Looks just like mine which you can see if you go to my profile pic. 2nd one in. they had their facts wrong though as 1989 was the first year for RS1200s not 1990. (Message edited by buelliedan on March 26, 2015) |

Ahhh! Black and Gold! I was always partial to that color combo. Here's a slightly newer RS at the old location of Hal's:
And here's one of a similar vintage as the auction bike:
Love the color combo! 1313 |

It's funny you say that......when I lived in Manhattan Beach, CA I used to get stopped and asked for autographs. I never saw the resemblance ....obviously some folks did/ did. |

The auction estimate was $6K - $9 . . . for a NOS 1200RS! Even at $10K, this is an incredible deal. |

This is quickly becoming my next bike on the collection list. Possibly the result of buying my M2 Cyclone to compliment the 1125cr. Something about that V-twin goodness. I was trying to get registered to bid on this before it went to auction. Found out a day too late but cheers to the fun of the hunt. (Message edited by generalcuz on April 29, 2015) |

As an FYI, the following was posted on the Wheels Through Time (Museum's) Facebook page not too long ago: "We often have visitors ask Dale why there isn't a Buell on display here at WTT. So when this 1990 RS 1200 came up for bids at the E.J. Cole auction in Las Vegas he decided to add it to the collection. Dale sold this bike to E.J in 1990 at Dales Harley Davidson in Mount Vernon IL. It is in pristine condition with 226 original miles." What did Paul Harvey used to say? 1313 |
