You can have one new bike, feel free to modify it any what you want to. Which one would you buy?

CR. Don't have to mod to beat the performance of the XR out of the box.

Plus unless I am mistaken there has been no announcement of the XR1200 coming to the states yet. So the only one you can get is the 1125CR. I would chose the 1125CR even if the XR1200 was available.

I'd pick the Buell but I'm betting most people would choose the XR

Now if the choice was a XR1200 or a Moped I would probably take the XR1200, but I don't kind of on the fence might get the moped.

I hate the Cr, but I'd take it over the 1200. More performance, better lean angles and less weight.

The XR1200 will be a US model for 2010, maybe even mid-09.

Less than half the power and nearly double the weight. What's not to love?

Xr1200, because I missed out on the XLCR when that came out.

Now if Buell comes out with a dirt bike ... then the XR stays at the dealership and out of my garage.

CR - definitely edgy - not stodgy as the XR is.

Now if Buell comes out with a dirt bike ...

Is there a way we can prevent cityXslicker from using the words "dirt" and "bike" consecutively?

I am convinced Koz has a vendetta against the 1125 line...

these too should have never been compared to each other. Though I like both bikes if i was told to walk in to a dealer ship that had both and pick one there is no contest that new cr would be mine in a heart beat.

I think the 1125CR is the best looking bike that Buell has come out with. If I already had a 1125R for a track only bike, I would buy the CR in a heartbeat (providing that I could afford them). It's got the angry, pissed off look that I think a lot of people will like.

I suppose I will shut up about them when I get one in the garage... Until then, I am a postwh@re for dirt.

I got the ol XR back from mech this week : D CHAOS LOOMs
