Bought my CR based on the price. I wanted a more upright bike since I already had a sport bike with my 999R Ducati. The bike has proven to be fun and very capable. It did experience a blown water pump recently, that was taken care of under warranty. I took her out a couple weeks ago on an overnight group ride and she performed like a champ. I went in tow behind a Ducati 998 showing me the lines of a well known twisty road in Nor Cal. The bike handled like it was on a rail. |

I wanted a Buell when I decided to get back on a bike 3 years ago. I settled for the SV650s that I could afford, though. Last fall when I heard about the discount I bought the CR. Riding it home I thought I died and went to Valhalla. I didn't want to dismount when I put it in my garage. Even now, sometimes I wish I could roll it into my living room and balance the keyboard on the gas cap. After I broke it in, it pulls so hard I can feel it compressing my eyeballs. What a machine! Go USA! I just hope it won't give me problems like so many bikes written about here give people. |

I like my XB9R better. I'm thinking of selling my 1125R. Great bike, but just not as fun as my Niner. |

Hey Barker, I think you would have liked the CR better if you like your 9er....
similar bikes, only the CR has almost twice the RPM range and accelerates faster.
I love mine, even more so with the Erik Buell Racing ECM and Keda RT-3. Everywhere I go people drool over it. |

I think I still need to work out the suspension and get rid of this giant baluga whale faring.
