Very nice, I haven't seen that colour before on an X1. Is it gunmetal grey?

I picked it up for $2400 OTD from a good friend of mine that owns a Ducati dealership. The previous owner traded the X1 in on a new Ducati Streetfighter.

I called her a "she" since she likes to be ridden fast and hard...

The bike is a gunmetal gray color unlike anything I have seen before. It looks like my Night Train had an illegitimate child...

It's nice to be back on a Buell and back on BadWeb!!

Shinobi13, if you have not already, check out the NM section of the badweb. They are a great bunch of Buellers. The Southwest Regional Buell Rally will be in Red River in Aug of this year. I hope to see you there if not sooner.

the stock turn signals flop like dog ears. and are to long, And i believe this makes the front end ugly. The orange does not go with the rest of the bike..........Now these ones do!

It boggles my mind how low the Tuber prices are these days...A comparable Sporster 1200 would sell for twice as much and it cost significantly less when new.

I remedied that by buying a new set of rears for $26.00 and putting them on the front,it moved them in 1-3/4" each side.

I have to admit, I'm very surprised prices on these haven't started to rise significantly. Pretty sweet deals for the buyers, though...

Thanks all!!! I have been jonesing for another Buell after selling my XB12. I couldn't pass this one up...
I have some plans for making this thing a better beast than it currently is. I can't stand leaving anything too stock...
The wife and I were talking about a Red River trip in August. I'll have to see if we can make it the same timeframe as the Rally...
