Need buying advice, 2 choices, Buell XB12R Firebolt's

[deleted_7345]

Hi All,

I have been looking solely at Buells for the past 3 months and researched a great deal. I finally narrowed it down to two XB12R bikes I am trying to decide between.

Both are roughly the same condition, both at 14k miles and both are the same price.

From my research, the 08 onward XB's had some really great factory improvements, just wanting your input in-case there is anything I am not aware of?!

Thank you in advance! I am looking at making the decision by 9th Sept, I welcome all input prior.
