If that was going to be the new 2011 model. The powers that be @ Harley-Davidson should be publicly hanged, Buell started back up and and all new exe's put in place @ HD starting with Erik Buell being placed as head of design and Erik Buell's number two should be placed in another primary role. |

All the rumors of what could have been are continually making me more disgusted with HD. That picture makes it even more apparent that they didn't want Buell to succeed. Why they didn't want to have a subsidiary that were in step with what is going on now and not what already happened is beyond me. |

I'm betting against that being a new 1125. I'm thinking that its the replacement for the Blast. I'm looking at the slender rear tire, really light spokes on the front wheel, and less than enough cooling to satisfy the Rotax. I think that the fork legs look less beefy than what's on the 1125R/CR. I'd not be at all surprised to find out that it was a strong-running 450 single. (Yes, Court is probably reading all of this and just laughing.) |

I don't care if that was a 250cc beginner bike. I dig it! I just shed a tear... |

Yeah, I am interested in it too. Probably does anyone has additional information about it? |

Shock placement says that's an 1125 frame. Something is a bit different with the swingarm ends. Some adjustability? Maybe for an easier chain conversion for those who race? Or maybe it already was chain driven? The dreamed about 1125RR street model? Rev B clutch cover. Looks like the race type exhaust with the couple of shiny spots visible. Front wheel looks cool, very thin spokes. Notched brake rotor. Tail light assembly looks like it would be quick detachable for track use. Can't quite make it out but it does look like intake scoop(s) under the headlights. Sorta 1198. Probably would have been nice. |

Would have been cool if it had been an announced model on my birthday like the STT was years ago. |

Regarding the STT, they could have made an 1125RTT,
if only... |

Pretty neat Sparky. Now go test to see if they cut drag at high speed. Purely for scientific educational purposes of course. Not just some excuse to try the top end. |

Man, beautiful bike! If the 1125R originally looked like that yellow bike, I'm thinking it would have been a much better sales success. Say what you will, but the 1125 wasn't exactly a beauty. Functional, sure, but it wasn't going to lure a typical sportbike buyer by its looks. |
