09 buell 1125r & 1125cr

With this model, Buell is doing a Microsoft: Beta testing with real customers. Sloppy and unacceptable, particularly for a comparatively expensive motorcycle.

No they aren't. I've got to know some of the people there quite well.
Not what they are about at all.

They may be nice people, but this new bike has some significant shortcomings that the folks at Buell don't yet seem to have any answers to.

I haven't yet seen an attractive photo of the 1125r.

Looks ok in the flesh, but is ugly as sin on film.

Some of the 1125Rs are having a problem with throttle lag and poor EFI performance.

One of the Demos here was so effected. I've ridden it and it wasn't right.

Three test bikes I've flogged were sweet as a nut.

They have released several patches for it already.

Ya just all jealous that a american has designed a bike that is a awsome to ride,its the best Buell i owned so far,i dont give a shit what it looks like cause i know Erik knows how to build a bike,i havent had any problems with mine yet,if i do i know they will go out of their way to fix it,not like some of the Jap equiv bikes they dont want to no about it.

I haven't been following closely - but it 'may' even have been sorted.

Certainly it's not the dominant topic on the board any more as it was for a while.

Jealous?If i wanted one i would simply go buy one,easy really.Are you saying its ugly?Personally i dont mind the look of it.

Looks pretty good to me, I would certainly wanna ride one if it was on offer

There's something disturbing about a naked bike with Side Boobs. A bit like finding Aunt Mathilda standing to pee.

**Big Dave** · 31st August 2008, 10:03

I see the transformers rather than Aunty or a Lobster.
