Was at the dealership today they have a herd of 08s left and 2 new 09s. the 09s are priced at about $1500 more then the 08s is the 09 worth $1500 more then the 08s? which color is faster -) red or white? They have no black ones left. | ||

I thought '08's were only available in black. What prices are they quoting you for each year? Thanks | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
Well if they have 08's then they are probably black... But THE WHITE ONES ARE THE FASTEST....just like lightning  hahahaha Jake Seriously though...whites the fastest | ||
| Mrbikle |
white is faster. also whats price of each model years... I got my 08 for $8900 3 months ago to give you an idea. | ||
| Carbonbigfoot |
White is faster. But Red handles better.  R | ||

Once you go black, you never go back. | ||

They are asking 9999 CDN for 08 (listed 12999) 11500 for 09 (listed 15,999) But they did say they would most likely drop the PDI ($980) as they werent selling at all. So white is the new black eh? I know black adds a good 10hp so white must truely rocket. (Message edited by ratgin on September 03, 2009) | ||

I gave a scientific verification awhile back as to why the white ones are faster.  | ||
| Ratgin |
Ok so if i buy a white one will my black harley jacket clash? Will i need to ditch my black boots and buy blue boots and a white helmet to accessorize properly? | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
Ratgin, You'l be fine, because of the brutal ferocity of the white, it will simultaneous change your gear as you hit warp speed, which is a white only feature . And for the savings of the 08' you could always change it to white...like i did lol.. Jake | ||
| Badlionsfan |
For $1500 I'd go 09 just cuz I really dig the white and blue colors. | ||
| Jpowell490 |
Agreed, pay the 1500 more and go for the 09 | ||

Loretta is Black and Blue. She is the SHIZ. Spend what you want, BLACK(08) IS THE BEST. Z (Message edited by zac4mac on September 04, 2009) | ||

The black and blue bikes will always out class the rest! | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
The reason they're black and blue is because of them gettin wooped on by the white and blue(08's) hahaha Jake | ||
| Badlionsfan |
These color arguments are effin retarded. | ||
| Smoke4ndmears |
if i could do it over i would NOT NOT NOT have bought the 08. too many warranty issues. the bike has been in the shop more than it's been under my @$$ at this point. | ||

Ratgin, You have to consider a white one will get lost in the snow drifts of Petawawa! I bought my 08 Monday. Her name is "Pearl". I went with the good deal and chose to save a few bucks with the 08. I would never notice the riding difference between an 08 and 09. I ride as far east as Renfrew County Ratgin. Maybe we could meet in Foymount for tea some time? X. | ||
| Ratgin |
Xodot Hwy 41 is one of my favorite rides, Kaladar threw Bon Echo out to Renfrew Nice road nice views. Im older and wiser (aka slower) so i need to pick a fast color to give the illusion of speed. Black or White are leading the pack at this point. Red appearently is only good in the twisties. | ||

I hate to disappoint everyone, but it has been PROVEN that the black '08's are the fastest. Wfo_rey - Black '08 @ the Texas Mile Buelltech6 - Black '08 & sub 10 sec timeslips Jerseythunder - Black '08 & working on winning his class this year Now don't feel bad, the White '09's do look nice, no argument there. They just can't keep up with the Black '08's.  | ||
| Ratgin |
Im admittedly old and slow. Remember it is not how good you do it, its how good you look while you do it. | ||
| Chadhargis |
Humm...I think it IS how good you do it, regardless of how you look. Oh wait, are we still talking about motorcycles? | ||
| Xodot |
Ratgin, I have traversed that area west to east - Bancroft to Calabougie on Centenial Lake Rd. A little rough in spots but quite technical. Now that you've suggested south to north as well I'll have to jump onto 41 and give that a spin next time I'm out that far. So many roads so short a season. X.  | ||
| Ratgin |
Xodot 508 (Centenial Lake Rd)is considered the sport bike road in that area with 511 right behind it. Both are nice rides. Hwy 41 is more laid back but a nice ride on good roads. Avoid 509 and 506 as the roads are really in rough shape. | ||

The 08 come with the awesome 25th anniversary Black and Blue paint scheme and the 25th anniversary badge with Mr.Buell's signature on the steering head. All the Issues have already been resolved too. Nough said Yo. | ||
| Ratgin |
Well went to the dealer and after i stopped laughing at their trade in offer for my 09 Nightster. I walked away and will go visit them next year when they still have the same amount of 08 and 09 1125r's with additional 2010s. My math must be off because the sign said 11,500 and the blue book said 9k and they wanted 4500 difference. not very impressed with their honesty atm.

All the Issues have already been resolved too. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA My 2008 1125 is in the shop for the 7th time as I type! Quit lying.} | ||

Clark, then it sounds like your bike is a lemon. I know the 2008's have had some issues, heck even the 2009 models have seen clutch weep and stator issues. Now...got to any other forum. Gixxers, SV, R1, CBR1000, etc.....and start reading. They will all have post after post of people who have issues with their bike and how to correct those issues. Heck, I used to ride BMWs and the forums were full of issues. The big difference is when you took it to the dealer, 9 times out of 10 they'd look at you and say, "There's nothing we can do about it" or "It's supposed to do that". My 1125 is the only bike I've ever owned that I haven't had to put a PowerCommand and an aftermarket exhaust to make run right. It's a beast! A fantastic bike. Sorry you're having issues with yours, but the old saying "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch" doesn't apply to manufacturing. | ||

Nearly ALL the issues common on the 2008s are known with a fix in hand. If your bike has an issue, there is already a knowledge base available with a fix kit to be had overnight. We've got really good deals on 08s and 09s. We'd be happy to hook you up either way. | ||
| Jpowell490 |
After my initial issues (Known 2008 Issues) I haven't had any other problems (<--knocks on wood) so I think you would be ok with the 08. If I had the opportunity to buy the 09 over the 08 for not much less, then go with the 09 just to be safe. I love my 08, but with that being said, it might fall apart tomorrow, just something you never know. But as it stands it is a beast and I get pure enjoyment every time I swing a leg over it. BUY IT! Hit Jeremy up (FT_Bstrd) I am sure they still have a few they will put you on for a great price. |
