    no huge surprise, i find the xb12r good but think the xb12s would kill it with the wider and higher bars.

    Nice! There's something about the Buell that still has me twisted around its little swingarm. They're a story on two wheels and ooze character. I've had the pleasure of riding a couple now and my main hurdle is getting used to the rather laid back engine, but they turn so fast yer arse takes 2.43 seconds to catch up after each corner. Lovely.

    Bloody Harleys ........

    Interesting note - I've a copy of the latest Fast bikes magazine as they do a naked bike comparo (well fairly exotic naked bikes...) and they did not rate the 1125CR well...... only got a 5/10.

    I'd have to say I prefer the 'Harley' ones ...... yum

    So it corners good? Guess it had to do SOMETHING well
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I thought the S and the R cornered well, but lets put it in perspective. It comes at a corner so fuckin slow, you have an eternity to set it up, position it on the road, and get it round.

    Excellent - made me laugh!!!!!

    I find the English sports magazines are pretty much anti anything remotely related to HD. Must have something to do with all those American soldiers shagging their women years ago .......

    wish I were a good rider to explore its handling, but Im happy with mine, and my ability to ride it.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.
