Peoria, IL Area. Central Illinois.

Recent oil change. Full Synthetic. Premium used only. 8,500 miles on it.

I am selling because I am looking to buy a guitar and possibly downgrade to a smaller bike or scooter. This is the first bike I've ever owned. I loved it, day one. Buell XBs are a blast to ride. The torque and flick-ability is crazy fun. I just don't ride it very much and its a pricey toy that sits in the garage. I will include my leather jacket and helmet if it fits the buyer and they are interested in them.

Bike is mostly stock minus the following upgrades:
Aluminum brake and clutch levers - adjustable
DIY exhaust with custom tips - sounds like a throaty V8 muscle car
K&N air filter with cleaning and recharge kits
LED rear turn/brake signals
Inch drop down foot pegs (I will include the stock ones, if I have them as well as all extras and manuals)
Aftermarket grips

Now, the Bad...
The bike has been down.
There are minor scratches in a few places. Nothing very noticeable.
The brake pedal is slightly bent, I haven't bothered to replace it because it doesn't bother me.
Front tire is low on tread.

I'm 99% percent sure this was my old bike. Did you meet me on the Ohio Turnpike at the IN line when you bought it?

Sweet. That was a fun bike. Liked it so much went out and bought another one several years later when finances were better! Lol. I can attest that muffler sounds awesome. Ok I may be a bit biased as I built and wideband tuned it but it is sweet. Lol. Looks like you didn't ride it much. Does it still have the extended tire warranty? Good luck with the sale! :)

No. There was a issue with transfer of warranty. It had to be done within like 15 or 30 days of sale. I didn't even think about there being a time limit for that. I think the window of opportunity was up by the time we remembered and you mailed to paper work to me. But that would be nice right about now. I do love the bike. It is fun.... I don't really really want to sell it. But my wife is bitter that it is $5,000 sitting in the garage 265 days out of the year. I don't ride much. Looking to maybe by a Sachs Madass 125 and a guitar if I sell it. Different hobbies and a different time. I'm a dad now...things change...But I won't be sad if I don't end up finding a buyer.

Do you still have the raised handle bars, xb9 gearing, and viberider on it?

Bars and vibe are off. Gears are the same.
