I made a deal on a new '09 XB12Ss a few weeks ago, but it was up in New Hampshire and I'm in NY. As it turns out, the dealer (Manchester HD-Buell) is only about 40 miles from good friends of ours in Mass - so we picked a weekend when they'd be around - then we went up and crashed with them for a couple days, picked up the bike and all's well. Happily the weather was respectful up here this weekend, the roads were dry all the way home (~375 miles) and the bike - sitting out on my trailer didn't get any salt spray or anything.

Anyway, it was a really good weekend. The guys at the dealer told me they were the #1 Buell dealer in the country for sales which struck me a little weird, being up in New Hampshire but I guess it's possible. They still have a few - saw an 1125R, 1 or 2 XB12Scgs, a couple blasts, a couple XB12R's and a XB12XT with like 1000 miles or so. They did seem to be a Buell-enthusiast dealer, much more so than my local dealer - several of the guys in the shop were allegedly Bueller's.

Too bad it's only 20 out...

Congrats! Go for a ride, it will love it. I did about a 120 miles on my CR today in the Bear Mountain area, and I wasn't even the only bike out : )

6800 OTD - but didn't include sales tax. I'll get the pleasure of being screwed an additional 8% by the NYS DMV when I go to register it.

That said, I think it was a pretty reasonable deal. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of new Ss's left out there - I found the find-a-bike on buell.com led me to a lot of "that's long gone" responses. So, I'm happy to get it and can quit being obsessed with the shopping...

Man, XB's look sick with the blacked-out engine. Mine's an '06, which looks like hell... black, silver, and gold (magnesium) all over the place. Dunno what their color people were thinking at the time.

I got spare tires sitting here for all my big bikes, nothing for the Blast yet. I am probably going to ride to Rhode Island to get them changed on the 20th
