Super clean bike...congrats on the sale. Definately check out the Buells. They will let you demo them too. Report back with your findings.

Got back into town today. Went by the closest Buell dealer ( which is 20 miles from my house. Harley dealers every fuckin 20 ft but none sell Buells)

Store was pretty busy (they also sell Harleys). I go inside and talk to the sales guy. They have two 2008s and 10 2009s 1125r. The best they will do is knock $1000 off an 08 and $300 off an 09.

So I ask him if I can test ride it? He says "well dude, its cold outside...kinda windy...if you want to write up a deal first, I can get a plate"

I told him that I wasn't buying dick till I test ride. Then he says he is new and has to ask his manager. I said fuck it and left.

So, friday I am going to a different Buell dealer , then look at the Busas and a connie.

If you can't get an 08 for under 10 OTD try somewhere else.
There are guys on badweb picking them up for 9K + TTL in places.

Well...now you've seen first hand the shittyness of the typical Buell dealer. Most of the HD guys dont give a fuck about Buells. Go to a different dealer. They will let you test ride it. That is a fact.

Also...some dealers are selling 08 1125's for 7995 + tax...so look for a solid deal...not just a grand off.

Marko, do you where the dealers are that sell for 8k?

A used Blackbird is very fast, smooth, and comfortable. They go for $3500-5000 in my area.

shit. i wish birds traded for 3k here.

friend of mine had one several years back. Nice bike but there not very plentiful here. something to consider tho

i did a what the hey cl search around me for them and came up with one, turboed and tweaked to all hell for way too much

Off hand I do not....let me cruise the Buell boards a bit...I'll get back to you.
