Having sold my Ducati ST4S back in November I've been bikeless and looking for something to meet my two wheel needs. I found the deep deals on '08 1125Rs and one test ride back on the 3rd was all it took. My local dealer wouldn't (or couldn't) match the prices elsewhere, so tomorrow morning I fly to Dayton and pick up my new Black Beauty! Thanks for all the great info on this board! Because of you all I feel I picked the bike with a good build date, got all the recalls done, and the 05Z flash as well. Hopefully I can go ride with some of you!

Enjoy the Buell and you'll find a wealth of knowledge here. Ride safe, lean much and smile more, Court   Ccryder Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 09:58 pm:        Paul: Great to have you aboard!!! Welcome to the collective. If you need some more suggestions, we may have one or two ;+} Time2Ride Neil S.   Ibppjr Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 03:48 pm:        She's home! Amazing bike. BEGS to be on twisty roads, not a freeway bike. Averaged 38 mpg on the 690 miles home. Probably had 50-75 miles in the rain too, guess I had to baptize her!   Doerman Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 03:53 pm:        Congrats! I love the pic in front of the seed place.   Ibppjr Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 08:48 am:        Thanks. I found the nice backdrop in Winchester, Kentucky.   Court Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 09:14 am:        Very cool . . . and ANOTHER pilot to boot! What is it with Buells? Welcome aboard !   Bman12r Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 12:18 pm:        Congrats also on the very smart purchase! Sounds like you had a good ride home. What dealer did you purchase from? Do you live near the mountains in Ga? My 08 is a June build. Don't remember the serial number offhand. Good Luck and Ride Safe!   Ibppjr Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 03:41 pm:        Purchased at F & S HD in Dayton. I'm about 1 1/2 hours south of the mountains, but have a lot of twisty roads heading west from where I live. I prefer the mountains because it's COOLER there!   Luisemilio25r Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 03:46 pm:        Take that baby back to the dealer and have them change that clutch cover and while you are there have them run your VIN. I thought they would deliver the bike with all the available updates. Congrats!   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009 - 09:09 pm:        Sounds very up-to-date to me. The bike has the latest recall, the front brake line, done. It's cool to see what Loretta looked like in the beginning. Enjoy the bike, mine is the best ride I've ever owned. You will be amazed how far you can lean this bike and not fall down. Zack
