    Have you seen this 2000 Buell X1 Lightning?

    My old Bike that I sold in 2009. like most of my bikes, I wish I never did sell it. I reached out to the guy who bought it just last spring asking if still had it and told me the engine blew. Never responded when I asked him where the bike went - has anyone seen it in last few years??

    Haven't seen it, but high five for getting rid of it before the engine blew!

    I am pretty sure thats how the buyer felt about me - it ran like a rockstar, not a hint a problem when he bought it..

    Buell Tuber's were known to be ticking time bombs. They were extremely fun from 0-100 but not the most reliable bikes. The fuel in frame Buell's tended to hold up much better. I had an XB12R that I put on 20K trouble free miles and sold it to a friend. She still has it. I recently purchased an Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory from Seacoast. No thoughts of the Buell haunt me now. Yes it's a totally different price point but I must say that nostalgic looks back at motorcycles always paint them in the best light.
