On that thought, anyone know how many 08 XB12SS's were made? Can only find from 06-10 but not a breakdown of the production years..
Yep, that's a good way to sum up the trip
That pic was before we left :) The bike is pretty dirty now lol.. We got SOAKED! 300 miles from Erie, PA back home it rained non stop.. It was terrible lol.. Also Route 6 was amazing, we practically...
The search is over!!! We flew out of Detroit to Philadelphia, and Took a Lyft into new Jersey to pick up "Cherry"!! Its an 08 XB12SS with 8k miles... Has a bunch of cool upgrades like American Sport...
Guys! I just got my first Buell!! I’m going to post a thread on my adventure... but first some things I noticed on my 700miles home..
It’s an 08 XB12SS with 8k miles...
-Shift effort... The gearbox...
Funny story on that... I contacted a couple guys selling an S and SS.. nobody would let me test ride even though I said I’d pay em for their time.... So I said screw it, and buying an SS lol. Frankly...
Really appreciate the offer! I'm fairly savvy with motorcycles, and the seller seems knowledgeable... Plus this bike looks excellent! We should be set! Thanks tho!
Near Flemington NJ, flying in Friday into Philly... Getting the bike around 5pm... Then start heading towards Scranton where I'll probably spend the night... Then its onto Michigan
I just grabbed a chart on setting the suspension! I didn’t even think of that, since I never adjust it on my bike. Great tips! And yes I will send you a PM. Digging the Buell community so far!
Thanks for the advice!! That's actually the route I mapped out! Then riding the coast up into Michigan :) Just confirmed what I was thinking.. Any advice for my girlfriend? She wouldn't let me go...
The Quest may be over!! I'm flying down to hopefully buy the one in New Jersey! Placed a deposit, planning on riding it home... All 700miles!! Will make a thread about my adventure :)

Oh I totally agree, and I don't want my post to come across angry. Just the millennial bashing gets old.
23 year old here! I got my first bike a 1980 Yamaha XS850 turned caferacer... I actually traded my car straight up for it, and 3 years later I still have the Yammy... Put 20,000 miles on her myself!...

I realized that... These bikes are rare!!! 2008-10 XB12SS's are damn near impossible to find, so when I do find one, I know it will probably be the wrong colors lol

Hey everyone!!! Basically I’ve been dying to get a Buell, I’ve owned several bikes, a old school Honda chopper, a ZX6r, and a older Yamaha Cafe Racer... basically I would like just a nice bike that...
