The thing with Buells is... I'm not that attracted to them (yes, yes, that's superficial). I need to have a lust factor with my bike..... |

I'll letcha know what I think of it... I do have a soft spot for nekkid/half faired bikes, but just never even really considered a Buell.

Yeah if you want a good street bike you simply must go v-twin. Plus they are more forgiving if you fail to downshift before entering the corner.
And the 1125R is dead ass sexy. A little wide in the front but sweet!!! |

can't wait to see SVrider's when I get to ND in September |
Any and all asthetic complaints I had against the 1125R went away when i sat on it.
It looks like the sex when mounted!! |
Marko, did you finally bite the bullet and get a Buell?

GSXR1000 ZX10R CBR1000RR all too spendy for insurance, and only marginal at best on looks Duc 1098... definatly sick... but damn... $$$$$ Buell 1125R Specs rivaling the 1098 Hot looks, but definatly "different" affordable great warranty cheap insurance. |

I saw a review of the 1125R that said Buell fixed everything that was ever wrong with a Buell bike. The 1125R wants to be where you put it when you want it there and you can actually trail brake without standing it up in corners. Engine is smoother and it has a decent bubble of smooth air for the rider. MY NEXT BIKE! The $3k I'm getting from taxes are going to savings for it!
|
Ebbs...trust me. The huge front area is NICE when you are riding at track speed. There is NO air pushing you around.

I've been a proud buell owner since oct 06 and have been very happy with the performance and simplicity of maintenance.....
the bike has been durable and reliable and has met all of my needs.... i had an opportunity to demo ride the 1125r back in december and found it hard to go back to my XB after that.... 1125r = sex on wheels |

Well....
I'm back... Jumped on it sunday... Sat on it in the showroom for about a half hour... wandered around it for a half hour... janitor came to mop up the drool. Talked numbers for a bit... i can get it a bit under MSRP, so that's good. Thinking about the exteneded warranty, just as it is a new model this year... there will be bugs. Figured, now.. i just need to get rid of the 250. any buyers? after all that... asked the salesman when i get to take it for a spin. As it was only 28 degrees, and blowing snow, I could not take it out on the roads. He DID let me run it around the parking lot however. It fits perfect, great throttle response. Shifts pretty smooth (from 1st to 2nd at least :lol: ) brakes are ok... Actually expected a little more grab from the front, but never got it to speed either... so :idk: SO after putting about a mile on it back and forth in the lot, i gave up control of it... All in all, pretty good bike. Wish it was a bit louder, but i'm sure the aftermarket won't be too far behind in that department. Ebbs, for insurance, i'm looking at $600/yr for the 1125R and my SV, full coverage on both. For any others looking for an XB or a Ully, check out Stutsman County Harley Davidson. They are my closest Buell dealer, but don't move much inventory. They have some 06 XB's that they just want GONE! :nana2: |
nice... bet your wish'n you lived somewhere other than ND right now huh :lol:
|
Quote:
but i WAS the first one in ND to ride one :lol: Even the salesman was swearing that he hadn't even ridden it yet. Tho he did go make a lap after i got off of it. |
Quote:
did you get any pics? |

i'll get pics when it's mine.. better that way anyway. oh... and fyi, cold tires, and cold wet concrete do NOT equal good traction couldn't resist twisting it just once, and yup... instant loose tire. fishtailed a bit but kept 'er under wraps. :dthumb: |
Quote:
naw I just wanted to see how you fit... it's hard with the "official" photos cause I don't know how tall they are... ya know? and I've stood next to you... I know your a short little shit |
Quote:
to me, it seemed a bit more relaxed riding position than my SV, which supprised me actually. and the salesman didn't see it. he went back inside with the gf. your biggest prob will be the rear brake lever. it is adjustable, but when it's all the way out, the engine case will interfere. it was set about in the middle on the showfloor, and it was ok for me... but for a bigfoot like yourself, could cause issues. |

Dunno how big your boots are ebbs, but I had no trouble on the brake pedal or shifter wearing my size 12 work boots. Since riding boots are generally smaller, it should be fine. I didn't like the passenger pegs being so close to the rider's though- my heels kept getting caught. Those need to leave.

Quote:
yeah the pass pegs will be gone as soon as I got home :lol:... mine would be gone off my bike right now if it wasn't that one was the exhaust hanger |

They would probably go anyway... just cause. |
