i have the 1125r and its awsum,had it on the track a few times now and find it handles really well.front brakes seem to stop really well and there is no shortage of power.just dont have enough track to get out of third gear at 200kms...i must say it rocks

Yes they are very reliable. Just like all Harleys are these days.

And just in case whatever throwback you were talking to gave you the other line, modern Triumphs don't leak oil either.

Like most comparable threads the only thing that makes a late model Buell or anything else..........fast/ill handling/blah blah blah is the person riding it,its that simple no matter what all the interweb heroes post up

Trackdays etc are one thing but in the real world of the average Joe a well ridden Buell or anythihg else (comparable) will show anything else (comparable) the way home.When tacks come down to tacks its that simple,i recently went through the Hundaless with a few mates,all of them being long term riders etc and the best moment of that particular day was watching a bloke on an old,very old GSXR outbrake a guy on a K6

coming up to a very tight lefthander......pure gold and something the likes of it seems doesnt get mentioned very much on interweb forums

From what ive seen the Buells get along just fine as do many other bikes that suffer from intereweb postings like the afore posted (there shit) from nobs that wouldnt have a clue,i say that most sincerely.

Well said - and as I ride my Hornet like a granddad (that means I pass Nanas) all Hornets are crap.

If you like them just bloody buy one.

I'll ride with you.

All I have to say about Buell ownerships is...

woooohooo!!!! yeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaa!!! brrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!!! hahahahahahahhahahah!!! woooooooooahhhhh!!!

Puts a smile on the dial every time.

Only thing I'm planning to change is to gear it lower using an XB9 primary sprocket and chain to get 3rd more usable in corners.
