1125R First ride! http://www.cycleworld.com/article.asp?section_id=3 &article_id=459 Don Canet takes the new bike around and around Laguna. And a photo gallery of BadWeb Buells!(mostly) http://www.cycleworld.com/article.asp?section_id=3 &article_id=460 Thanks to all you guys who sent in photos...I can't thank you all personally (too many responses!) but I really appreciate it! Our readers will judge your bikes (they are very judgemental) and the winner will get a Cycle World T-shirt. Thanks again, you guys are great and congratulations on having such a good forum. | ||

anyone else having problems with the third pic in the gallery? i saw my name pop up there once, but no pic, then i got a pic but it is so huge all you can see is a corner!? | ||

Gabe: Judge our website and we'll send you a Buell shirt. Heck, we are so frickin' 21st Century!  Well done piece on the Buells! | ||

Very well done. Way to show support for us buell riders. | ||

Most excellent! How about I trade a Four Wheeler shirt for A Cycle World shirt Gabe? --Sean | ||

well i talked to gabe, and the pic seems to come up fine on there computers, but they use firefox as a browser, and the computers i have been on are windows, and so is a friend of mine that had the same problem seeing it, so maybe its just a windows thing? he said they were going to try to get it straightened out so it worked for everyone though!! | ||

Works fine for me. | ||

Very cool, thanks Gabe! | ||

To bad the Buell haters roam that forum. | ||
| 4cammer |
Yep, there are some real tools on that forum. Love the magazine and the addition of Gabe from mo.com is a plus, but the constant negative drivel from a few of the forum posters makes for a tiring read. | ||
| Wile_ecoyote |
Just wait till Buellgrll gets on there, it'll be a mess. She IS negative drivel. | ||
| Bads1 |
Don't pay any attention. When you do something custom or even personal you'll have critic's and people that really enjoy or like what a person has done. | ||
| Typeone |
sweet! thanks, Gabe!! i could care less what the haters say, I'm just psyched to have my ride in the group.  | ||
| Snowscum |
Good job on getting the customs in there! Still the S1, in my opinion, is the sexiest bike ever made. To bad I can't fit on one.  | ||

This is my coolest Badweb photo lately, and even includes an 1125R. I went to the factory a few weeks ago to thank Erik and all the Buell folks did for Matt and to show a few co-workers the Buell world. I did not figure we'd have this bike accompany us to lunch at Gus's, with Erik on board. It's a sweet bike, sounds great, and I might have even seen a bit of a wheelie. Thanks for a great visit and all you have done!)  | ||

It’s also pretty much what my seat-of-the-pants dyno registered when driving off of Laguna’s grippy corners, all of which were taken in second or third gear. Translation. WOW! This bike moves. Control operation is light and precise and the no-nonsense sporting ergonomics simply fit without there being any quirks requiring an acclimation period. Translation. Buell has made a awesome fitting bike. Wow again. | ||

With a claimed 82 foot-pounds of torque, shifting gears will be mostly optional. Wheelies may be mandatory. Thats my favorite part! lol | ||

Great article by Don Canet, and great slide show. It is good to see your own bike on CW's site! | ||
| Blake |
Thanks Gabe! Great stuff! | ||
| Wile_ecoyote |
The picture above is yet another reason I love my Buell. Taking time out to meet Prior for lunch. The man has soul. Too cool. | ||
| Court |
>>>>The man has soul. While that is true . . . he's also a sucker for a free lunch. He soaked you, didn't he Alex? | ||

"Yep, there are some real tools on that forum." It has to be embarrassing for CycleWorld to have their forums populated by the most idiotic people on the internet. I used to chafe under the strict moderation of the BadWeb, but after spending a couple of hours on the CycleWorld forums, I realize it's the only way. There but for the grace of Blake and his pack of rabid moderators, go us. | ||

We've enjoyed some winners here as well - its something to be glanced over and ignored - for the most part - people see it for what it is - the reviewers have reps, but a forum member is just that - lol - now on to the cool stuff - the 1125R and the fact that my Blasts made it there as well - lol - that 1125r is a sweet bike though and I'm really following its reviews - hope to see it soon - as soon as I saw that other 72 deg style motor, I wondered - and sure enough - though that motor came out first, Eriks rotax was in development prior to it - sweet! GT - JBOTDS! EZ | ||

"There but for the grace of Blake and his pack of rabid moderators, go us." WOOF-WOOF!  Thanks DJ. But I have to credit Don Casto and Jim Witt with the inspiration to keep a leash on things here. Thanks Don and Jim! (Message edited by blake on September 02, 2007) | ||

And now we know the *real* reason for the early release of the bike... The elves couldn't bear not riding it in public anymore | ||

So are the bad web bikes going to be in a magazine or just on the net? | ||

Rats, neither of mine got in--  |
