I plan on it... ut theres a couple things holding me up from actually owning one...

1125R... the bugs aren't worked out yet... still have heat issues, milage isn't that great, and $

XB12R... the headlights suck... and I tend to ride at night a lot and my eyes suck :lol: .... hummm.... that actually may be it for the XB12R

Lightining... not my style... though be cool to have one as a 2nd bike... with the 1st bike having full fairings for longer trips

The 09 R and CR has sorted out the fuelling issues. EVERY review of the CR has been great. No one has bothered to re-review the R in print yet.

The 12R headlights were fixed for the 09 year and above.

Obviously you're not up on your reading. The bugs ARE worked out of the 1125's...just read the latest Motorcyclist for a brief ride report of the all but flawless 1125CR.

The headlight situation has been corrected on all new Firebolts...and the old models have been recalled.

And not ready for a 1200cc twin? Keep reading. What's there to be ready for? They aren't unruly, uncontrolable speed demons. They are very user friendly.

They do.

I have a buddy who rides one. He bought an FZ1, sold the uppers on ebay and ordered the euro headlight, viola! (Of course, he didn't have the big-bling ohlins, brakes, rims, etc) But it was actually very easy to do.

So! Get off yer ass and build it! :lol:

My next street bike will be a streetfighter. If my budget allows it will be a KTM Superduke. If not then it'll probably be a frankenbiked DS1000. I want a v-twin.

I am seriously considering doing just that.


I test rode a Superduke in Suches when they were doing their truck show.

I HATED the FI system. The mapping is awful. Light switch on or off.

When it ran, it was ran like a raped ape, but the throttle response was very snatchy. The handling was fantastic.

I have heard that about the fueling on the bike. If I have the dosh to swing the bike then I'll probably get a nice system and a Power Commander, hopefully that'll take care of it. WP suspension is top shelf stuff, my KTM handles great.

I like the Super Duke. I really need to get down to the dealer to demo one.

PhiSig1071 11-29-2008 01:03 PM
I need to find out when I can demo one, I still haven't ridden one and it's killing me!

Those are nice bikes. This guy was pitted across from me at Jennings last month:

http://optimus.incorrect.org/images/..._10_26_002.JPG

He ran mid 1:20's on it.

Oh was is a good laptime at Jennings,just curious?

PhiSig1071 12-01-2008 01:05 AM
Yeah, the record is a 1:14.5 on a GSXR1k and most AMA level racers run mid to high teens. Anything faster than a :27 is expert pace. Mid :20's is pretty damn fast, my best is a :29.8
