Buell Lightning description
This was a one owner Buell which was a trade-in on a new Mercedes-Benz. Since the Mercedes dealer is not in the motorcycle business they sold the bike to the local BMW motorcycle dealer who I purchased it from. I am a licenced wholesale dealer and the bike has been my personal rider since February, 2011.The bike had only 877 miles on it from new when it was traded in by the original owner on the Mercedes. The original owner had the bike in his collection of sport bikes. The bike has never been down and has never been abused and is completely stock. I have installed some high quality bar end mirrors and a slightly taller wind screen as well as a new pair of Buell bags. I have the items which I upgraded and they, as well as the new bags go along with the bike. I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and I'm getting ready to buy more of a "sport tourer" type of machine, so the Buell has to go. If I had the garage space to keep the Buell I would do so, but I have too many projects going on, so this bike has to go inorder to make room for another bike. These Harley powered Buells are starting to go up in value, and due to their relatively small production numbers these bikes are beginning to become collectable. As of today the bike has only 2698 miles on it. I may put a few more miles on it before it goes away, but once the winning bid is in I will park it in the garage. If you're looking for a fun and dependable sport bike that's made here in the USA and easy to get serviced, this is the one for you.
