Dear God (of Buell),

Thank you for the wonderful gift of the 1125R. It's a beautiful piece of machinery. But Father Buell, I'm a big man. I need a big bike. Reading all the reviews of the 1125R, I'm really wanting one, but I don't think it's practical for me as an "all around" bike.

God, please answer my prayer and build a Rotax powered Ulysses. Make it fast and agile. Light and comfortable.

Amen!

I'm 6'5" with a 36" inseam. Here's what I look like on the 1125R:



It's comfy for a sportbike, but not something I'd want to do a 300 or 400 mile day on, that's for sure. But MUCH better than my Gixxer.

Chad:

Who's that other guy laughing at you??

Ya know that "s" pegs can be fitted along with some more seat padding. That would give you 2" more.

I sat on the one down in M-Boro and....... ( I know we did a lot of work on my r but.). Know anybody looking for a REALLY clean 12r?????? If you do mine is listed in the classifieds.

That guy laughing at me...well, I don't know. But it must have been his bike because his name was on the airbox cover. LOL! : )

If you look to the right of Erik (with arms folded), you'll see Abe Askenazi, the Director of Analysis Testing for Buell.

Couldn't ask to meet to nicer folks.
