    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.

    hey BD see when comments like the previous are posted i tend to not bite as we both know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we both know buells are not made for looks they are made for riding.

    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

    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.
