Any 2009 rumors?

[lmychajluk]

I read somewhere that Buell usually announces it's new lineups in July. Any rumors as to any new bikes?

I'd love to see a XB9XT Uly with a ~30" seat height and the narrower hard cases from the XB12XP. As a new rider, I think that may make a pretty good introductory Adventure/Touring bike.

Saw in a magazine that Eric wanted to make a dirt bike to sell. Higher ups a HD said no, not this time.

The 1125CR is the only one I can think of.

BMC seems to hold their cards close to the chest on new models.
We might start hearing rumors a few weeks before any release, nothing 7 months out...

I started seeing stuff about a new model, then a few days later, HD announced the purchase of MV Agusta and Buell announced the CR.
Not sure which event triggered the rumors, still.

Well, Buell seems to be very cautious about changing platforms, and I think there is a lot left to experiment and work with on the 1125 series. New models, as with the XB's, will probably only be variants at this point.....although the MV Agusta purchase certainly has me dreaming up exotic morphodites!

I'm with you. I had been looking at theXB9 till I found out the price on their bags plus I got a left over 08 deal.
