new 01 white lightning

Went to my HD dealers open house summer sale today and they had a new 01 white lightning on the floor. This guy also has several new Buell bikes older than the 01 lightning. Never owned a Buell but I always liked the older lightning models particularly the white lightning model. I rode one in Daytona at the dealer ride program the first year they came out. What can anyone tell me about the 01 white lightning (good or bad). I know Buell had some serious quality problems somewhere around this time. I could probably get this new Lightning for around $8,500 or maybee less but I hear the 08 air cooled 12's will be listed for under $10,000. How much better bikes are the current air cooled fuel injected 1200's than the old white lightning's?

I wasn't aware they made a white lightning in 2001. 1998 and 2002 only I thought.

Just because the Lightning is white, does not mean its a White Lightning

BTW, Kelly Blue Book lists a 2002 X1W at $6040...the 1998 S1 is listed at $4885
