Hurry buy it, at that price !
I am looking at buying a Buell Fire Bolt XB9R (guy is selling it for $450)
I'll post pictures below, but he says that "it was layed down. it needs a peg, grip,and two new rims. Both rims are bent. it has 18,255 miles on it. the motor does run but one of the sensers are messed up because if you let the clutch out it cuts off." How much would I be looking at for making this bike tip-top street shape?

Yeah you could easily make 450 back in parts
You could make $450 off the the body work alone!
Sounds like it needs a TPS reset, clutch adjustment and some general TLC.
The rims/wheels will be the most expansive parts to aquire. The scuffs in the plastics and be sanded and buffed back to original condition.
At $450 you could buy rims for it off eBay for $400-$600, depending on the auction, and still have a bike that you could sell for $3k.
Is the frame jacked up at all? Couldn't tell from your pics. And is the tittle still clear?
If you're somewhat mechanically inclined then you have a great deal in front of you. Go for it.
Got a response from the seller saying that he does not have a title and the frame is good.
I am not VERY mechanically inclined, however I have family that is .
In terms of it cutting off when you let out the clutch, that could be as simple as the kickstand wire being frayed or damaged. Still thinks the kickstand is down and kills the bike. You can either fix the wire or bypass it with the 'diode trick' in the fuse box
^^^absolutely agree on the kickstand switch.
What year is it? I forget early models had that switch.
