At this time last year speculation was rampant on the new models that were coming. Numerous threads were maintained and everyone was anticipating huge changes on the XB platform and a first look at the 1125R. Fast forward to today and I have yet to see any comments on what offerings BMC has in store for 2009, either the XB or the 1125R. Has anyone heard anything on the 2009 models? | ||

More colors for the 2009 1125R, A naked 1125R and a Cafe Racer 1125R (hopefully Old School) And I heard this from an unimpeachable source......... | ||

A firebolt headlight fix for 2009? A real headlight fix? Or am I asking for too much?  | ||

The cop Uly is the only 09 Buell i've seen so far. http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2008/05/2009-buell- ulysses-xb12xp-police.html Read some speculation about a Rotax powered 125hp Uly. But no info to back it up. | ||

Please say there is a revised 1125 with different looks???? | ||

A carbureted XB12M Cyclone, with standard (non-cartridge, non-upside-down) forks for $9,000.00 Hey, I can dream, can't I? | ||

I miss the arguing it was entertaining... I think the 1125 stoked our fires and now we are all warm and fuzzy.. My prediction... Two bikes *Naked 1125... *Smaller Version of the 1125 750-800cc, I can see the air cooled fire bolt going away *New bits, Fairings, carbon, etc... BMC for cripes sake fix the new FI my bike needs a stable mate...  | ||

I can see the air cooled fire bolt going away I don't. I see more Bolts than any other Buell on the road. I hope they don't get rid of it, It's my favorite Buell. | ||

Bold New Colors!! | ||

Sales wise lightnings are better sellers thats why there are 5 offered and only 1 bolt left I love the bolt......... Sales wise a Update or a added Bolt with a Rotax motor, water or air cooled would make sense.. I think BMC with a bike should go after the potential people who would buy a 600cc sport bike.. That's a big Ole apple to take a bite out off.. Rumor mill, the company that makes the 1125r has two new frames for buell Two new models or two bikes getting new frames TT might go away.. | ||

If they do make a lower displacement 1125R that puts out a just a little more hp than the 12R then there won't be much of a reason to keep the firebolt. Especially if they were able to tighten the geometry of the smaller R to be similar to the 'bolt. The aircooled engines are perfect for the lightning and ulysses models so I don't see much use in putting the helicon motor in them. I don't do any offroad riding but wouldn't aircooled be better? Seems that most offroad/dual-purpose bikes are aircooled. | ||

XB5 . . . . . . . . I mean, really, it would rock. I would buy one -- wouldn't you? A naked/cafe racer type 1125 engined bike would be pretty cool too. | ||

XB5x...... Yep the dirty light bike. come-on bring it. Leave that big air crap to the arena crossers, bring us a light nimble mass centralized Buelly for dirt squirtin make it a Dual sport or Super Moto capable. And maybe a bold new Orange color  | ||

The cop Uly is the only 09 Buell i've seen so far. http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2008/05/2009-buell- ulysses-xb12xp-police.html Read some speculation about a Rotax powered 125hp Uly. But no info to back it up. Your shittin' me. I want one and a buddy named 'Ponch'! -where is the shotgun holster? | ||
| Corporatemonkey |
I think I might be the lone dissenter, but other than the police bike I doubt there is anything else new this year. I bet they focus on quality control this year. | ||
| Bigredwood |
Or buying MV! | ||
| Retrittion |
Hey, maybe they then they could give me some MV headlights for my 'bolt...hey, now I understand their master plan!  | ||
| Gentleman_jon |
Definitely going to be a Cafe Racer, 1125CR, no question about it! I think............  | ||
| Rick_a |
I heard there's going to be an 1125 with vertically stacked headlights from an unverified source. | ||
| Werewulf |
you will have the option of choosing where the flat-spot in your power band is located..unlike the 08s.. | ||
| Tattoo72 |
Is this the new Lightning?? http://www.bostonbiker.com/electric_superbike.htm | ||
| Babyhuey |
i'm with jonathan, definitely a 1125cr, just a guess based on what i've seen.-andrew | ||
| Randomchaos |
A naked version of the 1125R would be a good move. Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki all make big HP naked bikes now. Put that watercooled motor in the naked bike like the lightnings :shivvers:. | ||

I think we shall see something on the last day of Homecoming, like was done last year. | ||

That electric bike is nuts. Why don't they try using hydrogen fuel cell or something like that instead of 5000 Li-Ion batteries? I heard those Li-Ion cells can explode easily or something. | ||
| Drfudd |
I don't predict much for 2009. they would be stupid not to have a few new colors for the 1125R. and here is a leaked pic for a new color firebolt:  Nah its just a new transformer from Transformers 2. But its nice to see Buell product placement rather than ALL GM products | ||
| Ducxl |
New and improved quality XBr headlights.  Hey,a defect is a defect,and this has gone on long enough.To not fix it at this point is spitting in our faces. | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
