ummm... cause until now the only engine option was air cooled and only reved out to 6K?

Give them time. The 1125 is on par with the Duc's for handling. A couple years and I belive they'll put up a good showing.

Hell, could even be sooner. Found this on badweb.

Don't know why you're hating on the Buell so bad.
Is it cause it's a twin?
Is it cause it's (somewhat) American made?
Or is it just cause it's not what you ride....

Dlit= Mad hater status

The Yamaha R6 could be the only bike in the world, and his would still be better

Fuck that. Everybody thinks Buell is the shit because they have high torque numbers. That shit isn't gonna matter when they don't have the hp to carry them into real speeds. The 1125 is WAY better, performance wise than the older Buells and I respect that. But that upper kills me. Doesn't flow with the rest of the bike, which looks cool.

I'm actually a humble guy, but I speak my mind.

[Mr Lefty]

I don't think Buell is the shit... I just like Vtwins... I love the sound... and the torque is nice for everyday riding... and... with the exception of Drewpy's RC51 and I guess the 1125R... they get a little better gas milage... or at least from what I've seen.

I'm still tentive about Buell... especially with all the first year jitters in the 1125R. I think I may look pasta when my time comes...

[DLIT]

What an 1125 cost?

[Mr Lefty]

$12k... some are as high as $14...

I was think'n of putting a deposit on one here... through the exchange sales and picking it up in October 09... (wouldn't start paying or financing till I pick it up)... but too many issues to solve before i do that...

think'n maybe an older Tuono

Um...Miller Motorsports Park. The front straight is literally almost 1/2 a mile. But that's the track, street you really don't need it. I need it because I like going 160 on deserted roads in the middle of nowhere and there's plenty out here to do it on.

The problem is most of you clowns need to check your ego and come out of the clouds and get back to reality. Perhaps realize that you are not and never will be Valentino Rossi.
