Hey all,

This sucks that I have to do this. I'm selling my Buell cause there is stuff I have to get fixed on the house. This bike has only 667 miles on it. It has the light mod, bar end mirrors, Hawk Performance exhaust and the Tail section has been custom modded. I bought this bike brand new 5 months ago. I'm asking $8500obo. I hate to see it go,but I can always get another one later down the road. I have some pics under my profile. I can post some others later.

Mike

I thought 2008 models had the thunderstorm engine. The timing cover looks like the older motor in those pics.?

Going to drop the price $8000. Hopefully that will get some more bites. You guys are right the book said 2008. So I checked the VIN..It states it is a 2007. Still I bought this bike as a left over from the dealer and it only 688 miles on it. I bought it with 12 miles on it.

Bump!

And a question: it's a "Long," isn't it?

And a question: it's a "Long," isn't it?

Baal, does your question mean if it is Ss or S wersion?
If so then it is S (short) not Ss (long) version.

You can see it when looking at the frame.

Here are a couple of pics where you can see some differences between Long and Short versions wich could help you to figure out what is what.

long Ss

short S
http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/7480_20101206003335_L.jpg

Now you can see the following differences
- the frames are different (ribs in the frame puck area have different angles)
- the gaps between the muffler and the rear wheel are different (if the muffler is stock)
- rear wheel fenders are also different (if it is stock)
- the tails (seat subframe and seat itself) are of a different length and angle
- the swing arms are also of a different length

So if you look at Mikeyg1328's bike frame and rear wheel fender you'll see it is a very nice XB 12 S model;)
