I think I've seen a list of the XB color schemes available by year, but can't seem to find it again. Can you help?

03- XB9R

silver wheels

03 XB9S & SL
Black or yellow
silver wheels

04 XB9S &SL
same as above
silver wheels

04 XB9R
battle blue with white stickers & white wheels

04 XB12R & XB12S
Black or red
amber/gold stickers/wheels

05 XB9R
Yellow with white stickers & wheels

05 XB9SX
Hero blue, black wheels

05 XB12R
black, red or thrust blue.
amber/gold stickers & wheels

I'd do 06 & 07 but I'm out of time. I'll do them tomorrow if no one has done so yet.

Metalstorm - Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Does this site have a page for "reference" information? If so, I haven't found it. Factory specs (including colors available, and photos representative of each model) for all years and models (not just XB's) would be good to have in one central location.

I don't know if such information exists here or not. If it does it would surely be found in the Knowledge vault.

For some reason I'm having a hard time remembering 06 options. I must be more tired than I thought.

I believe the 06 lightnings & Firebolts are the same as 05. The 12Scg gets the added see through orange option. I can't remember if the standard 12S was available in that as well. I'm thinking yes. The XB9SX gets the kick ash color option added.

Uly is introduced in black or barricade orange

12Ss is introduced in Sunset orange with sunset orange wheels. I can't remember if it was offered in black. I'm thinking no.

That is a picture of a 2004 and no they did not have blue with white stickers. Only orange stickers.

There was a 2003 Battle Blue XB9R, not sure about the color of the decals though.

The 04 XB9R's had silver wheels, not white. The white wheels started with the 05 models

Since I own an '03 'R' in Battle Blue.. I can say without a doubt.. The Blue version only had the Orange stickers. I know, I changed them out since I thought they were F-ugly.

If they'd had the white decals in '03, I'd probably still have them.. then again.. I might not be BluBlak if that had happened.. Oh well..

Brian are you sure about the silver wheels on the 04 9R?
I could swear they started with white in 04 then switched the plastic to yellow in 05.

I'm pretty sure the white wheels came out when the yellow plastic did.

So the pics of the 2004 blue/white XB9R that were on Buell's website such as the one pictured above were incorrect?

I'll be damned : )

Where are the pics of past Buells on Buell.com?

Actually you are correct. I just had a memory flash of "hero white" wheels.
I was depending upon my somewhat faulty memory.

Mea Culpa. I'm the first one to own up when I'm wrong!

There are no pics of past Buells on Buell.com. I was referring to the ones they had back in 2004.

You had me doubting myself! : )
I have a memory like a ummm.. err... what are those big grey things called? You now, big ears, long nose. I can't remember what they're called but I got a memory just like them
