Buell Firebolt description

Hey guys, I'm selling my old race bike that's been hanging around in my garage for 7 years. Here's the details.
I bought this bike from my good friend who was on the same team as me back in 2007. He had it as his street bike. I tore it apart as it had 21000 miles on it to upgrade the crankshaft to get the displacement of a 1200. I had Hals Harley Davidson of Milwaukee do all the work.

All said and done this is what went down:
-The old crankshaft's crankpin was 1" so we upgraded to the later model XB's 1-1/8" crank pin. Before they installed it back into the case 7 pounds of steel was removed form the crank to increase HP.
-The top end got new piston rings and gaskets after a light honing as the cylinders were in good shape.
-New valves were installed after a multi angle valve job.
-A true chain conversion kit was fitted on the bike.
-A race ecu was also installed, (not the wimpy ones either)
-The front forks on the stock 03 were narrower so i decided to buy forks from a later model Buell off of ebay.
-The machinists at Hals advised me to switch the primary gears and chain to achieve more hp so those are new too.
-The bike pulls pretty hard! 98 hp and 113 foot pounds of torque at the tire.

So after all this work was done I could not wait to get it out on the track. I raced it 7 times at Road America and Blackhawk farms before fucking Harley Davidson pulled the plug on Erik Buell. For the past 7 years I put less than 7k miles on it. As of mid September it was officially titled to me so I went riding around on it. I found that I'm way to big for it and it will sit in my garage for the next decade...

The vin is a xb9r so thats a bonus as insurance is cheaper than the 12, even though it has more power than the stock 12.
