Buell 1125R

[BillTheCat]

Has anyone seen the new Buell*1125R man it looks like its going to be one bad MO FO Liquid-cooled fuel-injected Helicon Rotax motor 10'500 redline 146hp-82ft/lbs torque -Slipper clutch 6speed WOO HOO 8 piston brake calipers
They might try to race this thing......and maybe givem a run for there money :D

I like the looks and it finally gives them a really good chance to race one on one with the other sportbikes. With all that power and don't forget it only weighs 375 pounds. I'm sure they will have some bugs to work out but it will be a good one for them. I wonder how hard it would be to fit that 1125 in my Sporty??? If they make a model for street use, higher bars, I'd consider buying one.

You can put handlebars on anything! I am 49yo. and my last 3 Bikes were extreme superbikes you get use to the riding position -If !-you like the thrill of it all ...... Just join the gem or work out more :eek:

[BH121869]

Your right an all counts. I usually do change the bars and do need to work out.

The worst thing about the 1125R, along with all the hype is.......
has anyone seen MSRP yet?:confused:

[BillTheCat]

You would think they would be trying to compete with say the
Ducati 1098 :rolleyes:

No, have you seen a price yet?

[WhiteLightning]

The 1125R retails for $12k

The price has been on the Buell website for a while now.

[BH121869]

Seems like a good price to me. I'm amazed it is not more.

OK, thanks! I guess I've been too busy looking at the videos to notice the price!
I love that bike!;)

1125cc...... 142hp........ liquid - cooled engine.....ARRRR!!! ARRR!!! ARRRR!!!! :D

We have a contender.....maybe

Unless for the same $12,000 price you want to get a 1352cc Kawasaki ZX14 or go with a Hayabusa

[BillTheCat]

Apples & oranges The only thing you can compare it to is the Ducati 1098 Unless Honda comes up with a 1200cc RC51:eek:

[CB750F]

For 12 grand I can buy at least 12 running older bikes..............

It is a good looking bike though.

[Uesque]

Erik Buell is a Pennsylvanian, we should get him on here.

[CB750F]

Good idea!

having ridden an 1125r (without a go-along from the dealership, mind you) i can vouch for its horsepower. in first cruising at 3k rpm, a quick roll of the throttle has the wheel up at 6k rpm and it just keeps going from there. in second, the story is the same, only the front wheel comes up at 8k rpm. third requires some clutch, but not much. and i NEVER ride wheelies. i accidentally found out. lol it also stops like a beast. i had to make a quick stop in the IHOP parking lot just to see if you could tell the difference between the firebolt (6 piston caliper) and the 1125r brakes (8 piston caliper, way less weight too). ohhhh yeah. the first thing in my head when i rode the 1125r was "holy crap! it's a firebolt with an amazing transmission and bigger balls!" i strongly reccomend test-riding one. :]

They want to compete with Ducati and Aprilia, they could care less about Suzuki, Yamaha... etc. Their whole goal was to compete with higher end bikes with the latest and greatest technology.. so their price definitely compares to those bike. No one really says "Hey do I buy the Suzuki or the Buell"... its two completely different bikes with two completely different target demographics.
