Collectable that runs AmAzinG!!
Have updated pictures since the handlebars, gas cap, helmet lock, brakes, rear tire & gasket were replaced ; )

1995 Buell Thunderbolt S2 - 1203cc
less than 16k miles on entire bike
Lots of chrome & an impressive purple/blue metallic paint job

-new back tire
-new rear head gaskets (I’ll give you the extras to do front if you ever need to, or as extras if ever needed, I also updated the 4 main head bolts to chrome and kept the old ones as extras, they are still in good condition
-new front & rear brakes
-new derby cover (not shown in 1st pictures, but have it in new picture- Harley chrome with gold eagle "Live to Ride, Ride to Live" banner)
-new hand grips (chrome slotted with rubber seen in newer pictures too)
-rear foot pegs (Harley chrome & black hinge lock up option – seen in new pictures)
-new ignition switch
-new locking chrome gas cap
-new chrome helmet lock (on left front side frame bar toward the front – shown in new pictures)
-fresh oil & brake fluid (chrome oil filter)
-carbon fiber air filter
-kevlar belt in great condition

Currently in med school program, no more time for joy riding, I have a daily rider and have run out of room - Whoever gets their hands on this will NoT be dissapointed
I just spent my spring break prepping her for someone to have a good riding season - there are 0 (Zero) miles on the new tire (as seen in the picture), new heads, & new brakes

Starts on the first try everytime, has maintanence free gel battery, always used top grade fuel, never laid down - made the mistake of leaning it against the house - the front brake lever and 1" hairline skuff on side tell the story & can be buffed out quickly - I've just run out of time & living on a students budget - see pictures for yourself.

This bike rides and sounds amazing, It's like the muscle car of sport bikes, weighs 400lbs and will get away from you QuiCk!!! This is NOT a bike for beginners as most on this site already know

Was $4000 obo – would like to see it go to a Buell enthusiast to be treated properly, yet still need to make the wife happy
So I have it listed at $3100 firm for a quick sale – I Can video bike starting and running through gears to show this bike is good to go for long distance lookers.

Ride Safe

The only scuff & you can tell it doesn’t show, it was hard to even get it to show in a picture through the reflection of the pain job ; )

<img>

The skuff is the only thing Im trying to zoom in on.. the other things you see in the paint are Me & the garage door opener in the reflection ; )

Air cleaner is stock S-2 part,do you still have the matching carbon fiber rear fender and belt guard, as well as stock turn signals. That is a Buell race header and muffler!

I do not have the stock belt guard - not the first owner... had to fix things he had let go and some parts didn't make it to me... That would be the belt guard and the turn signals he had converted to the vehicle lights. Great idea, but glitchy - I was thinking of changing those out for an LED set of turn signals
