Brad: You are a CLASSIC! Classic what I don't know but I'm there with you. When the "r" came out my 1st impression was rather luke warm until, I saw one. The "cr" has some strange views to it also. Most of us are here because Buells are different. Sometimes that difference is good and..... sometimes not. Keep the faith, and patience. |

1125RR in 2010 would be sweet...fits in nicely with my 2-year upgrade schedule...another nice perk about bikes is that top notch performance is so reasonable that one can get buy the latest and greateat every couple years...or sooner for some. |

I REALLY hope Erik can get access to MV's styling department. |

From that view I'm just waiting for it to transform into a 30 story robot! If it don't chew you up and spit you out first! |

Looks okay from the front, bike then again EVERYONE agreed the 1125r was sweet from the front view....once one gets beyond the front view of the CR...egads...and people think the B-King is atrocious |

Remember the NAS? I do like the CR. I will predict, however, after most dealers spend the next year converting to the higher "optional" bars for their customers, that 2010 models will feature the higher bars as "standard" and the café bars will be "optional".

This bike is great!!! It looks like the 1125R version of the Lightning with the great seating position and the R's tail section! I think they hit a home run with this bike. |

The Bikini Fairing is great. Unfortunately it does not match one other single line anywhere on the bike or shape. I would love to see that bike minus the pods and the front fender Photoshop anyone? |

From the front, it looks like part Transformer, part Cylon Centurion (new series version), and part Robocop! And I'm lovin' it!! (the front view of the CR in black should've had a light background, you can barely see it, lol) |

I like the CR and the White 1125R is what I was hoping for. |

I think it is interesting. I would have to sit on it to see how it feels first. i agree with Joses. they will probably sell a lot of the higher bar kits.....rex |

"Remember the NAS?" Honda's fantasy bike that was never produced? Sure do. |

I can already see someone fitting one of those "angel eyes" halo headlight kits from Graves Motorsports in red just to make it look even MORE alive. |

Damn, she's sweet! This is the first bike I would buy brand new. Those clubman bars are da bitch! Leave it to Erik to come up with something so unorthodox - yet so right. |

I have been a bit critical of the new CR, but like the R....maybe, maybe in person it has the goods. as we ALL know with the R, it is not photogenic but in person it is drop dead sexy. |

I have been "pod friendly" in my outlook on Buell since the 1125R came out. So much so I bough the first 1125R I could get my hands on. That said, when I first saw images of the 1125CR Tuesday, I had mixed reactions. Scratching my head a bit. Being somewhat confounded as to what this might be. So I did not immediately react with a statement on BadWeb. Simply because I did not know what to say. The CR has grown on me. 72 hours later, this bike is starting to look more and more attractive and I can't wait to see one in person! |
