Wow. Also looks to be one of the first 300, since it has billet triples as well.

Bruce Zimmerman had the first Yellow Jacket Pearl in terms of customers. I think Marty's may have been YJP also.

Great color !

I hope you bought it. That's a beauty!

How much were they asking and do you know what number it is?

I had seen it while searching in & around PA, just not what I was looking for. I found this early Bourget down by Philly.

I did buy it... I had to.... #146 w docs & plate.

Rear tail was bubbled up a bit but I had an NOS tail from a parts hoard out of Colorado a couple years back. Paint matched perfectly. Never in a million years did I think k it would have.

Great looking bike! Glad you found it. Amazed it was on craigslist for 6 months. S1's are my top pick, but if I was to have any other tuber it'd be an S2 or S3. There's been a yellow M2 around Pittsburgh that's been on craigslist forever. It's popped up every time I've searched. Not sure if something's wrong with it or what the story is.

Good looking Buell S2. If the stock pipe was put on it would be 100% original.

It probably sat there because it is Yellow. A lot of people would not buy/ride a Yellow bike. I think it is fantastic. I saw it there months ago and would be proud to own that bike.

I would like to have a Yellow EBR 1190RX.

I currently have a Yellow M2. I didn't like the color to begin with but it has grown on me to where I love that it is Yellow. I'm glad it's not black.
Too many black bikes out there.

When I had an xb9s years ago, it came in yellow. The bodywork on those bikes is so easy to swap that I just met some guy off of craigslist in a parking lot with a torx wrench, we traded my yellow bodywork for his black bodywork and went on his way.

That's a beautiful thing. Nice find.

S2's may be one of the most underappreciated quality motorcycles out there.

Makes for good buying, but I don't get it.

Me personally Am not a fan of red or yellow. Reason being a lot of 30 -40 era hotrods were painted those colors so I grew to dislike them. I was told by an old school body guy it became so popular because 1 it looked fast and 2 it hides mire flaws then black ir white.
I dont mind black mine was all black every part but I would clean and wax it then an hour later it was dirty again it showed every speck of dust or dirt!

The XB9S I used to own was yellow when I bought it. It was horrible. I met some guy from craigslist in a parking lot with a torx wrench and went home on a black bike. Glad I ended up with a silver this time around.

Well i could not care about any color if the price is right!

Also a good excuse to buy other things for it.
