http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?Ar ticleID=7183&Page=1 Is there ever going to be a review that doesn't mention the fuel injection stumbles? |

Yup. When they're fixed, they won't be mentioned anymore. Why should Buell be different than any other bike reviewed/tested? |

IMHO it's a pretty darn good review. If it had more miles on it that issue might be lessened or eliminated. Also, the V-twin power pulses catch some riders off-guard and they think that it is a fueling issue versus typical power pulses for a big bore V-twin. Later |

Overall positive review. The final paragraph says what really matters: So is the new 1125CR for me? Would you find one parked in my garage? Absolutely. While there are still some peculiar traits like the 1980s-sourced handlebar switchgear and the front brakes that you have to mash on to get the brake feel your after, overall the 1125CR is a complete package whose faults are few and far between. The 1125CR is finally an example of a well-made American motorcycle that can finally compete with the best coming out of England, Italy, or even Japan. |

Yeah those testers should get out and ride some other bikes some time. |

Overall I think the article was ok...but when I came to the line about "carburetion" and "jetting" I almost went outside to see if mine had carbs and not FUEL INJECTION. Then I thought, no wonder their bike had issues...it was "carburated"!!! Come on people...words mean things, and when your going to print a technical article start sounding like you can tell your A$$ from a hole in the ground. Just my .02...refunds available by mail.

I think the 09 1125 models are going to do great things to smooth over initial impressions of the 08 1125R. |
