Blake, I say that after talking to different Dealers and in comparison to there are no 2008 Hayabusa's available, but I realize that is not with authority or science.

Dealer I bought mine from just received their 3rd 1125R a couple weeks ago. Supposedly there were people in line ready to buy. They called the list and people were like yeah I'll be down to look at it. No shows all of them. Hey the economy is bad, especially with an election year on us. First thing to slow down is luxury items. Of course for me the 1125R was not a luxury item but a necessity.

There is a line at my dealer too, but most want to ride it before buying.
I'll be the first to take one out the door!

Go buy the 1125R stop thinking about it and just do it. If you need permission from someone say Kris said so and in fact told you to buy one. If asked who's Kris well thats not important. If asked how you know Kris is right, then tell them that Kris's Friend who also happens to be female has decided that he is only right between the hours of 8-5 M-F (no not whipped it was a mutual decision) and that since this is being sent at 10:52AM on a Thursday then he must be right when he told you to buy an 1125R. So just do it buy the Bike you won't regret it, its great. Do it, Do it, Do it..

How can you not buy this bike??? Look at everything that went into the engineering, the looks, details, handling and performance... I love my 1125R and appreciate it more every time I ride. It makes me feel "special" and what more can you ask for from a bike??? It is a thoroughbred in every sense of the word.

It is like the Cadillac CTS commercial:

"when you turn it on does it return the favor?"

The 1125R does, every time...in spades!

I seen an ad for some jacket that said "A razor sharp machete in a world full of cookie cutters" . I think that says a lot.

When the Cycle World issue with the 1125r on the cover came out, I was blown away. I fell in love with the looks and the 6 speed, and the power. But, I figured the bike would msrp for 14-15 or so, so I didnt consider it as a purchase. Plus, I really love my M2.

When the price was announced, or when I heard what it was, I ordered one. I just dove head first and didnt let myself think twice. Knowing that thats what I did, I was worried about buying it. Im not rich by any means, and I sure didnt need another new bike, so I was prepared to deal with a lot of "buyer's remorse."

I had some buyer's remorse with my M2, as I was 18 at the time, insurance was insane, and all my buddies on rockets were way faster. I love her now though, she has been nothing but great to me.

With the 1125r, I just love it more and more every day. Words cant describe how much I love this bike. How it feels, how it looks, how it performs, indescribable. I just want to scream it from the top of a mountain! I am so glad I bought it, and I dont have a trace of buyer's remorse. I really love this bike.


THANK YOU BUELL!!!!!

Thats my story.

I ordered my 1125r after my sales guy came back from the track day test ride for dealers. I was already seriously considering the purchase, but he and one of the other sales guys that went to the event we SO enthusiastic about the ride quality and performance, that I put my money down.

When the bike arrived in early December (right as the snow started to fly), I stuck to my plans, and I paid for the 1125r. The bike stayed in Winter storage at Uke's until March 1st when we got a brief break in the weather. My ride home was cautious (because of the snow piled at the side of the roads) but fun.

Last week, I finally got a chance to take the bike out for a better ride, and I followed up with some suspension adjustments since it had been too darn cold to fiddle with the settings before. The bike was nothing short of awesome!!! The proper suspension settings, and the additional break-in miles had made a lot of difference in the ride. I reached 300 miles on that ride, and the first time above 6500 RPM was really a blast. It was fast and really smooooth.

I've owned several Japanese sportbikes with powerful engines before this bike, but the 1125r really just WORKS!!! Try it, and you'll be hooked.

I bought my 1125R two days ago. It is insane. I can't wait to finish the break in, so I can really open her up. Thank you all, you did help in my choice. I have already stripped of the passenger pegs and reflectors. Only 50 miles on her so far. With family visiting I haven't been able to ride. I was so impressed with this machine I sold my 2002 Night train with big bore kit and many extras to fund this purchase. Just 50 miles and it already seems worth it. So thanks again.
LIFE IS BETTER ON TWO WHEELS!

Congrats, you'll really enjoy it after the break in and you can open her up. She is crazy with power. Happy riding.
