hey guys if you are like me, your nickname is "the Buell guy" at your local hangout or gatherings, because of the uniqueness and exclusiveness of Buell ownership. No one knows anyone as the gixxer guy or the R1 guy, because no one would know who you are talking about. well, with this new bike and the publicity and sales it will bring, we will probably all need new nicknames now. |

I hope they still call me the "Buell Guy", because I believe in the Buell philosophy. It amazes me how much of the XB they left in the 1125. They stuck with the things that worked well, and ditched or improved what didn't. |

Chad, what i am saying is more than likely there will be a lot more Buell owners/riders in the future and you won't stand out anymore as "the Buell guy", because there will be several Buell guys instead of just you. |

Brad... I hope that those "buell haters" stay buell haters so the good bikes are left for us. Although I think you are right and there will be an influx of Newbuellers. I am amazzed at how quiet it was kept until recently.... speak of the dirtbike and such but never did i stumble onto anything this exciting!!! |

I have been looking al over the web @ other boards. Looks like the haters are nutting in their pants over the 1125R. The factory in east troy is getting a big upgrade ASAP. We are going to be in for a BIG influx. The brand is growing very fast, and you cant even buy the bike yet. Im known as the "Mohawk guy with the funny bike" As long as I keep the Mohawk it looks like I will just be "Mohawk guy with that really old and slo Buell" |

Sure...just as I started growing fond of being snickered at as "Buell Man." :P For my sake I hope to hell that they get the factory part numbers out in time...last year Harley shops didn't get their manuals until 2 months after the new models came in. |

How about "that fast old guy" on the small ""black and blue twin"? |
