I liked the look... then I rode one... then I bought one... that same damn day.

Sweet. That 1125 is sick. If I didn't just buy my 10, I'd give the 1125 a good hard look.

After the shit you went thru with the 10, if you traded it now, I would vote permaban for you

I looked at what's out there


GSXR1000
ZX10R
CBR1000RR

all too spendy for insurance, and only marginal at best on looks

Duc 1098...

definatly sick... but damn... $$$$$

Buell 1125R
Specs rivaling the 1098
Hot looks, but definatly "different"
affordable
great warranty
cheap insurance.
