About the Buell XB9R Firebolt
The Buell XB9R Firebolt is an American supersport motorcycle with an air-cooled 984cc V-twin, produced from 2002 to 2010. Designed by Erik Buell, it features a range of patented engineering solutions: oil carried in the frame, fuel in the swingarm, and the exhaust routed beneath the engine. With 92 hp in an extremely low centre of gravity at just 175 kg, the Firebolt represents an entirely different take on the European supersport formula.
The XB9R targets experienced riders looking for a motorcycle that feels different from a conventional Japanese or European sportbike. The riding position is sporty but not extreme, and the engine delivers strong, characterful torque low in the rev range. Typical rivals: Ducati Monster S2R, Honda CB900 Hornet. Not recommended for absolute beginners due to strong low-end torque delivery.

What to check before buying
- Check the Showa USD front fork for oil leaks and play in the steering head; a known weak point after hard use.
- Inspect the airbox for cracks; its position makes it vulnerable to leakage in wet conditions.
- Check the fuel tap in the swingarm for correct operation; a unique system requiring component-specific inspection.
- Verify the oil level through the frame sight glass; low oil quickly causes engine damage.
- Check the condition of the single rear disc; the Buell ZTL brake is effective but requires genuine pads.
