I went to the CW show in Phoenix and got to throw a leg over the 1125Rs they had there...they also had every model Buell in a few color schemes and a really nice, approachable rep...though I felt I knew more about the bike than he...misperception? Anyway, I tried out the GSXR and ZX as well as an R6 and all felt completely laid over from a rider perspective..the 1125 is a bit more aggressive than the XB, but not so much a stretch as the sportbikes. The 1125 was actually somewhat comfortable and gave me the slight thought ' maybe I actually could feel right riding this.' At any rate, it really does look better in person with the gunmetal blue frame. They had a cutaway version as well...supreme engineering. They also had every rim represented on each of the bikes...you really don't get a feel for just how gorgeous the color offerings are till you see them. I was disappointed that they did not offer demo rides as Kawi and Can-Am offered them all weekend. Overall nice show with lots of models. I will say this...Buell was right next to HD, but you couldn't even tell they might be related if you didn't already know. |

Boy I must be the biggest bonehead around...I didn't even think about that! Doh! Alas, I do not know what the swag was as it never occurred to me...I was mesmerized by the 1125. |
