Just sitting here with PBS on tv in the background. They're going to do a test ride of the 1125R (I think, they said Buell's new V-twin and it looked like the 1125R in the preview). I'll post back when it's over. |

Dave Durso is the reviewer.

Well that was short and interesting. Nice review, pretty much all positive, he called it the best Buell yet. The opening background portion of the review started with someone on an S1 (at least I think it was an S1, didn't have my glasses on at the time and it was blurry). Just dumb luck that I was sitting here and happened to have the tv on and on that channel. Did anybody else catch it? Or is this a re-run and old news that this show did a test ride review of the 1125R. Oh well, time for sleep. |

I remember when they did the S1. Don't know if they do other bikes but I did like the story. I to wouldn't have known if I didn't have it on. |

MPT airs Motorweek Thursday at 8PM and Saturday at 5PM down here. I'm sure the written transcript will end up here, as with the S1W and XB9R. |

Just watched it and thought the guy riding did not know how to push it to the edge, but was nice to see and hear it in motion. Mike |
