Once the Spaniards are on board, Europe follows. They know bikes cold. If you ever go to MotoGP in Jerez, you'll see why. FWIW, the trip from Madrid to Jerez is a biker's dream (if you aren't scared the mountainous twisties). Make sure you stop in Seville because it's the home of the hottest women in all of Spain I don't really feel like translating this for you. But, I think google is ok with Spanish. http://www.motociclismo.es/Pruebas/buell-1125-cr-1 125-cc-streetfighter-novedad-2009-kw-contacto.jsp% 3Fid%3D5700 | ||

For those who can't (or don't want to) screw around with a translation process... You are welcome! <grin> Rob One year after the onset of the 1125 Buell R we have the privilege to prove his naked version, called the 1125 CR (Cafe Racer). The differences between them are minimal, and the truth is that a sport-tourism alternative, staff, uniform and high performances like the first, the guys from Buell have resulted in a practical, fun and very powerful naked sports. This was at least the impression that we took after shooting her in the Berlin of the Brandenburg Gate, the wall of the Iron Curtain and the "Check Point Charlie ', and after a few laps to a small circuit located on the outskirts of the city. Too bad that water falling from the sky all day long overshadowed a bit its global launch ... Total Hit The birth of this version 'naked' is a success because it puts Buell at the height of the best sports naked at the time, and with a family and close air for the driver who is not intimidated by her or touch or by general behavior .It is not out to detract from the exotic XB Lightning animated by the engines of the Harley-Davidson Sportster enhanced, but the 1125 CR is much more effective and powerful, but for many fans of the brand in Milwaukee the charm of the sisters has no small price . To watch her closely, look at a single stroke motorcycle, minimalist, well-finished and, of course, look aggressive. By taking the controls was not the beast it seems that much. The seat height is a very accessible even for pilots of small stature, his soft is really comfortable after the passage of kilometers and the driving position without being tourism, is quite comfortable despite the stirrups high and something retarded ... That if 1125 CR circle with a handlebar height. If you do it with a second handlebar called 'Clubman' (Spain Buell gives a choice to buy any of them), you'll need a motorcycle visually more aggressive, very much in the style of Cafe Racer middle of last century, but less convenient travel especially considering citizens, because the neck is suffering more than we wanted. The truth is that this detail is the only one not convinced by the new model, and everything else shines at high altitude. Well, visibility and ease to guide correctly mirrors can be improved, but nothing is perfect ... Circulating at very low speed and stopped at the address perceived something heavy, which contrasts with the lightness of the entire proceeds of its 170 kg declared void. But this feeling will disappear as we increase the pace, becoming more and more agile. So much so that even if you squeeze the gas in a straight line feel like the front wheel starts to take off slightly from the floor in the first three speeds. It is also true that this is partly due to the soft setting of the suspensions in its series, as the rear shock is sinking more than we wanted. Nothing that can not be improved through that is completely adjustable. Blunt The purr of a propeller-cylinder V-72 is seen at all times, but not bothered in the slightest. Moreover, transmitting vibrations are minimal, in part because of its three axes of balance. On the other hand, benefits from the small improvements made at the 1125 R, consisting mainly of a new curve on and tinkering with the injection to reduce consumption. Circulating a low speed in city or highway, the feel of the CR 1125 is welcome, although some heat off due to the location of the lateral radiators and electrical fans. The clutch soft no fatigue, change, if somewhat noisy, and it must not fail the changing speeds, the feel of the suspensions is very nice, and the motor turns round to virtually any range of revolutions. Below 3,000 rpm is not going round a hundred per cent, but nothing that really is objectionable. And from there it triggers always blunt and always full of torque. The truth is that with its 148 HP declared maximum apparently enjoys an excellent performance and respond aggressively if so required, as is expected of a true Streetfighter. Sure that after passing through our Technical Center is certified as happened with his sister fairing, remember that reached 250 km / hr speed limit, and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 s. Fácil Easy In city and highway, a tranquil pace or giving "some vidilla ', the 1125 CR does not stick, is noble, easy to get in front curve and the train actually Aplomado gives the driver a lot of confidence. The brake peripheral bitten by a huge eight-piston caliper provides a mordant touch and outstanding, while the rear wheel seems to be somewhat low, especially if you like compass in town apoyándote in it. And until we can read here ... Unfortunately as we stated at the beginning of the article, intermittent rain did not abandoned us throughout the test, not being able to draw many conclusions from the behavior of the cycle. However, if you stick to the 1125 R that we know well and with which it shares all its components, will not disappoint anyone. In short, the CR 1125 will be an excellent alternative within the 'Streetfighter' by price, performance and sporting character. Soon, very soon we will have the opportunity to contrast these views on dry land, hopefully, when I get our hands a unit of evidence. |
