New for 2009 on the 1125R and 1125CR models are targeted fuel injectors, relocated O2 sensors, and updated engine spark and fuel maps. The combination of these features offers improved drivability below 6000 rpm, even crisper throttle response, improved heat management, and significantly improved fuel economy. The updated engine spark and fuel maps will also be made available for 2008 1125R models.

True, but with a lil work you can get all the changes (except the swingarm spools ) onto the 08... and still have a 25th anny, and the blue frame/swingarm.

I'm thinking about swapping out headers (thus getting updated O2 placement as well as better heat control) and then getting the new spark and map. Should be up to par.

If the buells werent so small, it would be the next bike I put in the garage. And not because im a HD owner. I was a complete disbeliever in buell before t-mall got one. I didnt even ride it very far, at 6'4" its far too uncomfortable for me. But it is the most nimble bike ive ever ridden. It didnt give me the confidence my rc51 did, didnt feel as planted, but everytime i touched the bars the bike did everything I wanted. It wasnt lightning fast, but it had great acceleration.

Troof dat!

Trackrider54 is a 6'4" yeti galoot. The Uly is a sportbike for tall people in Chad's own words.

I'm 6' and can't flat foot the bike. The seat to peg dimensions are the best for long legged people of ANY bike on the market.


PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do yourself a favor, Apoc, and find a Uly to test ride.

Do it, and you'll be another Buelligan in a heartbeat!
