Found this on another Buell forum, not sure if it is okay to post links to another forum.



I dont know the truth behind it kinda looks like a photochop, but hey I like that exhaust...

V/R,
Nick

It looks photo-choped to me, but WOW what an improvement it is over a the released version. Interesting the lines chosen to balance things out.

I would buy that tomorrow, at $11,999, but not $50,000

photo chop all the way. look at the front. no brake lines, no visible throttle cables....

good idea though, makes it look good with those lines....

if buell would offer a few color options i think it might look better anyway....just me...

yeah I am going to say fake all the way to but the way it integrates a fairing below the air intake is cool looking but I like it the way it is now maybe a few different color options but thats it

This is a PS piece fo sho. As far as I know, Buell doesn't bolt fairing parts to the frame. (look at the edge of the fairing where the frame puck would sit)

Trojan made it clear that it was nothing more than a what if PS. It is still interesting non the less...

I am sure that in due time there will be considerable bolt on stuff for the 1125R.

As I said in the first post I still like the exhaust...

V/R,
Nick

It's totally obvious its not real understood. I think the excitement is in the possibilities. Understood the bolt may not be where a designer (one with style) places it in a prototype vs the final engineering.

Last I checked they were already bolting farings onto 25Rs in Germany. The bike does look nice with a full faring, though I haven't seen one that retains the 25Rs headlights -- which to me make the 25R unique -- otherwise it's just another BMW/Duc/Aprilia/etc...silly people trying to make a Buell look mainstream.

btw, nobody seems to have noticed the lack of a hugger on that PS image...can we say a rock through the battery? lol, thats a "special" edition.

If you could eliminate the heat exchangers that might work.

Can someone PM Eric and tell him to make this for 2009! All he has to do is this and ceramic coat the headers!
