The Buell 1125CR test

[buellbabe]

I own an old Buell and I love it but how to explain that 'x-factor' thing to a person who obviously doesn't like Buells and never will.

My old girl has done over 120,000kms (not nana kms either!) and, for me, still is the most fun bike ever. She may be an old model but because Erik was so forward thinking the X1 was and still is, in a class of its own.

my style-straight, harsh and clear.

OK that may be so but its not a "TEST".You dont mention the fuelling issues(although it does come up later in teh thread but you didnt bring it up) you dont say what issues with the handling make it less than desireable IYO...its just a rant

i didn't like this one, if old ones are worse then i wont like them either.

how do i know if its fuelling?
nothing outstandingly good about the handling, for such a radical bike
