PostPosted: 27 Feb 2011 19:37 
XB12R Firebolt 56 reg
Black/Amber
V5
8470 miles
Standard
Currently on SORN
Full service history
new metzeler sportec M3 tyres 300 miles ago
new EBC HH front pads 400 miles ago
very good condition, clean.

Bought last year to resume road riding after a while not riding, got collared by the feds almost straight away so am now making room for a very slow classic bike instead! Buell is faultless, had slight brake judder until I got pads changed, now gone and brakes really good. (many threads on here about standard pads causing problems).

£3995 ono.

Bike can be seen in local bike shop:
Roadracer International
74 London Road
Purbrook
Hampshire
PO7 5LW

(they also had a blue XB9R last time I looked)

Thanks, bike had been in dealers showroom for year before I got it, I kept it garaged and been in shop since late last year, so well kept! I don't wanna ride on road and it's far too nice to use as a trackbike, be a nice bike for someone!

Shame I didn't know you as a rider, as I live in Cosham, Portsmouth and own an XB12Scg... Would have been nice to have gone for a couple of rides..... :(

Yeah would've been good. I literally only rode a handful of times though, got nicked and decided to sell bike. I now have an old Ural to potter about on that is physically unable to break any speed limits!
If you know any local Buellers (or potential Buellers) send them up to Roadracers for a look! ;)

Very nice! Would like a Buell again in some distant, non recession, semi retired, double garaged future! Oh well..
