.. lately i fell into a 03 xb9s with only 137 miles on it.. the guy that had it droped it ( minor damage) and its running great... only ended up dropping a total of 500$ on it bike and all ( sweet!!!!) Still getting used to it.... since it is my first MC, but i think its a great one.. and with the support i've seen here, even better. Still looking up stuff like a race kit ect. But as for now , im absolutly loving the bike.. Hopefully i'll get a pic up soon... but just wanted to say thank you , to all of you, the info on here is very helpfull.. }}

I'll give you $600 for it!



Here is a recent thread on this board that has a whole lot of good information for the owner of a new 2003 Nine.

$500. Either it's in worse shape than we imagine, it is stolen, the seller has mental issues, or something else is up. It just sounds fishy when it's easily worth a lot more.

For that price, the engine could fall out of it tomorrow and it'd STILL be a good deal! The frame alone is worth that, right?

well its not a salvage... it was from a friend of my girlfriend, and its not destroyed.. couldnt be stolen, cause i have the title... just one hell of a deal.. he couldnt ride it anymore cause of medical problems... ended up blind in one eye and the other isnt doing that well i guess,,,}}

Well you robbed your girlfriend's friend blind. No pun intended. Does he realize he could have gotten thousands more?

I hope his condition improves!

Yea i think he knows what he lost... and what he could have gotten,, but i also think it was more of a helping a friend thing.. as far as his eyesight... i dont think theres going to be any improvement... genetic problem i think.. i know he had also got rid of a 1100 jap cruiser for cheap as well before the buell.I also think it was a cant ride/ dont want any memories thing as well }}

Man, I feel for him. I tend to REALLY like my eyesight (though I'm freakishly blind without my contacts)! I don't think I could handle it... I'd want some organ donor peeps or somethin'.

Yes, I agree that going blind is much worse than death.

I'm not sure what you mean by "organ donor peeps". You can't transplant eyes...yet.
