2009 Buell 1125 CR

I purchased new, a 2009 1125CR. It now has 12000kms in just under 2 years (commutting and w/end rides) & apart from a couple of issues (wiring loom, stater etc) all under warranty, this bike is a hooligan. I have had/rode many, many jap sportsbikes but this is the most fun, ear to ear grin bike I ... have ever owned. Power is great, handling is great and with the addition of the comfort bars and muffler/ecu, complete package. Brake are strong but lack initial feel, but you get used to it. The upgrade will be if and when the 1190RS goes into production & makes the Australian market, wishful thinking!

That's right! I just got one last week and I'm already attached to this thing like glue. It feels right, it looks great (got the red one) and it hauls major butt and it's not even broken in yet. Maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea or maybe you like riding what everyone else rides, but not me. In ... fact, this is my second Buell and probably not my last one (I also have an 08 Ulysses).

If you dare to go your own way and can appreciate a motorcycle that was designed to do the same, then this could be your bike.

I test rode a black 1125CR last week, and all I can say is "WOW". What an amazing bike. I have owned several sport standards (ZRX's, T-bird Sport, ect...) and this motorcycle is a whole new beast. Great comfort, wonderful power, super handling. The only detail, minor I might add, is the batbike ... muffler. I can deal with the large scoops, but that muffler is UGLY.

But Im sure I will enjoy this as my next bike.

Cool science behind the frame here:

Had mine for a week, and have fallen in love all over again. More power that I can use, humane ergos that will only get better when I add the optional high/wide bars, and did I mention the power? Faster than my Lightning 1200 without going over the 6000 rpm breakin cap. Whatever your preconception ... about Buell, Just go test ride one of the 1125 series... You won't come away dissapointed.

I just got one and it is every thing i have been waiting for and more!!!!!I LOVE IT!!!!!

I was at the Mid-Ohio raceway and got a ride on the brand new 1125CR courtesy of Buell as a VIP. Thanks Buell! :)

It is an amazing bike and quite frankly I think I may sell my 1125R to get one. The reason it is feels so light and nimble, and flat out goes!!!

Buell ... has made some great strides since being bought by Harley Davidson. I think the new "cafe racer" or street fighter will be a huge seller. If you get the chance, be sure to attend one of the Buell track days.
