I am really getting wound up here in the UK. The 09 model year Buell sales brochure came in the mail to my house on July 3rd, having helped run in my dealer's 1125R in the Spring I arranged another test ride and then ordered my 09 white 1125R on Aug 1st. The Buell tracking system advises that the crate/container left the USA a couple of days ago but this waiting is killing me. The autumn (fall to you guys) is coming and the daylight hours are getting less each day. My beloved much modified Firebolt is still being used but I am envious of those in the states who have got their bikes already and a thank you to all the current 1125R owners who have helped iron out all the bugs. |

Enjoy John. You will love it. You guys get some horrid weather over there. Hope you get some time to get the bike broken in and have some real fun before winter sets in. |

But I'm in Oz, and spring is already here and summer's coming! |

The CR is at the dealers here in the states, but I have yet to see an '09 R model anywhere. Has anyone seen one yet at the Dealers? |

I've ridden ours. We also have an 09 Lightning. They're coming.

Don't fret, John. I'm the states, ordered my CR on August 6th, was supposed to ship Sept 12. If I'm lucky, it left the factory yesterday or the day before. Things are running a little behind... |

I know you are originally from Texas Zack. But I believe it is going too far when you arrange the mirrors on the CR to resemble a Texas Longhorn! |

They're not out yet here either Dirty. The only pics are from demo events. |

Asbjorn - that's how it rolled off the pallet/crate. I thought it looked like a "devil-bike". Z |

Ok, get your cows straight. Those would be Hereford horns, not Long Horns. Jez... |
