Yes..... my Buell will be for sale after I owned it for 6 years.

I need to register it in the UK first, which will take me probably two months (prepare it for MOT etc etc) and then we have to part..

The bike is completely original, no adjustments to it. Chrome PM rims, Vance & hynes exhaust, well, you've seen the bike. I never ever had problems with it, cause I treated the bike very well (and I ride like a wimp hahaha). The first years it was serviced bij the H-D dealer in Veghel (Holland) and after that at Twin Motorcycles (Holland). I am the second owner of the bike. The first owner was a lady too (it's true...I met her). The tank cover needs painting, but that's all that needs to be done.

I have to think about the price, but I WILL let you know soon.

So you can start saving... lOl

Just checked and it has done 25.652 miles (I did almost 18.000 of em). The rims are proper chrome, It needs a new seat (the little hook under the seat that holds it to the frame is sawed of by me). It comes with a handmade welded rack with two Booster bags. Perfect for long trips and holidays.

I was cleaning the bike today and was thinking about aaaallll the fun I had with it. Saw a million places without any problems. And....if I didn't have the Buell I wouldn't even be living in England 8-)

Did I say yet the the sound is aaaawwwsome!!!??? It has this deep, growling sound, thanks to Vance & Hines. Tbh, it sounds more like a Harley then my Nighttrain.....

I will post pictures tomorrow!

couple of things

1 I asked previously if they were chrome or ally and you confirmed chrome. They are definitely ally finished rims in the photos can you confirm if they have been plated after the photos were taken
2 why haven't you posted a price yet? We're all hanging by our bollock hairs here!
There is an old north east saying that goes..... Please shit or get off the pot.
