Yep Gary, I think you might be one of a very small number here in Az. Now I know what to look forward to when I get mine. I really like the Uly's and I have been looking at other XB's but none of the stealers around here will trust me past the parking lot for a test ride and nobody rents Buells around here that I have found. You got a XB you will let me ride for a weekend ? Maybe a good used one for sale ?

ah, you ah, want me to loan you my  buell for a weekend???
LOL..... might as well also ask for my ironhead for a week.  or the dyna for a month.
should my girl friend be summoned to go with you?

just kidding. 

i bought mine at a L.A. vintage bike show....
odd place to bring a XB.  he got no lookers.  i sold a bultaco or two and bunch of parts.
walked over on the last day and bought it pretty cheap.

And dont forget the credit card, LOL.   I got my eye on a 2002 M2 Cyclone with about 6000 miles, what ya think is a good price ? Hacienda wants $4500. Any problems with that model or year ?

sounds a bit high...
my 03 was 3k.  i put anouther 500 in tires and maint.
the other one (04)with clipons for sale i looked at was 3800
seems they have no resale once you find one...
but as you probably know dealers want anouther grand profit over what stuff is worth...

did not buy the clip on model cause am too old to bend over that far....lol...
it was the bigger motor also....i have a XB9 and am happy with it....
from what i see they cheaper than a slower sportster....

would not buy a tuber..  go with the XB series with much better frame, brakes, and motor..
