A friend of mine is selling a Buell, I think its 1190cc, 2009, 7000km on the clock, but not sure which model exactly. Asking price is $5000. Its presently housed at Steves? dyno shop.7D Sisawath quay, 100 meters south of Japanese bridge.Tell 012 950 472, email

looks something like this

That could be a reasonable buy. Based of course on condition. Like has someone one been adding tap water as coolant. A very common problem everywhere with liquid cooled engines. Liquid does not mean tap water in this instance. Instant corrosion.

2009 was last yr. prod. of Buell AFAIK but Mr. Buell produced an 1190RS that is a big bikers dream in engineering. A legend IMHO.

I'll be in PP weather permitting & maybe have a looky lou. Just for shit's & giggles of course.

Emiratis buy them fresh, can't handle them, lose interest, and put them up for sale shortly after. So, feel free to use me to check stuff out here for you. And if you make a decision on one, I'll fire the derails over to my shipping buddy and probably get you a quote in 24 hours. I'd love to join a group over there. Incidentally, if you don't mind me asking, what do you do yourself over there in the Land of Wonder?

Big thanks for the offer. I've looked and most bikes seem to be motocross which isn't my thing. Another thing to note is that any newish KTM is "banned" and for some brands (such as Yamaha) there's a hefty charge because someone has the bought the rights as the sole importer. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Will send a PM regarding my work.

I actually agree with you there. A lot of big bikes (especially crotch rockets) are quite cheap by local standards. The locals are a bit small for them and rightfully get scared of all that power so soon ditch them. The 400-600 bracket is typically expensive though, except maybe twenty year old Dominators and Transalps.

there is a dinky french guy in shv who rides a knackered transalp.even with the sagging suspension he cant put his foot down without nearly jumping off!

it is hilarious seeing him trying to be cool on it.

bit like this guy


(not sure why he is not riding down the middle (lane splitting) which is the point of bikes!)
