Wtf is the deal with teh values of these bikes at the moment? They are being listed anywhere between £4000 to £1800 and it seems fucking mental.

Are people just getting antsy to move them for the summer or something? Why the wild variation in prices? I never see this with any other bike.

It is happening with lots of bikes. They aren't soughtafter really so I'd be looking more at the lower end.

Buells have gone nuts lately. I just bought a 2005 XB12R for £3500, whereas there is a very similar one on ebay at the moment for £6500.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

It's my third. Well, I had a Firebolt, a lightning and another Firebolt. This is the first one I've had with clip ons though, it takes a bit of getting used to on a huge torquey twin.

Yeah I guess. I just think it's weird because the private list value is closer to 2700 and every other kind of bike is at solid sky high price at the moment Confused . It's an absolute shite load of bike for £1850.

Anyone had experience selling these things?

Talk of Buells has me interested though. Do they wheelie well? I like to idea of all that torque from the Harley lumps.
