Default I know this is a Kwaka forum but......

I just couldn't help myself posting a pic of the new Buell 1125R from the good old US of A. What a beauty!!6 speed gear box, V-twin liquid cooled, fuel injected, Goodyear Hibrix belt, front discs are by Nissin @ a wopping 375mm 8 piston calipers, 170kg dry weight (claimed), 109KW power and comes with a 24 month unlimited milage warrenty. Comes in midnight black.
Cheers!

The Buell 1125R is the first American sportbike that actually looks as though it can play with the big boys from Japan and Europe. Personally, I'm not a big fan of Harley Davidson, but it looks like they finally did a good job making the new Buell.

the 1125r is awesome in theory but the owners have been having a lot of problems that the dealerships aren't resolving.

personally i'm a big fan of the lightnings and plan to swap out my 6r for one eventually.

Reading specs can alone be deceiving. The image projected can be disappointing when you actually have the opportunity sit on or ride a new motorcycle. The sameholds true for most things. I'll believe it when I see it in person - YMMV. [:@]

i just want the xb9 (the 12 is just a stroked 9 with only 10 more hp and a bunch more torque)

the 9 can get 60mpg and still has a nice broad torque band.

Those are awesome bikes, and hey, don't worry about posting stuff other than Kawi related, I mean if I got rid of all the threads where I posted stuff that had nothing to do with our bikes, then 80% of my stuff would be gone.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh
