The Buell Firebolt XB is an air-cooled V-twin sportbike produced by Buell from 2002 to 2009 in two variants: the XB9R with 984 cc (92 hp) and the XB12R with 1203 cc (103 hp). The motorcycle features a remarkably compact architecture in which fuel is stored in the aluminium frame and oil in the swingarm. With a wheelbase of just 1321 mm and a shock-absorber-free frame, the Firebolt offered exceptionally agile handling.
The Firebolt XB targets sporty riders who appreciate the unconventional. The high steering input and short wheelbase make it unsuitable for beginners. Twisty roads and track days are its natural habitat; on the motorway, wind blast from the lack of fairing becomes noticeable. Comparable bikes include the Ducati Monster S2R and the Honda Hornet 900.
Check the frame for hairline cracks at the fuel-line attachment points; the aluminium frame doubles as the fuel tank and is susceptible to micro-fractures.
Inspect the swingarm for oil leaks; the swingarm serves as the oil reservoir and a failing seal causes rapid oil loss.
Check the Marelli injection for stored fault codes; the XB12R is prone to throttle position sensor issues at higher mileage.
Note that the stock Dunlop tyres wear quickly due to the small wheel circumference compared to larger sportbikes.
Check the exhaust silencer for corrosion and mounting condition; the compact Buell exhaust is vulnerable to stone chips on twisty roads.
