Buell Lightning description

2003 Buell Lightning CITYX XB9SX, 2003 Buell XB9S for sale. 984cc, lots of great low end torque and one of the best handling bikes out there with the short wheel base. 24,615 miles. Black in color. Owned for 2 years, great bike. Selling for $2900. Lots of cool technology on this bike, some unique to buell: Frame/gas tank combo, swingarm/ oil res combo, mass centralization, short wheel base, bottom exhaust, Zero Torsional Load (ZTL) perimeter floating front disc brake system. I've set up the bike so it is more comfortable and consider it a "sport-touring" / street bike hybrid. Not original to the bike are Hand guards (from a buell city-x), 1" handlebar riser, black braced handle bar (from a buell city-x), and Zero Gravity Touring Windscreen (Still have original) Bike has lots of other extras: On the bike I have a K&N air filter (recharged at 22.2k), XB12 airbox cover (have original airbox), Right Side Air Scoop (have original), Frame pucks, American Sportbike front turn signals, Integrated LED taillight and signals, Smoked tail light (have original red), Kawasaki Versys mirrors, Breather Re-Route with Aluminum catch can, Headlight grille, Lucas Oil synth, I also have an extra set of balls racing front wheel bearings, Clutch bearing, ECM/ USB cable, misc screws gaskets and parts, original cheesegrater (replaced with all black city-X), Official factory Manual. Recorded Maintenance (other than regular oil changes): Replaced Spark Plugs at 12.1k Replaced Fork oil at 12.7k Neutral Switch at 13.8k Front Wheel bearings at 18.3k Rear Wheel bearings at 22.2k Last Oil Change at 22.2k (Lucas Oil Synthetic) Both Tires were replaced with Perilli Diablos at 18.3K, front is still in great shape, rear tire may need replaced mid season. There is some slight rash on the right side rear swing arm (see picture). This is from the bike sliding out from under me on a gravel driveway at 2-4 mph. Previous owner had dropped the bike at stand-still and I was told the frame was scratched up. Previous owner then got frame pucks for the bike which completely cover any of the damage. I even forget what side he said the damage was on. Would like to sell the bike soon but don't necessarily need to. Thanks for looking! $2,900.00

Erik Buell Featured on Entrepreneur.com

Sat, 25 Feb 2012

Entrepreneur.com, the web presence of Entrepreneur magazine, has a feature article on Erik Buell and his Erik Buell Racing (EBR) company. While the article reveals some lack of knowledge of the two-wheeled world by overusing the term “crotch rocket” as the generic description for sportbikes, this is forgivable considering it’s coming from a publication specializing in small businesses and, well, entrepreneurs, and not motorcycles. The article otherwise does a good job of giving a brief but broad synopsis of Buell and the triumphs and tragedies encountered with BMC (Buell Motorcycle Company) — it’s a good primer on Buell if you’re not fully up to speed on Buell’s life in motorcycles.

2015 EBR 1190SX Revealed

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Erik Buell Racing launches its next salvo to the sportbike market with the 1190SX streetfighter. The 1190SX borrows heavily from EBR’s 1190RX superbike contender that MO’s Troy Siahaan is scheduled to test today at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Although no specs have been released, the SX appears to use most of the RX’s hardware: 1190cc V-Twin engine; aluminum fuel-carrying frame; massive 386mm single-disc front brake.
