Author Message   Jandj_davis Posted on Friday, September 23, 2005 - 04:03 pm:        I am absolutely baffled by the shortage of 2004 XB9's. I have been watching the Lightning and Firebolt auctions on e-bay, have scanned through the classifieds here more than once, watch cycletrader.com, etc. There are absolutely NONE. Is this because 04 was the best year for them and no-one is selling, or is it because the production numbers for the 9's are so much lower than the 12's? The shortage is amazing to me. There is no end of available XB12's, in both an 'S' and an 'R', but no xb9's in either configuration. If anyone has any insight into this interesting phenomenon, I would love to hear it. Josh D. Cedar Rapids, IA P.S. I also posted this question on the general discussion board, not knowing which place was more acceptable. Admins, feel free to remove one or the other.   Daves Posted on Friday, September 23, 2005 - 04:09 pm:        They didn't make many 9s in 04. Production was focused on 12s. How about a 03 9R?   Jandj_davis Posted on Friday, September 23, 2005 - 04:13 pm:        Do you know what the numbers were? How many were produced in 03 and 05 vs. 04? It would be fun to see production numbers since the XB9R was introduced in 02. Isn't that available somewhere?
