.  Scratches and scuffs on the from left turn signal, frame puck, engine oil cooler cover and swing arm.  The close up of the clutch cable is where it leaks slightly.  

I have a clean title in hand.  Mileage may go up a little from me riding it occasionally.  

Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

EBR First American Sportbike To Score Points In WSBK, Makes History

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

The EBR 1190RX had its best finish to date in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) series during the only US round at Laguna Seca in Salinas, Calif., this past weekend. In an exciting twist, the wild card entry of Larry Pegram running the #72 Foremost Insurance/EBR/AMSOIL/Hero entry garnered a 14th place finish in the second race, earning the first-ever WSBK points for an American motorcycle manufacturer.  [In actuality, Pegram's EBR crossed the line in 16th place. However, the two Bimota BB3 entries who finished eighth and ninth with riders Ayrton Badovini and Christian Iddon, respectively, have had their finishes nullified all season because Bimota has not met the FIM's homologation requirements.
