Hi all, this is my first post here and would like to say thanks to all who contribute as the site which always proves to be really useful. Today i fitted the Twin Motorcycles Torque Hammer and ecm with K&N filter. Very pleased with the how easy the exhaust fitted. Sounds deep and evil and brings the bike to life. Power is very good and strong from low down and pulls like hell. Just right for street riding - pulls so strong from 3000rpm. Feels as strong as my X1 at low revs but just keeps on going with another 50bhp more at the wheel. Glad my bike has similar or more power than a Ducati Streetfighter! It accelerated quicker than a Yamaha R1 this afternoon. MUCH FUN! I think the bike magazines would be amazed if they tested a CR with this set up! As you can tell, i am very pleased i bought this combination! Dave  | ||

Welcome to BWB, welcome to Buell. I've got one in black and have been running the latest ECM for about 5 days. I've been VERY impressed too on my 08' 1125r. It pulls easily from 2,000rpm and waaaay hard from 4,000rpm. Just wait till you grab a handful around 5,500-6,000. HOLD ON TIGHT and lean over the bars. Once the front end comes up just ease off slowly. Enjoy yours, I've been loving mine! Later Neil S. | ||

Have fun Dave and Neil, Neil, let me know how the MPG improved. Wow, the MPG improves? Amazing! How much improvement can be expected? Nice photos, BTW, guys... | ||
| Easyrider |
Pariah, Neil has to tell us, because he also drove the stock ECM.. | ||

1st tank was 37mpg. Tomorrow will begin my SPRING riding season!! The 1st tank was in temps b/t 35 and 50, not the best for gas mileage. My 1125rt loves hotter weather better than cooler weather IMHO. Later Neil S. | ||

Ccryder, Oke, is the spring riding the dialy home-work-home route, ore the fun miles, hard on the throttle route, That makes a big difference in MPG. | ||
| Ccryder |
It will be the 140 mile round trip commute cruising the TN backroads at pretty much steady 60mph with 3-4 stop signs 2-4 passing excursions (waaay fun, just exercise the right hand and GOOOOOOOOOOO!) It could be boring except for the corners. Time2Gearup&Go Neil S. | ||

Oke Neil, Curious about the experience (-: | ||
| Ccryder |
The last two tanks netted me 37mpg. That's real gas mileage and not the IC estimated/ instant readout. That drive is 55-60 mph pretty steady throttle at 4500-5000 rpm. The ambient air temp (which I have found to be critical for mpg) has been 35-40F in the morning and 60-65F on the way home. I'd bet that when the temp goes up, I'm easily in the 40mpg+ region. Note: I still have some XXXmph excursions just to get my blood pressure up and open my eyes  This is getting to around the same MPG as the stock set up with more hp and tq. Time2Work Neil S. | ||

Looks and sounds GREAT !!!! | ||
| Pariah |
Hey, you're like me, an 1125 and a MINI Cooper occupying virtually the same space. Great sound, BTW. What I like about the Torque Hammer is that the essential sound of the stock 1125 is still detectable. A great performing exhaust that one can live with! | ||
| 19991200 |
Pariah - You have good eyes! | ||
| Ccryder |
Mine doesn't sound anything like that! J/K, the audio on that video does not do it justice! Neil S. | ||

Just returned from a 50 mile trip including some fast motorway work, kept between 3000 to 6000 rpm throughout and have averaged at 40mpg! Used the torque! The sound clip sounds good when played through separate speakers with good bass! | ||

19991200, It s Torque that moves us (-: You like it when coming out of the corner.. | ||
| 19991200 |
Easy, It's very good out of a corner and pulls so strong - feels as strong as my X1 at 3000 - 4000rpm! Especially with the much lighter weight of the bike! Dave | ||

Because of the online www.fuelsolutions.nl solutions we lowered the Badweb groupbuy price to 870,00 dollar for a exhaust and a tune, including the shipping to everywhere in the USA and CANADA. http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/index.asp | ||

I have Twinmotorcycles ECM and Torquehammer exhaust rode 600 miles at the weekend (1000 kilometers)......average was 42 MPG (UK gallons) | ||
| Easyrider |
Trafford, What about it compared to your setup you where driving before You like it, DON'T forget to reset the TPS every time before you start the bike please... |
