....which Buell?

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.....

Understandable. The XB's are instant power. Yes the XB's have the Sportster based engine. The 1125R takes just a bit longer to build steam...it hits like a bull at 3k. Also dead flat torque curve. And I speak of the XB12's.

Hmmmm..... .well, who knows, I might be able to try one out Monday. There's usually NO line at the Buell tent. I might give it a whirl.

Give one a ride. I think you'll love how they handle and the power. The looks aren't for everyone. Me....I love the look. I love the looks of the Buell over EVERYTHING...except maybe the Duc Hypermotard.

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.

The 1125R is a sweet bike, but you need small feet to be able to use the rear brake lever.

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!!!

Any and all asthetic complaints I had against the 1125R went away when i sat on it.
It looks like the sex when mounted!!
