Buell 1125R Review

[BobTheBiker]

I took a look at one of these today at the harley dealership, it sits like a KLR650, but it feels so nicely balanced, and light. I mean you'd think it was an EX500, not a big fucking 1125.

I talked to the sales rep a little, and am thinking seriously about buying one for myself now, just to play with it. they seriously look VERY VERY VERY good in person. everything I looked at was just so nice, clean and refined. a fender eliminator is ALL I"d need to do, and its perfect.

and that's the thing I like... of all the factory bikes out there, the buell has one of the cleanest tails out there.

...or a 650R... It feels a whole lot like my bike with the lower bars I put on. More comfortable than the 'Bolt, because you don't have as much of a stretch to the clipons. If your feet are any bigger than about a 10, you'll have to remove the passenger pegs to avoid getting hung up.
