Ill just say, I paid about 3000 less for a new buell than anything else I was considering..
You found a great deal. Current MSRP (US Dollars):

1125R $12,499
XB12R $10,299
GSXR1000 $12,899
ZX10R $11,799

Seems to me that the Buell really isn't much for savings, particularly when you consider that both the GSXR and ZX10R will stomp the shit outta the XB, performance-wise.

I like the XB (particularly the Lightning Long), I'm just not willing to pay the price when I can ride any Japanese literbike from the last five years and get more performance for less money.
