Wow - she is gorgeous. Mine was SUPPOSED to show up last Thursday. Big sigh - hopefully she will show up soon. Weather is supposed to stay dry for a day or two - not sure about next weekend. Congrats. |

I agree, the perspective in those photos is very nice. Very cool how the sunlight plays with the color of the frame/fuel cell, swingarm, and wheels and also how that relates to the reflection of the sky on the shiny black finish of the body. The header pipes are magnificent. Any chance we could get you to tidy up the garage, sweep the driveway and take them same photos all over again? The 1125R that Ate the Canary? Sure has a look of complete and utter self-satisfaction. |

So have either of you set up a cot and sleeping bag in the garage yet? I'm laughing as I type this but truth be told, if it were I, silly as it sounds, I probably would be snuggled up against her the first couple of nights |

Um; is WOOT just an expression like Yee-Haw; or is it an acronym for something? |

You don't have to sleep in the garage, folks. The mirror stalks fold very nicely and easily (and 'click' back into the "out" position for a fast reset) so you can get it through the front door and park it right in the living room. Forgiveness? Permission? You decide.... And jeez...just 'cause you're jealous the guy has his already doesn't mean you have to hammer him about his garage being dirty! LOL. Well, back to stir the pot on the baseline thread.... |

if anybody that has actually seen a new 1125R and doesn't like it, please let me know so I can add you to my "do not read" list because you would have to be totally brain dead to not like the looks of the motorcycle. Everytime I see one now, I'm going to think how can I possibly get one! |

I was asked if the exhaust was changed. Folks mentioned they thought it sounded louder than the Inside Pass bikes. . . no changes. Just sounds great. |

Question, prolly been asked already, will the Firebolt custom seat fit on the 1125? |

It will fit. I've got one in the garage, waiting for an 1125R to put it on. Z |

"how does the rotax sound at idle...speed? " IDLE SPEED? The pic I saw showed it hitting about 8K rpm! |

That 8K must have been the tach needle sweeping when the key was turned on, because all the other indicator lights were on. I bet it sounds great at 8-10K! |

"Question, probably been asked already, will the Firebolt custom seat fit on the 1125?" i haven't actually tried to put on my tour seat yet but according to the manual and pics it should fit right on but the stock 1125 is an improvement from the stock firebolt seat so im giving the stock one a official road test first. "IDLE SPEED? The pic I saw showed it hitting about 8K rpm" and that pic wasn't really 8k just the key switched on, it hasn't seen above 8k yet. but i'll take a video of it today just at idle and a few revs and post it for you guys. |

Can someone photoshop the mirrors off and stick a set of bar ends on it? |

Yours are the first photos of the bike where I find the blue color good looking. I now must withhold my judgement of it until I see one in person. I'm hoping that I will like it. |

weather was too crapy to take it out for a video, i did take some pics of the blueness for you guys but like everyone says it does look much better in person, we'll see if my 7.2 mg pixel camera will do it some justice

Seems like they are doing shipping fulfillment from east coast toward west coast (approximately). I'm hoping I can take and post pics of mine in a week or less (optimistic). At least before Christmas. The wait is hard, especially when reports are coming in of people getting theirs. Congrats on a great bike Bjorn and thanks for the nice pics! Asbjorn |
