The bikes have been resprayed in the colours of the series sponsor Bennetts Insurance, and in my opinion the paintscheme is hideous, although plain red would be quite nice but at least are getting the 1125R out in front of a knowledgeable sports bike buying public in the UK, even if they are not actually racing.   Baggermike Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 12:01 pm:        I like the way they did the white striping but think both wheel should look the same, I do not like the buell painted on the frame, but not bad.

I like the paint scheme, except for the oversized Buell sticker on the frame.   S1wmike Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 12:19 pm:        I don't care for the Buell on the frame either. It's not the my personal choice, but it is LARGE enough to be read from the stands.   Swordsman Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 01:13 pm:        Yeah, if the rider's leg didn't cover everything but the last "L". ~SM   Fresnobuell Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 01:23 pm:        I think they intentionally make it look large and out of place even if it is not very attractie--that way people take notice of it.   Court Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 01:45 pm:        >>>Could it be that the British Buell folks are waking up? Finish that last drink . . . I'll drive ya home.   Blake Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 06:58 pm:        Very NASCARish. Thanks for posting that Matt.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 07:04 pm:        Wasn't Niall one of the Buell suspension consultant/engineer/rider type folks while they were developing the 1125r? Nice....can't wait to see the post-event press (Message edited by ratbuell on April 08, 2008)   Blazin_buell Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 07:42 pm:        I AGREE THAT IT NEEDS MATCHING WHEELS. I for one, apparently the only one,like the giant Buell logo. And yes Europe is very aware of Buell, I read that they sell the majority (I can't remember the exact #) of Buells and are huge customizers of the brand.
