Alright buellers, I finally got the promotion at work that will allow me to buy a sportbike. Instead of financing, I am just going to wait for about 5 months until I have the money to buy it outright. I race MX for a honda dealer here in FL, and one of the salesman at the shop ALMOST had me talked into a triumph speed triple the other day, but i definatly have my heart set on a new buell. Anyone on this board ever dealt with HD of FT myers or Rossiters HD in Sarasota? Just wondering if their service dept was up to par.

Happy Buelling!

I've BEEN to Rossiters, a couple of years ago and they looked nice, a few Buells, not a lot of Buell shirts, but the people GENERALLY were nice. Look up Buellistic here on the site, he could probably give a pretty good answer as to where to go.

Congrats on the promotion!

Hey Jacob, many moons ago I used to race the FTR hare scrambles circuit... miss those days!

Make the trip to Wisconsin, you won't regret it ;)

HD of Ft Myers has a fine service department. I've only had my Buells (XB9 & S3T) in a couple of times but the work was done on time and done right. Plus, the guys there are A-1. One of the service techs was previously a test rider for HD out west. My experience has been outstanding.

Can't help with the dealerships.

Have you ridden an XB Buell yet? When I first got mine, I kept thinking it was just like a big dirt bike.

Lots of fun, they are.

Good luck, and congrats on the promotion.

OK, IF ANYONE CAN TALK ME OUT OF THIS PLEASE DO! A co-worker just found out his wife is expecting, and wants to sell me his 04 R1 FOR 3K!!!!!!!!! it only has 2500 miles on it. I want a buell soooooo bad, but maybe i will ride this for a while, then sell it and possibly make a few bucks on it when its time to sell.

I have been known to stand in line at mcdonalds for 5 min deciding between a mcgriddle and a mcmuffin, how am i supposed to decide between a great bike and a great deal?

The thrill of a great deal can quickly fade, while the enjoyment of a cherrished ride will last and last.

Also... if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Be careful.

Wish I could help you by buying the R1.....
(reaches into pocket and pulls out a crumpled up $5 bill)

If the R1 really is in excellent cond., $3K is about half what it's worth. Personally, I would scoop up the deal, turn right around and sell it, and not even put the title in my name(but put the extra $3K in my pocket).

p.s. The laws concerning vehicle titling may vary.
Check your local laws......yada, yada.
