Nice. Was this a factory bike? Or did someone own it already? Mine is supposed to ship 9/19. |

Is it just the angle of the pics, or does it look like the scoops interfere with the head lights? |

i don't know who's bike it was, it was plated for WI. i wish the owner was around... must be someone over at the Buell factory i assume. yes... the scoops & the headlight are very close. but it looks just plain "mean" to me !! |

I'm going to guess it's a factory bike, seeing as how there's a Buell riding suit and a Buell helmet attached to the thing. |

Factory, either Buell or HD. I've been seeing red and black ones zipping around the Waukesha area. |

Couple things I notice: 1. The pipes aren't as 'blued'. 2. The front brake hose is now routed on the outside of the fork leg. |

That 1125CR just might get me to consider another h2o bike.... |

to me it looks like the Kawai z-1000 and alot of other bikes around. The only thing that really sets it aside from other bikes is the Salad Shooter scoops...which I hate more than a silk sock full of thumbtacks. |

Thanks for the pix! The CR is looking good. I can't wait to ride one. |

Yup, that was the 2nd one at the Rockerbox. The S2 next to it is also a factory employee. The 1125CR does indeed look better in person. |

Oh YEAH!!! Second picture of the CR, it looks like there's a little "parking" light in the center of the headlight. You can bet I'll be swapping that out for a red one. I can't wait to have mine. This is going to be the longest 6 weeks of my life... And that XR looks good, but I'm more interested in the Cafe'd Sportster parked in front of it in the second to last picture.

No MFG plate on the Xr? Somebody own one now here in the US? |

Yup. Somebody owns it. I'm guessing the owner of House of Harley, since it was their "booth" where the bike was sitting. My HD engineer buddy I was with checked the VIN, and yes, it was a European VIN # |
