    The Buell 1125CR test

    The front end disappeared as I sat on the bike, I turned on the key, and the fans started their fucking annoying whining before I even started the engine.
    The ignition switch pressed, the engine fired up and idled at 3500 rpm, the dash proudly telling me this bike was made by Buell in Wisconsin.
    On idle it sounds like a overlocker on full tilt.
    The engine needs revs to keep going, it lugs badly below about 4000 Rpm.
    It’s a bit like a 450 MX bike engine, your either on the gas or off it.
    This bike is like fucking some annoying slut that wont shut up.
    I found myself yelling at it to perform.
    Its frustrating to ride, in town its terrible, on the open road its ok, nothing great.
    It handles ok, the brakes are nothing, nothing, nothing…..then severe fork dive and they bite too hard.
    The mirrors belong on a coke heads table, they are fucking useless.
    It wheelies ok, but I ended up wheeling it out of frustration.
    Apparently its thirsty too….
    The headlight does the job, bit like the girl next door-its nothing special.
    The styling is ugly, and far too overdone.

    So there you go, another American piece of shit that misses the mark badly, and should be used as a urinal.

    Must've been already hot then mate.

    Something not right with the one you rode then mate. What model overlocker do you own?

    Ours pulls harder than even you at low revs.

    Odd...my RMZ450 is THE nicest dirtbike engine I've ever used. More useable than your mother.

    Apparently?

    Seeing as you obviously sit down to pee...doubt you're even qualified to talk about urinals.

    I think you rode a bad example. One that shouldn't have been let loose as a demo. It's odd. The same basic bike (1125R) has been doing ok racing against the Aprillia RSV? How's that happen do you think?

    And before you ask...Chaz Davies is no slug.

    Next question?

    Sure have. Not too many motorcycles I haven't ridden. Most modern sportbikes and nakid sportbikes are more motorcycle that I'd ever need on the street though.

    don't think you got it at all carver.
    as crasher said, the 1125 r is doing very well as a race bike and the cr is not all that different.

    i doubt it was a bad demo, i suspect you did not spend enough time on it to get the hang of riding it. or you are just after an argument.

    i agree that it is ugly and hope they sort the looks out, aside from that i think you are wrong, as do most others who have reviewed it.

    I get the feeling that you wouldn't have liked it even if it came with a troup of pom pom waving Cheerleaders.

    The high revving idle would have annoyed me too.

    ah, it only has the high idle initially, i rode it for about a hour at a guess, and i could not wait to get back on my own bike

    i dont think im wrong, im sure the R would do well in racing, but there is a difference between race bikes and road bikes, and the bike i rode on the road was shit.
    i would have the Predator anyday over it.

    No such thing as a shit motorcycle that's made by the main companies anymore mate. Purely personal preference. Talking shit is another matter all together...that's alive and well.
