Wasn't planning on buying anything, but decided to browse the local shop the other day and walked out with an 1125CR. Traded in my 2007 XB9Sx, lost some money, but it will be worth it in the end. Good thing I refinanced the house... | ||

Picked it up Saturday... Can't believe the power compared to my XB9. I had to stop riding so I can spend some time with the wife. The only thing I miss is my Pazzo Shorties. The power is so smooth, but low rpm is not the smoothest. It likes to go fast... | ||

What was the moon phase last friday???? I got Buell fever real bad and closed the deal on a red 1125cr last friday!! Power is awesome, but got to scrub those slick spots off of the new tires!! The first couple of hundred miles are tough- trying to keep it slow for break in. I ordered the handlebar kit. Clubman bars demand a more aggressive posture that my neck doesn't seem to like. I was able to ride all day on my cyclone (of blessed memory)so hopefully higher bars will fix that. | ||

"couldn't resist any longer" Resistance is futile. | ||

so hopefully higher bars will fix that. FWIW, I think you will be pleased... R | ||

I'm gonna install the bar kit as well . Not as fun to ride when your so uncomfortable ! In many ways I miss my xb12 , very smooth at highway speeds an just fun to ride . | ||

thats funny cuz i put clubmans on my lightning, and thats the reason why i want the cr..... | ||

True, I changed my XB9sx so much, I had Crossroads, tail chop, race exhaust, pazzo levers, but couldn't get it right. Now, I bought what I was trying to get from my XB with more power straight from the dealer (I am adding the tail tidy from Precision engineering, Pazzo Shorty Levers, and HMF exhast). | ||

From the styling perspective I would say the Buell team really pays close attention to the XB forums. They took most mods people were doing to their XBs and incorporated them into the CR. Aprrilla style mirrors, XBS / R tail swap, Clubman Bars, More aggressive Riding position, and more power... | ||

White ones are faster here in the UK because all the tins think I am a law man out to get them, I might even buy a white crash helmet and a green high vis jacket as worn by the UK plods |
