Jaime - mine was late as well. It was supposed to ship on 9/12, but didn't ship until 9/30. I hope your wait isn't as long as mine was. |

Hey, feel MY pain, mine has to come all the way to Oz with a build date of ~30 Sept. Wonder if this thread is an indication of a longer delay for me.

Not CRs... Rs! For some odd reason, they shipped the CRs first and those of us who want some semblance of wind protection have to wait. |

The dealer I'm buying from has a black CR but not the red that I want . And it wont be here till Mid Nov. One dealer I went to had it but they were such a--holes that I would rather wait then give them my business . |

Count me in the waiting category too. How does that song go, "Waiting on a woman" or is it "Waiting on a bike"? Either way its worth the wait!!! |

Don't feel bad. Check the guys in the TriumphRat forum waiting for Street Triples. Some have been waiting since January. |

Yep, I ordered my 09 1125R back in early August in the full knowledge that the Buell website stated that production of the 09 bikes would commence in Sept 09 for the 1125CR and late Sept 09 for the 1125R. The delivery date for my bike is about the 3rd week in Nov, at least I know it is on the Atlantic on a ship - patience is a virtue but the weather is deteriorating daily here in the UK. The VIN number for my bike shows it was the 72nd 09 1125R built. |

The dealer called me yesterday afternoon while I was at Six Flags. The bike is due in TODAY! |

Got the VIN number!! With luck I'll be picking it up this weekend (I work during the week... it's a pain getting to the dealership after work). DAMN! I was hoping to be the first BadWebber to get his 2009 1125R, too! |

IT'S HERE! At least, it's at the dealership! Saw it last night as I was dropping off my XB12Ss for the last time. I SHOULD have my new baby Thursday evening (after they transfer over my BMW Accessory socket, and install the heated grips). OH BOY!! |

And I hope to be the first in the UK to get their hands on the 09 model |

Mine was late as well. When it was delivered, they placed it out on the showroom floor for all the dealer patrons to see. While it sat there, many people climbed on it to see the fit, etc. Well... as you can guess there were scratches, boot marks on rear plastic parts and on windscreen. So I told them I didn't want it and had to wait for another one. They did a dealer trade to satisfy my purchase. Word of advise, have them deliver it to you with factory protection still on it. Be very vocal and firm about it. They always do dealer prep on every bike, though tell them to leave the protection on and allow you to peel it off before you pay for the bike. You'll be glad you did... Good Luck |

Picked up mine today, the white, black and blue is purdy. I haven't ridden it yet because it's cold and wet here today. But it's supposed to clear up tomorrow. I did a heat cycle with it, let it cool off, and then the dealer tech took it for the PDI ride. Funny, the pipes aren't bluing at all like my '08 did, and it sounds different Just a heads up for anyone getting one, Buell changed the muffler mid run and they are now coming through looking exactly like the mufflers with the catalytic converter in them (Stainless steel collector at the header inlet). There was some confusion at first with us thinking it had a cat muffler by mistake, but the factory confirmed it does not, even though it looks like it does. They said if there is a letter "N" stamped on the collector, it is without a cat. If it is stamped "C", it has a cat. Mine is stamped "N". The dealer here took very good care of me on the trade. Thank - you to the guys at Lake Earie HD/Buell! |

We got in two crates from Buell yesterday. Today I found out they were a black CR and a black XB12R. On a side... I got my new Instrument Cluster today. AFVs are both at 100 but this is the butter-smoothest Loretta's EVER run. Shouldn't have any effect, but it seems to. I think I like the AT/Gear screen... Z |

What's the cost of the cluster, Zac? |

Not sure Jack. It was a warranty fix. H-Dnet says $250.37 MSRP. Z |
