Hello all, this is my first post so go easy on me. Im looking to purchase a used 03 xb9s. what should i be paying for one that has fairly low miles? | ||

Current buyer's market says a lot less than a new 2004 model with the 2-year warranty and updated drive belt. Regional location will affect the price you pay. Shop the dealership first, the bike price second. YMMV | ||

are the 04 XB9s out yet? | ||

i just got a job at st paul harley so if i buy from a dealer it most likely will be that one. there doesnt seem to be that many on the market right now. people must really love their bikes. thanks. | ||

Yes the '04's are starting to trickle into dealerships. Craig Buell Cycle Center  | ||

weird, my local dealership had an S long before they got an R. | ||

My guess would be $6000-$7000. I buddy of mine has been trying to sell his race kitted 9R for about 6 months with no luck. (he bought a XB12R) | ||
| Reepicheep |
I have been watching 9s's closely. Best deal I have seen for a non wrecked one was 6k, and there has only been one motivated seller at that price. | ||

04's 9's are only gonna trickle in at best. they only made a couple hundred... so I see the value going up..because supply just went down and I bet demand for the shorter stroke revingness of a sportbike becomes demand. remeber a piped 9 and a piped 12 are only 10 or 11 hp different but what do I know.... | ||
| M1combat |
still though... 10-11 HP is ~10-11% | ||

I got my 03 as a left over from the dealership, out the door i paid about 9000 | ||

Skiman, Up until the 31st of march you could've got a rebate from Buell for an employee purchase. Didn't your dealership tell you this? Ride to the edge! Dave | ||

Skiman, My son picked up a HD demo 03 XBR with 2,000 miles for $4800 last August. That seems low compared to what I've seen in the Cleveland market so we couldn't pass up the deal. Impressive bike. If I could only have that engine and suspension on my Sporty. | ||

misato you said a mouthfull there....thanks | ||
| Misato |
 a friend just got a used one(demo) with 2500 miles for ~6800 from a dealer. in march '03 I paid 9400 | ||
| M1combat |
I've heard of people getting 12R's for 8K... Connected people sure, but 8K!... | ||
| Alpineskiman |
my first day isnt untill tomorrow so i wouldnt have had a chance to get in on that deal anyway. 6000 is about what i think ill be able to swing. now its just trying to find one. i need a bike real bad! | ||
| Buckinfubba |
8k......damn they must be connected to one of the illustrious dealers in the network.... christ thats well below cost...... i guess ass kissing does payoff.....or tax write off comes to mind | ||

Alpine, I've got a black xb9s in Arizona, 3500 miles, warrenty till 9/04. corbin seat, chase harper stealth bags, runs perfectly since new. $6700. | ||

Brian, there have been a number of dealers who have sold the 12's on ebay for right around the $7K range. One of the guys on this board...dont recall who..bought 1. | ||

XB9R for $6200 in the Salt Lake City Tribune. www.sltrib.com Poor guy has had it in there for 3 weeks, first time $6800, second time $6500, now $6200. I am not ever selling mine! I would hate to even think of the depreciation hit. DBird | ||
| Buckinfubba |
yeah like I said some of buells more "illustrious" dealers...... nothing like the value of a bike being devalued . not because the bike is no good, but because the dealers around the nation suck so fucking bad. hey corprate are ya listening....... nope....thats what I thought... | ||

Alpine - I got mine off of Ebay from a guy in Miami. It had 17 miles on it - he never even registered it & still had the shipping skid from a shop in Ohio. I paid $7000 plus it cost me $260 to ship from Miami to my shop in Jersey. In Jersey you pay the state tax when you register the bike on the value that you say you paid for the vehicle  Check out Ebay & don't be afraid of the shipping. | ||

I got my 04 XB12R for $8900 in Dec. 03 with 4 miles from a dealer off Ebay. The same dealer was selling XB9`s for $6200. Since then i`ve seen 3 or 4 XB12`s sell for around $8200. This was really a HD dealer, when i asked about the great prices they told me that HD gives them alot of Buells for practically no cost for selling X amount of Harleys. And since they don`t really want to carry the Buell line they just sell them as fast as they can for whatever price. My local dealer wants $12,500 for an XB12 plus tax. Very weird, but prices by me are all over map, atleast here. | ||

Check on Ebay for dealers selling XB`s. You can either bid on the bike or call them directly and buy the bike outright. |
