    Default WTT:2003 Buell XB9R for reliable, high gas mileage DD

    As the title states guys, the time has come for me to go back to school and commuting ~200 miles to school 5 days a week and another ~70miles a day for 2 days to work, just doesn't make sense on a motorcycle. Many of you know the bike, I bought it in November of last year. I really didn't even ride it till March of this year and put around 5000miles on it so far, it has ~20000 total. It has been down on the left side (just dropped in the driveway), only the oil cooler scoop, left mirror and intake scoop were scratched. They are all superficial and never bothered me enough to fix or replace but can be done so cheaply if its a big deal to you. The only mods i've done is change the grips out, put bar ends on, add tank grips, wrapped the headers, and put a 55w 8000k HID in the lowbeam. Also just put two brand new Pirelli Diablo Sport tires on it. also when i bought it, it already had a K&N filter, Jardine exhaust (LOUD), and a factory Race ECM. here's an old pic with the subaru and none of the mods. I will email new pics to anyone interested.



    basically i'm looking for something super reliable, positively has to be a manual, and gets good-great gas mileage. all i can do is say no, lmk what you got. also spread the word. if i had to put a price on it, i would say around $4500 as these are not made any more and are getting harder to find in this condition or any condition for that matter.

    thanks,
    -jake

    I tried to use my zx10 as a cheap ride to school too.. It rains to freakin often in the summer time, and sitting in class soaking wet sucks. But GL man.. I didn't know they stopped making them. Did Harley stop making Buell? I haven't seen them on the floor at the Harley dealership now that I think about it. I've heard a lot of good things about them. What are the specs on this bike?

    yeah, harley shut down the buell division around october of last year. this is a 984cc air cooled v-twin Harley Engine. makes 92hp and 68lb/ft. gets 55mpg on a regular basis has a 3.7gallon gas tank in the frame of the bike (design flaw in my opinion, since the gas boils on hot days). this has been super reliable. but you're right. you can't predict the rain.
