Wow - I won't bid against you but DANG... I'm betting you will see more interest as time goes by.

Hope you can get maps for both pipes - the stock pipe (quieter) is legal on tracks with noise restriction (like Laguna or Autobahn)

Just get used to the $$$ for the 114 octane leaded fuel - and remember this IS a no-compromises racing machine.

You're gonna love it.

Feel free to contact me off-line for maps if you switch to VP or Sunoco fuels... working on maps for Glendale and Bartels motors.

GOOD LUCK!

Listen, I'd love to have it as a track bike ... but I'm sure the reserve is higher than I will bid. But ya never know.

We won't be bidding against you either, but can I ride with you to New Jersey to pick it up? I know where it is!

I'll be watching... curious.

I'm betting that it gets bought by a non-racer thinking he can build up a streetbike... not realizing that he'd have to de-tune it a lot in order to run pump gas - and then starts the many days of dyno time!

You should send the winner an email because unless he's got good access to a dyno, he'll be frustrated and then in a couple months, you can pick it up cheap!

It'll be fun to watch.

ooo purty. what the hell kinda tires are those!?!?

Sounds pretty legit too, and I recognize some dealers tools in the backround I just noticed. Makes it seem all the more truthful to me.

one question tho...do you have any children or will this be your first?

Those look like Pirelli Rains. Good for about 150 miles IN THE RAIN. A dry track will tear em to bits in just 2 or 3 laps.

When does the bidding end?

Does anyone know what the reserve price is (besides Anthony at Liberty)?

From the ebay listing:

End time: Jan-12-08 07:50:32 PST (9 days 1 hour)

I have mixed emotions - HOPING Anthony and liberty get good money and HOPING that a Badwebber gets a GREAT racebike. Talk about a conflict!

Or, maybe it'll go to a squid, and you very well could end up with some killer race only Buell parts!

Not me - the "winner" will then have to sell it to somebody who appreciates it... and we'll be waiting...

I hope Rubberdown wins it, cause that way at least I can say I know someone who owns an XBRR...

Moose and I both don't want to sell the bike , but for us to get deeper into racing MOTO-ST on an 1125R the RR need a new home. Racing in this series you need deep pockets. The payback is TV time and a better payback on our money. As for the bike it runs great and from what we know it has the most miles out of all the RR racing. It been well taken care of by Moose and has been a great bike to race. Just wish i had the money to keep it cause I know it gonna have some value in the future.

Much as I love the XBRR, I'm pretty sure the reserve is more than I can throw at a track bike. I followed you last season on it Racer. Best of luck this year!

Mike, I too love the bike and I'm one luck guy to say that I've had the honor to be the pilot of this 2 wheel beast, But MOTO-ST is the future of roadracing in the US. And I don't have many years left in the racing gas tank. if I only started when I was a kid. Not at the age of 34. I'm having my first child at 37, I hope I made the next world champ only time will tell.

no way. summit point has always been a great track for our team. We have had some of our best finishes there. And some of our MOTO-ST races are on the same weekend as CCS/ASRA.

Mike, I would bet that you know this. If I were you I wouldn't bid another nickel until the bidding is about to close.

That strategy could help keep the bidding right without someone trying to bid the up with no intention of buying, knowing someone will outbid him/her near the end of an auction.

Some people get there jollies that sort of thing.

With no idea of what reserve is it will be hard to bid well. But I do agree with waiting until just before the end,see if someone else can get to reserve.
BTW,I use bidnapper for eBay stuff.
Are you familiar with maintenance and specialized tuning needs of that bike??

Jim,it would have salt on it faster than you can say "Margarita".

But they are a different animal to tune as they use older DOS stuff,not like Xb's.
But there is alot you can change,rev-limit,timing,injection pulse etc.etc.
