Good thought. Guess we'll see at the end of the month when they release the pic. It's entirely possible. That was rumored to be a 1199cc 200hp version of the current 1125R.

true nuff. If this turns out to be the case its time to start beating hd over the head with open checkbooks. Might see a street version yet. This also makes me wonder how much interaction there was between buell and the FIA because this bike, their fate, and FIA's new stricter homogolation rules are conspiratorially close together

I dont know anything about the FIA, the CIA, the FBI, or any of the others. But I do know if the rumors are true and this bike was a 200hp beast than it shoulda came out 2 years ago instead of the 1125R thats out there now. Sales might have been better and Buell might still be in business.

Well what is it? I thought they were making money? Because if Buell was making $$$$, they are doing far better than HD is atm.


I just dont understand why those idiots would drop a brand that isnt in the red.

And I also dont know why they wont give Erik the rights and let him go elsewhere. That pisses me off the most.

good news is you can buy the goodies and change your mild mannered 1125R into a fire breathing 1125R thats street titled, when u factor in the dealer discounts and add the cost of the kit it is still well under the price range of most 200hp bikes

An 1199cc 200hp twin?
Either unlikely or too high strung to last more than 200 miles between rebuilds.
If the 1198R is only making around 170hp, where do you think Buell/Rotax are getting the other 30?
