I posted this over in QB, but for those here, here ya go again... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey folks- of all things I'd expect to see at MC daily, here this one pops up: http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2012/04/cool-buell- mods-fall-victim-to-corporate-caprice/ Very cool story! In fact, I had the honor of selling this particular bike to Rex- he had some cool plans to execute, as evidenced in the piece and in the pics. He's a cool old dude, I've always enjoyed his products (still use his winter gloves to this day)... FWIW, I've only seen this bike once when it was on display at Smoky Mountain- my buds there said that with that pipe, it sounded wicked! Fun stuff! | ||

I've been riding this beast around for the last few days. Some people think it's beautiful, but a greater number of people think it's ugly. That's the thing with designing a bike like this. It evokes emotions at both ends of the scale. I can tell you that it is a head turner. I've had a few people go out of there way to catch up to me and see what the heck it is. Even in stock form, these 1125R's weren't that common around here. I rode it to my local Vintage Club bike night for a meeting, and had a lot of fun with the comments it gets. Wow, sexy. - Hideous - What the heck is it? - Is that Batman's bike? - Is that a concept? - Why is it so loud? - Wow that sounds great! Comments were all over the map. |
