A fine machine. With the new bike, no surprise that it is now gone, but let's not forget, that is where the XB started. I'm proud to own one; it's still hella-fun every time I ride it.

The new 12r in white is freakin' stunning, though! With the XBRR derived refinements on the air cooled motors, though, they are FAR from being done!!

I will miss the XB9R...
The first Buell I rode, and the one that changed my mind.

XB9R, we hardly knew ye.

Oh well, I've still got mine. There'll be plenty of used ones about if you feel the need to own one.

Interesting that they quit selling 9Rs in Europe before they did here - or so I gathered from another post. Now they've quit selling the 12R in Europe. Does that portent to a bleak future for the US' 12R?

I have a XB9R, does this mean I have to post in " Old School Buell" threads.

I may try to hang on to mine until it's worth more than I paid for it.

I truly love my '07 XB9R ,got her in March and have 2500 miles on the ODO so far.

This is the best bike I have ever owned, though I would have waited for the '08 12R if I would have known what was coming. The engine upgrades, reduction in price and new colors (white/blue) should make for a good seller.

Here is where crappy Buell resale will help me. Should be no issue finding a good low mileage '08 in '10!!

I belong to the "Church of the XB9R". I'll still be there on Sunday. My faith is strong!
