FINALLY! I saw an 1125R on the road today at 182nd and Crenshaw, in Torrance CA at about 6:45 PM. I was going the other way on my Lightning. OK, not significant to most of you, but until today, I only saw them on the dealership floor! Given the number of bikes I see, I have been waiting to see an 1125R on the road. |

I wonder how you saw it. Usually we are going so fast that the normal eye cant detect us. You must have some super seeing ability |

I rarely see any Buells at all. Came home from getting the 5th gear oil jet recall last Saturday and saw one at the dealership (nice to meet you, Dano_12s!)and two others on the road! |

I'm a SoCal rider here....never seen another on the road still to this day. I even went to the local "bike night".......with over a hundred bikes in attendance, I was the ONLY Buell. (So yeah, the 1125 stood out like a sore thumb) |

There is usually an update in Storm Fronts under the Southern California section. If you email Al Lighton at American Sport Bike he can add you to the email list. Rides are usually first Sunday ever odd month and meetings are every even month at Knollwoods BBQ. Al should be on his way to Laguna Seca so he will probably not respond till after the weekend if you email him. |

I had one go by my house out in the country. My 1125r was in my driveway and the guy on the one going by took a long look at my bike as he went by. Thought he might come back around but did not. The next time my bike was at the dealer the buell mechanic asked me where I live and I found out that was him that went by my house on a customer bike. He sees me plenty at the dealer, thats why he kept going! |
