So, does it come with the CR option, yet?
Nice writing there James. Well except for going totally George Bernard Shaw with the commas in that first para...LOL.
Glad to hear you didn't munt it dropping it on the foot.
I'm not sure about the looks either. But it does look better than a V-Strom.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

went passed AMPS on thursday last week and saw the CR Buell in their window,
i have a couple of spare hrs this thursday so will be popping in to take a gander,
i like the looks but will need to see it in the flesh before making my judgement
here is my shot of the 1125r
Om nom nom!
You better tell me how it feels to sit on!
Can't choose between the CR and the ZX-14 as the bike I want to get after my Legend plate is gone. TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS!
Seriously like the CR though, exhaust unit looks a trippy piece
EDIT:
I can just ride there on friday...
SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO ON MY LAST DAY AT WORK!
I LIKE IT
The new motor gave me an excuse to like it
The article I read - one of - NO, THE best one I read this year, sealed it.
Some Guy hanging out with Eric the Man himself.......drinks on the Buell tab, - all seemed to make perfect sense to me.
I really hope this motor works out
"If you haven't grown up by the time you turn 50, you don't have to!"
You're onto it...
Maybe it's one of those bikes that look better in the flesh. Seriously, I do like the look of the previous models. It was a bit disappointing to see these as the next generation. Suppose they had to compromise with the new engine with radiators and the fairing for function...
No toasted feet here. In fact, keeping the balls of your feet on the pegs was cooler than riding duck footed. I reckon there' s cunning airflow directed at your feet.
Oxtar (Now TCX) make good boots.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Raidator cowls remind me of the intakes of an A-6 Intruder. Man that thing could pack a punch in its day.
your on the money with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" My partner (balzybuell) is the proud owner of the 1125r.
It's not much to look at when ya first see it but the more you look the better it becomes.
Who cares what it looks like anyway cuz man it goes like the clappers 2 up over the rimmies![]()
Man, another coffee down the windpipe moment right here.
You guessed it. It just stalled into a dead faint and slowly toppled onto my foot. The iPod wearing gentleman didn’t even notice my desperate plight and continued his journey while I coated the inside of my visor with spittle.
Brilliant stuff Jim.
As for the bike, you'd be a fool not to give one a try after the accolades it's been getting and the marvelous engineering concepts are real good, but.....I've gotta join the naysayers here,yes I'm afraid I'm one of those shallow people that count a bikes looks amongst the necessary criteria for bike purchasing.
I love riding but I also spend a lot of time just plain looking at my bikes, sorry guys but that fella, sweet as it may be to ride, looks like a home built one off with supplementary wheelbarrow parts.
