I have an 08, and I don't worry.

I see your point about possible concern, but you're not having any prob's, and the engine is IMHO the least thing I'd worry about on these bikes. The ECM & electronics worry me a little, but no prob's so not really. I got an EBR ECM and it hums smooth as silk now, $250 upgrade well worth it.

Hec I just did a complete swingarm swap with CR to get the gearing I want, so I'm set. I hate dealing with prob's myself, work hard & play hard, but not deal with prob's when I want to play. But I don't worry about the bike, I really think they're solid.

If you go by posts, there's always an exageration feeling on the inet about prob's, as people with prob's post for ranting & help, the thousands without a prob, don't. If you go to other bike forums you can find tons of traffic on prob's, all bikes have lemons, but I think the 1125, and Buell in general, has had very solid stuff, few exceptions.

Now, hopefully I didn't just jinx both of us.

Well I was on your side for the most part and accepted that you were tired and posted because of that...then I find the exact same post on the "other" buell forum.

Using my own advice of "words mean something"...You Sir are a troll of trolls!

I don't like you, I don't like you're kind...and if I see you on the side of the road pushing a bike with a blown motor I will give you the tall boy!

Good day sir!

I worry about stuff every day. My Rotax engine is not one of the things I worry about. I recently went to some automotive drivability classes, if you own a Ford Triton powered truck I would worry about that instead.

Someday, a meteor could hit your house. So you better sell your house.

2. Don't be a pussy.

If it wasn't for internet anonymity, most of the idiotic questions would not be asked either...it's a two way street.

Maybe Its just a bike, Maybe I'm a douche bag, I am by the way. Maybe I've heard and read bad things about this board but kept an open mind and got it shoved in my ass. And, yes I would say any and all of this in person. I am the troll(whatever the hell that means) but look at all of the sh^&ty, f@##ed up responses I got. What are you guys? Its just a bike, ultimately who gives a shit, I would say I was sorry, but I'm not. Go f@#k your selves and if you can't do it because of your small dicks maybe I can find some one to help you with that. You ass bags just want to argue and mess with people. Insult me, beat me, make me feel cheap, you big mean men, I'm so scared please don't hurt me. I hope to grow up and be just like you some day. Keep posting your life lessons so I know how to really live my life. And, just to remind You I am a douche bag and I do say things other people don't like, grow up you whiny bitches. Any how, hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks again

fyi, a troll is someone that comes on forums to stir up trouble, act like an idiot, and not contribute anything to the forum.

You come on to a forum where everyone owns the same bike as you, call it a pos, and then get pissed off when people question you.

This bike is an amazing piece of engineering, but if you don't like it, then sell it.

Hard to believe this guy was born in 1965. Oh well. Proof positive there are 40 something guys with 10 year old mentalities. Dude needs to grow up.

The problem started in the middle of his opening statement.
Engine failure blah, blah, blah, piece of sh##.
I am sure that anyone with experience would have gladly talked about current failures that have happened.
But then he had to go and use that little word and the hammer got dropped on him.

Hmmmmmm,

Well Skizzy, , normally when someone calls me an, as you say, "...whiney bitch...", my first instinct would be to make him preface that with a "Mr." But I'm a forgive and forget kind of guy. (However, I think Fresnobuell makes a fine point.) That said. I am not aware of anybody anywhere who has ever "blown" an 1125, major lip burns not being an issue. I think Froggy should allow him to continue to post, as I would like to know what made him think that a Buell 1125 was susceptible to exploding. All humor aside...where did he come up with that? I think that at the Dark Dog last year, Pike's peak, and at the AMA, ruggedness and reliability were real Buell hallmarks.

Fresnobuell, it is a two way street but i still believe people would be asking dumb questions face to face. unlike people giving the hard ass responses they would not be giving face to face. both are pathetic to be honest
