 Post subject: Looking for a Uly
PostPosted: 26 Sep 2009 20:20 
The time has come for me to get back on a Buell, preferably an XB12X in good nic with low miles.

I had a look and test ride on a nice black XB12X '57 reg with Buell panniers and low seat fitted. Bike has 13K on the clock, good condition but not mint, from a non H-D/Buell dealer asking £4400. I'd be happier at £4K, although dealer will fit new rear tyre and 'd want front replacing too. Any thoughts on whether this sounds like a fair price and what the best tyres to fit are (Pirelli Scorpion Syncs?) would be welcome.

Also if anyone knows of a similar but better Uly (i.e. lower miles, mint, lower price etc.) going I'd be glad to hear.

Cheers

MKCyclone

I like the Scorpion Syncs - they are fitted to my STT. Done 4,000 miles and the back still has lots of tread left - about another 3,000 I reckon.

Worn them right to the edge and have yet to have the bike lose grip on me in a corner on the road. They still slide around a bit on gravel though, but I suppose that's a given.

I don't ride on the track so can't say how they'd fair there.
They get a good write up in this track review though:

Sounds interesting - can you PM me some details and pics.

I'm also now considering an 1125R - mint 4000miler...Difficult decision! :ugeek:

Yeah, know. Different types of fun but similar prices (£4500ish).

Decided to go for the Uly.

Got a further £200 off the asking price plus a new pair of Scorpion Syncs included.

It's good to be back! :yup:
