Buell Lightning description

I reluctantly am posting up my favorite bike yet, a 2000 Buell X1 Lightning. It is America's only Sportbike, one which I define as a "muscle bike." It sounds and feels much like a '68 Camaro with a 454, but one that can also corner. It has a 1203cc V-twin engine, with fuel injection and a 5 speed transmission. The torque on it is amazing and you will never feel it lacking, I assure you.

Buell X1 Lightning
-~17.7k miles
-1203cc V-twin
-5 speed transmission
-Fuel Injected
-Race ECM and Tune
-Clean and Clear Title

-Tires have plenty of tread on them. Can take pics if you'd like.

Work that has been done on it:
-Primary sprocket/pulley seal has been replaced (was leaking)
-The infamous and commonly failed Crank Seal has been replaced with a improved two-lip design.
-Starter gasket replaced
-New Baker front pulley that was bumped I think up one tooth by the shop, should help with highway speeds/mpg
-New drive belt
-New EBC pads front and rear.

It starts up every time, idles and runs very well, all through the rpm range. Went on a 45 minute cruise the other day without hiccup. The good news is that I just replaced that stupid crank seal that is the most common laborious failure on these bikes. It brakes well, turns great, rides smooth, and is a joy to be on. The clutch engages well and haven't had issues with it or the transmission. It also has a neutral indicator light, turn signals, horn, flash2pass, high and low beams, kill switch, lockable steering, gas light, oil/engine light, speedo, tach, and trip.
