Most disturbing are the pics of that yellow (presumably 1125 powered) mass centralised, teeny tiny tailed, side-boob-less development bike. All the 1125 should have been, it looked really good![]()

Have you any idea of the violence I’ve put upon myself over the last few months? The almost biblical asceticism?
"Flick the XB12R I said to meself, and get sommat sensible. Not something like, oh I dunno, say one of them new 1125CRs. That’d be well out of order, what wiv me bein’ all grown up an’ respectable an’ all."
One of the more… rational Buells is almost certainly more appropriate for the more mature and restrained dude. You wouldn’t catch any of the local family men of any sense, like, say James Duece on an 1125CR.
Never happen.
Even if, (for some unknown reason) the price was slashed to buggery.
Far too sensible.
Arsehole.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
Problem with the 1125 - it offered absolutely nothing new to motorcycledom.
It could have had a Honda or Suzuki badge on it and be claimed as the VTR, SV replacement. Note Honda would have done a better job on the side boobs as in the VTR .........
As a new top of the line Buell ultra-sports bike, it should have been a Ducati, KTM beater .......... I'd be surprised if anyone traded their Ducati or KTM in on one.
The Sporty ones quirkiness along with the compressor donk was part of the appeal. Certainly cool and I bet many a hyper sports bike rider has been surprised by one in the twisties!
IMO the CR was just a bit weird for Eric Buells sake ......... the things that made the Sporty based one interesting like the single rim-mount disk are just plain pointless on the 1125. If it was that shit hot a system all the hyper sports bikes would be wearing them, as it is, you only see them on expensive choppers!
Oil in frame etc - all old stuff - Triumph did it years ago.
His only offering to the rest of motorcycling is the under engine exhaust, and I am surprised how long it took this logical offering to catch on (said he who rides a under-tail system!).
RIP Buell, you certainly deserved a better ending.
The last Buell coming off of the production line and the fate of some others.
A sad day.

I see some dealers have $5k off the RRP. Some others do not.
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

Makes me wonder what the trade-in would be on the Z750S...
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
