Buell Lightning description

2003 Buell XB9S Lightning.  You will not find a better bike for the money.  I have the reserve set low.  I purchased this motorcycle from a wholesaler who had it sitting for almost two years.  I work in the car business at a new car dealership.  This bike was traded in on a new truck and then sold to a friend of mine(wholesaler).  The mileage was misstated by the title clerk of the dealership, she wrote 13,000 on the title instead of the true mileage of 11,xxx.  So the bike actually has less miles on than the title states.  

Overall cosmetic condition is very good with a few minor scratches.  Mechanically the bike runs and rides 100% as is should.  Pulls strong and shifts smooth up and down through all 5 gears.  Great clutch feel.  Handling is rock solid.  Rides straight and smooth as an arrow.  Crisp brakes.  Simply a fantastic performing bike for the money.  Has a very small oil leak from the clutch cable where it goes into the primary, just a few drops when parked.  Could be fixed with a new clutch cable($50)

As the condition report above states, the bike runs great all around.  It's completely ready to ride and enjoy.  I purchased it and dailed in the suspension for my weight(190), went over every bolt, put tires to correct psi, put in a brand new battery, changed the engine and transmission oil and oil filter.  

The last four pictures show the imperfections from a previous owner.  Scratches and scuffs on the from left turn signal, frame puck, engine oil cooler cover and swing arm.  The close up of the clutch cable is where it leaks slightly.  

I have a clean title in hand.  Mileage may go up a little from me riding it occasionally.  

Thank you for looking and happy bidding!
