***confirmed after this posting the model year is 2004, unable to change listing title**If you're looking for something unique, something that is as fun to ride as it is to look at, you've found the right bike. Why am I selling it? I'm looking to buy the only other bike that I think would be more of an adventure, a Ural sidecar. I bought this Buell from the original owner who sold it to buy a house when he got married. It has been garaged, and was never ridden in the Winter. The condition is good, some minor scratches indicative of a bike of it's age but it is sound. As part of the deal I would include an Icon riding jacket, Icon helmet with installed speakers, and Icon riding gloves. A neo-antique, character-rich engine stuffed into a stubby, street fighter motorcycle. You won't find a lot of luxury options on this bike. Just a thundering, torque monster ready to tear up whatever asphalt you've got in front of you. Buell leveraged mass centralisation years before the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers joined in on the fun. The Lightning's rim-mounted disc brake works well plus lets the wheel be lighter for lower unsprung mass. Fuel-in-frame and oil in the swing arm aren’t rocket science but help keep the motorcycle's weight where it’s best carried allows for excellent cornering.The five-speed gearbox needs a firm prod and makes plenty of noise as you swap cogs – but it kind of adds to the experience of taming this motorcycle.
