then make 100 of them for random people to race the p!ss out of on race tracks across the country! If that won't make any and all problems arise, I don't know what will! Every 100 miles on these demo bikes is probably equivalent to 1000 miles on the road. Rock on Buell! |

You got that right and I think that is exactly what Buell had in mind. I rode the 1125R at VIR today and was very very impressed with the two that I rode (the piss out of). Only thing holding me back on this bike was the street tires. My impressions: 1. Lots of linear power all over the rpm range but really comes on around 7-8K. 2. powerslides off the corners real nice and predictable because there's no "hit" when it comes onto the power band (because the power is so linear) 3. The bike sounds way cool, but it's still fairly quiet. 4. The bike looks way better in person than in the pictures. 5. Very smooth shifting transmission (YEA!) 6. Rock solid handling and easy to ride fast. 7. The front brake - OMG Very impressed with the frt. brake over the ZTL1. Looks like my wish list has been answered; Thanks to everyone at Buell for a great day and a great bike! |

heheh...let's not forget about the whole XBRR experiment, just to prove the frame concept could handle the HP level ;) <personal> |
