Well, I am officially a "bueller" once more. Bought my 1125R yesterday but since I rode to the Dealer on my Street Glide, I opted to wait until today to pick it up. No biggie really since me and the family would be in the area anyway. Rode it home just now and I really like this bike. I have owned and roadraced a bunch of big sportbikes and litre size twins so it's kind of difficult to impress me but the Buell so far has really been a pleasant surprise. "slipper" clutch seems to work better than the one on my old Duc 996 and even the one on the ZX10R I sold a couple years back. Brakes seem like nice step up from the last XB I owned and the power is definately more than adequate. I haven't messed with the suspension yet and I probably won't until I get it to a racetrack but it seemed to be sprung appropriately which is more than I can say for any of the japanese sportbikes I have owned. Looks wise, I hated it when saw pictures a few months back but it grew on my and now I love it in person. Other people seem to as well since I got a few friendly waves and thumbs-up while I was bringing it home. Price was very reasonable too. I didn't get it for 10K but I did get it for less than MSRP and only 400 over after I paid my state taxes and all "fees" associated with a motorcycle purchase. I only rode it for 60 miles so my impressions are truly initial impressions but so far so good

There are always 30 or 40 bikes in the bike parking lot where i work. A huge assortment and no 2 bikes are the same. And everyone is always huddled around my 1125r. I have Hands Down The coolest bike at work
