I love the bike, but it has to go. 2004 Racing Red XB12R Firebolt. This was the first red XB12R to be delivered to Ray Price HD/Buell where I worked at the time. I bought it new in October of '03. It currently has just shy of 20k miles on it. I've ridden it quite hard, but it has been meticulously maintained. The bike has only seen synthetic oil since 1k miles and it has been changed religiously. It's currently running on Amsoil in the case with Mobil 1 in the tranny. It has hit the ground twice in it's entire life, once when my wife bumped it with her car and knocked it into the grass, and once when I lowsided in turn 2 at VIR. The damage from the lowside was minimal, I rode the bike back to the pits afterward. The bike currently has a small amount of road rash on the header and the underside of the swingarm. Overall the bike is very clean. Current mods include: Drummer exhaust Techlusion TFI K&N filter Cometic EST base gaskets Polished exhaust header NGK Iridium plugs '06 drive belt Race Tech "ultra slick" fork oil Metzeler M1s LRB Gold brake pads Black hand levers Black center chin fairing Traction grips Buell tankbag Buell touring passenger pillion Buell frame pucks PIAA superwhite high beam M2 Horn I also have a box of stock/spare parts including the OEM muffler, Race ECM, a spare subframe, traction footpegs, lightning footpegs, etc. The tires were put on about 3k miles ago, the rear should last at least another 1k miles before it starts showing the wear bars in the center. I also have a spare M1 front with about half it's life left. The bike is currently located in Fuquay Varina, NC, just South of Raleigh. I would be willing to deliver the bike within a reasonable distance. Pictures are available upon request. Mike Luddy, Jr. MLuddyJr@hotmail.com (Message edited by spike on October 29, 2005) |
