Buell question??

The 1125 looks pretty sweet. But idk im still a little iffy. I know OSP jerks it to them in his office. But my friend had a XB-9R when I lived in Tulsa, OK. Sure it had some torque from stop signs, but after the first second I was blasting past and not giving up. He shortly after purchasing it became sad that my 6 would wax him. I did ride it and I like the feel, and they do pretty well in the twisties. Id say they are comparable to a larger Super Moto. Still cool bikes, and since they are a new company I feel they have alot of room to grow and impress. 10 points on the cool factor though.

Normally I am a fairing guy, but when it comes to the new 1125, I like the CR over the R. The fairing on the R is wierd. The CR is damn cool looking.

Still being an inexperienced rider I dont need the top end rush that a 6 offers. Thats why I'm really starting to think V-twin and its practicallity. Even tho all my friends have 6's. (05 R6, 05 CBR, 08 GSXR) The question is SV or XB....

Psst. The CR is NAKED!


The 1125 is more like an RC51 in it's delivery. You'll ride the torque until the top end kicks in.

Great motor. You won't have any 600's running away from it.

Although it's a liter class bike, it doesn't have the top end punch that gets folks into trouble.

Twins are also great in that because the power pulses are spaced farther apart, the rear tire doesn't break traction quite as easily.

Problem is that you can't get a CR used yet.

Interesting how you like both the CR and the Z1k.... totally different design.

Personally, I'm kinda disappointed w/ the CR... they coulda done a WAY better job w/ it
