I have an excellent condition Buell XB12R that I am looking to sell or trade for an FJ. I am looking for an FJ with discs and a 4spd tranny. I am looking to be able to pull a small boat trailer hence the disc brake requirement. I would consider a 60 in the right condition.
I am near FT Rucker, AL and would like to find something within 8 hours of here.
for details on the bike, go here (there is probably more on there than you are willing to read about it): WTS/WTT 04 Buell Firebolt XB12R
The big deal about this bike is that it has the Buell race kit, which Buell quit selling a couple years back, making it become incredibly coveted, as well as the fact that Harley shut Buell down at the end of last year which has created the perfect storm for a cult following of these bikes, turning them into collectors items (such as our beloved FJs). The only reason I am even considering selling it, is because I also have an 07 Street Bob and I need something to pull this trailer...wife says one of the bikes has to go.
What I am looking for in a 40:
Disc brakes
4spd
no engine preference, would consider v8 conversion
Running condition
limited rust and body issues
hardtop
decent looking cruiser
some mechanical/cosmetic issues ok
What I am not looking for:
Basket case
project
"it ran last time I drove it"
"it just needs a new tub"
I have decent mechanical knowlege, but due to my current job my time is extremely limited. The free time that I do have, I want to spend driving my FJ to the lake, not working on it.
If you are interested in a trade let me know what you have. Please note, due to Buell going out of business, the market on these bikes is a little unstable right now, you had a lot of people jumping ship and a lot of people picking them up. Therefore, pricing is a little bit arbitrary, although I think my bike is worth roghly $5000 in its condition with the full Race Kit installed. I am looking for a cruiser of equal value.
Thanks, Ryan
