About this model
About the Buell XB 9
The Buell XB9 is an American naked/sport motorcycle powered by a 984 cc air-cooled V-twin engine derived from the Harley-Davidson Sportster unit, produced from 2003 to 2010. The XB9 was offered as the XB9S Lightning (naked) and XB9R Firebolt (half-faired). All XB models share the fuel-in-frame concept using the aluminium perimeter frame as the fuel tank, and oil stored in the swingarm, a mass-centralisation approach unique in the industry. The ZTL brake disc mounted directly on the hub eliminates deflection forces.
The XB9 targets riders who want a compact, characterful sporting motorcycle with American V-twin sound. The riding position is relaxed but sporting. The lower power output (103 hp) compared to the 1125R makes the XB9 somewhat more accessible but still suited for experienced riders. It competes with the Ducati Monster 900 and Honda Hornet 900. Popular with riders who value originality over Japanese uniformity.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
Check oil circulation in the swingarm for leaks at the connections; the unique oil storage system can develop problems after neglect.
Inspect the aluminium frame for hairline cracks around the engine mounting points, especially after hard use.
Check the ZTL brake disc for damage; replacement is expensive and difficult to source.
Look for oil leaks at the Sportster valve covers; typical at higher mileage.
Ask about spare parts availability: Buell-specific components are hard to find outside specialist dealers.
