Very nice '98 S1 W/6,000 miles.Bike looks nearly flawless.

Two issues: Original tires are shot.Starter is acting up......I think the starter clutch is crapping out.My shoulder is still F'd up.Untill I get better I can't fix it,so that's how it sits for now.

Now for my disclaimer........I don't want to see it get chopped.I don't care how stupid that sounds.I don't need money.I want to see it go to a good garage where it will be kept intact as a Buell S1 Lightning.

Trades......I love to trade.Buell S2,V8 Mustang,Honda CR 125/250 2 smoke,Jap.rocket,vintage MX bike.Let's be real though.Don't expect me to give you a grand and my Buell for your old push mower with a blown up Briggs.No long distance trades.


My reason for selling it is it's seat.Y'all know the deal.It's been fun,but my nads get punished when my wife is on the back.I'm looking for something with a bigger seat.I'm rarely home,so I'll try to respond to any PM's or posts within a few weeks.Call if you need a quicker response.Five one two.Sevin nine six.Eight two seven one.

Oh hell, I'll have to talk to the wife, but how 'bout trades on a green '96 Ford T-Bird getting up to 25 mpg on the freeway, 19-21 round town.

I've got it listed here:

Not getting any offers (even under bluebook) but it's valued at just over your asking price on the Buell.

Probably one of the nicest S1s I have seen for sale in a long time. It is a steal...
Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, so that was an offer, if I was unclear (Beach).

She's already talking about how we can make it happen if you'd like to work a trade, I know you said no long dist trade, but hey, I like to travel.

PM sent.

Spoke with Jose, nice guy, but looks like a trade is not in it for us.

Hopefully someone takes care of this bike. Beach, you in?

Do you have a rough idea how much the starter would cost to fix/replace via a dealer? In the condition it's in do you think it could make a trip to Wisconsin from Texas? I'm guessing I'd need to replace tires before a trip.

A10tankkill,with some tires it will make it as long as you keep the little tank gassed up.I'd be much more worried if your ass could handle the trip or not.You'd just have to stop in Georgetown,TX for some tires on the way out.We use a local place that quoted me $80 and 45 minutes wait to repair the starter if I pull it and bring it to them.I think HD or Buell will sell you a new one for $300-$350.I'll pull it when the pain backs off enough.

It's still for sale......For now anyways.I have it priced over a grand too high according to two different chopper builders.I guess that's why it hasn't sold.What a freakin' joke!

I wanted to buy this bike in June when it was on craigslist but you said it was sold. Wish you would have let me know the deal fell through.

Sorry,Halffast.I had one of those "for sure" deals that fell through.That was the second time I held it for nothing.That pissed me of to the point of taking it off of the market to modify it.Plans changed and here it is.

I have no intentions to piss anyone off.My only intentions are for the bike to go to a good garage where it will be kept a Buell without any BS.

Bike is still for sale due to conflicting schedules...Price is $2800...Price is firm!I will not hold it.I will not finance it.I will remain 100% owner or 0% owner.It's pretty simple........Give me $2800 cash and it's yours and you ride it off,load it in your pick up,or have it shipped to your garage.The bike is worth $2800 and it's very nice.Oh yeah,leave me the F alone if you're looking for a donor bike to build a gay mini chopper.


I have a whole lot more into the bike than what I'm asking for it.I havn't got much use out of it to justify taking such a loss.Some Buell guys get pissed off about values and part their Buells.Some try to entice buyers looking for a donor.Some play the "bump" game every five minutes.As for me,I just want a fast and painless transaction with a buyer/trader that won't chop it or I want no deal at all.

And a note to Bartimus......If the bike is still here when you have the time to deal then I will come off of my firm price and accept your offer as I stated I would.As I stated before,the difference isn't even a sacrifice compared to those you've made serving Uncle Sam.

.....But please understand that I'm loosing my ass on the bike and dragging it out will be more salt in a wound than I can handle.I hope that makes sense.
