so did you keep the RC, or trade it on the 1125?

traded it in, it had 33k miles and was getting ready to be serviced in the future, with the deal buell offered i was silly not to take it, by the time i paid someone to check the valves and check out the clutch, prolly replace the some parts i would be almost buying the buell, and i would of still had an 9 year old bike with 33k miles

True story...

I am wondering though, if the anny edition is going to be worth some $$ in the future...

Is the XB9 only available in the SX version, or was there ever an R version?

Only as a SX at this point....well...as of 2009 anyway.

There was no xb9r after 03 or 04, I believe.


There were other 984cc bikes, just no firebolt.

Well you know I'd have to have some kind of Lightning, because of the pimp dual round headlights

The XB9R was produced up until the 2009 Model Year.

The 9 motor is really one of the best motors produced by Buell. It didn't have the low end grunt of the stroked 12 motor (same bore longer stroke), but it was MUCH smoother.

The only new bikes coming with the 9 motor are the SX. The City X (XB9SX) is a fantastic commuter/urban bike. Good low end torque, smooth engine, low fuell consumption (55-60MPG).

I have three XB9SX bikes waiting. Two Red, one Blue.





You can do a big bore kit for them and get very good power and torque out of these motors.
