One of the most favorable reviews I have seen on the 1125R.

Yes, it is very good. And it is amusing as well as informative.

That's a great article... It proves that when someone gives it a real chance it can shine. This article makes some of the others seem biased when it comes to their distaste for Buell. It just goes to show that a good editor will love the machine for what it is.

Everyone who reviews ANYTHING brings preconceptions if not actual prejudice to the job.
Buells are different hence most "professional" MC reviewers/testers aren't as familiar with them and are vaguely uncomfortable with them.

He did not ride it on the street. That seems to be where the bike gets burned in the reviews. No pun intended.
