Bad luck Carver ;-P

Would a mod fix the typo in the title please.

[Krayy]

What! No Buell XB12STT in there?

Bugger...looks like I'll have to just be happy "knowing" that it's the best :woohoo:

[carver]

fuck that, the ducati rules!

fuck that, the ducati rules!

They shouldn'ta lengthened the swing arm - woulda looked cooler and more compact with the same wheel base as the 1198, and would've handled sharper.

From what I've read it should be more of an animal than it actually is.

Looks gorgeous from some angles but shite from others. Hate the monsteresque single sided dual cans.

Looks gorgeous from some angles but shite from others.Yeah, but the 1125CR looks terrible from every angle!

[James Deuce]

Yeah, but the 1125CR looks terrible from every angle!
Except sitting on it leaving smudged lines on every corner exit. Mind you, I like ugly.

[imdying]

Besides, none of them are streetfighters. Manufacturers can try and milk it as a concept all they like, but you can't buy a streetfighter from a store.

/edit: Well, that's not totally true... if they took an 1125R and kicked it over on both sides, ripped off the fairings, put a naked bike headlight on it, and sold it as is, then they'd be selling a streetfighter.

i LOVE my CR.....

it out does the XB....

but i will not be selling my XB anytime soon though.. as i love em both....

one word of cation though... if you get the chance to ride one.... DON"T GRAB the front brake..... a GENITAL squeeze with 2 fingers is all it needs to slow from any speed....

I spied a Streetfighter at Casbolts today and went in for a perv.:woohoo:

It's sitting next to a S4R and LBD's super mint Tri Colore.

Tough competition in the beauty contest with a couple of faithful supermodels showing their class against the young new comer.

It appears I prefer a bit of maturity in my bikes as the older models got my tick in the looks department.

Then there was the 1125 a couple of doors down at Rolling Thunder, it's the side boobs I keep questioning on Erics styling.

At least the new Triumph Thunderbird a couple of doors down in the other direction was a pleasant surprise - it really isn't as big as it looks in photos.

Usually stops me dead in my tracks.

I used to hum and har about the side boobs until I dropped an 1125R and did no damage.

I'm sold on side boobs.

[imdying]

[MotoKuzzi]

Usually stops me dead in my tracks.

The unkindest squeeze of all.

[nallac]

It's grown on me

what like a wart?......

The 1125's don't look all that crash hot in photos,
but look a hell of a lot nicer in person...
