I mostly love the blacked out frame, and colored windscreen!
The white/blue 1125R is pure sex

They work well on the 1125... at least for me.

I really like the black/red combo on the XB's. That looks really good. Honestly, I think the streetfighter/cafe buell looks better than the 1125R, to me the front end looks too tall on the 1125R compared to the tail, it's hard to explain but it almost looks old-fashioned. Older sportbikes the front end was visually higher than the rear, the more modern trend is for the back to be higher, that height ratio seems more visually right, and the cafe looks that way to me. Think about an older FZR or GSXR compared to a new R1 or GSXR. And I know most of you beuller's are going to say that buell isn't about going with modern trends, but to me the XB has the tall tail look, I think the 1125R would look much better with the same "stance".

Still don't like the cover though, too much plastic on a "streetfighter" or "cafe". ESPECIALLY when compared to the relative nakedness of other buells.

oh, i def. like the looks of this

....

over the 1125r. i must agree, as much as i like the Buells it's the scoops
that kinda turn me off.

anyone have pics of the white/blue 1125r mentioned earlier?

Cutty72 · 07-23-2008, 10:52 PM

Phi Sig.
With the "back end up, front down" look. Not having that is actually one of the things that makes the 1125R more comfortable than your standard SS bike. You get on and your nuts aren't instantly slamming into the tank (or airbox in this case)
Thats the first comment I get from anyone that sits on my bike after riding a R1/6, GSXR, ZX6/10, or CBR, "man this thing is comfortable"

Jalaan, you lazy ass.

I'm really like'n the Firebolt... and the 1125r... by the time I'm ready... the problems with the 1125r should be all figured out. and hopefully it'll get a bit better MPG...

Guess I am going with the herd here the width of the bike with the scoops takes away from the line of the bike. Another year or two I bet these will be great machines all the way around. But they have a ways to go berfore I would swap my Duc or pass up a Super Dukes for one
