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




I'm not Ignorant to them... just don't know if I'm ready for a 1200cc V-Twin I'm probably gonna stick to a 600 for a couple more years...
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.

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