had they named the 1125r the 08 firebolt... it would be no diffrent than the jap 4's complete redesigns IMO.

the jap 4 just have more $ for R&D and know what works... they need to get it right the first time... and usually... do.

still don't agree.
firebolt frame holds like 3 gal. 1125 > 5.3 gal
firebolt swingarm is the oil res. 1125 has a standard oil res.
firebolt air cooled HD based motor. 1125 liquid Rotax motor

a jap "complete redesign" is like the 1125R to the 1125CR
lets see how the CR does and go from there.
