I thought the video was insanely cool, not what he did.

One of the test rides was with a Ducati Monster 1100. ......man, I LOVE that bike. so much fun.

NADA Value on a 2006 R1 average is $6,600 with a low retail of $5,000. You don't get shit for aftermarket parts when you sell them with the bike which is why most people part them out and put the factory stuff back on.

NADA Value on my bike is $3900 average with a low of $2900. Now take into account that you can hardly find a F4i cheaper than what I'm asking and tell me I'm asking too much.

I had some interest in a monster but thought I wouldn't fit on that either. Have you been on one?

Yeah. Ridden the old 695 the newer 696 and 1100. They are really roomy. Not uncomfortable at all. Eps the new models. Been a while since I rode the 695s but I don't recall it being cramped. Plus that twin torque :D

Tons of after market goodies may not be worth anything on the book but to the buyer it should mean something. For some reason everyone seems to pay a big premium out here for the r-1s.

I was looking at the xb12ss when Buell was still around and then HD terminated their company. That was that.

I kept my akrapovic and put on the stock exhaust when I sold the RR. Sold the can on Craigslist. People sometimes think a 500 can will add 1k to the bike etc. more times than not the after market doesn't add much value at all. Unless youre talking about a bike that has a full titanium system etc.

But windscreens, pegs, sliders. Meh

i owned a speed triple - I am 6'3". comfortable, compares favorably in performance to a monster, affordable insurance.

I love the xb9 fibe bolts. I'm hopeful Eric Buell can hook up with another power plant company or an enire company. Good thing is if you were to buy a Buell there would be no shortage of tech/mechanical support via Harley dealerships

Yup. Monsters, speed triples, aprilia shiver etc. all super comfortable and a blast to ride.

Me too, because his $40k new crotch rocket just aint gonna cut it.

No doubt. I think Harley really boned him over. Buells had a huge following.
