My new Buell 1125 CR

Kidder · 11-01-2009, 06:29 PM

Here's my new Buell 1125 CR. After Buell went under, Harley decided to offer $5000 to each dealership as an incentive for each Buell sold. So, I got a good deal on the bike. I had to go to Memphis to get it but my brother lives there so I got to visit family, too.

WHat's the tank/comfort range on these things?

DFW_Warrior · 11-01-2009, 07:50 PM

Absolutely. Let me break it in then you can give it a spin.

Very Nice!

Sucks being unemployed, I'd get me a Uly and the CR had I any way to pay for them.

Nice Bike

I think comfort range will change for me, but the ride from Kerrville back to Austin last weekend was enough for me. I have to admit though, this is the first sportbike I've ever owned, so being in the crouched position all the time doesn't feel natural to me. I also have the clubman bars on mine right now. I have the higher bars, which should help bring me up a bit and make riding a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately, the kit is back-ordered with no release date set by HD.

The range of the bike is around 150 miles or so. On par with my Ulysses.

My CR (affectionately known by my family as the lobster) after bringing her home:

Congrats! Wish I was stateside right now. Love to add a Uly to the stable.

Kidder · 11-02-2009, 09:20 AM

I could go an easy 150 on my 04 GSXR1000 and I find this bike more comfortable. Mine came with the high bars so I think that has a lot to do with it. I also hear Uly pegs will bolt on and are a bit lower. However, the pegs are okay for me right now. Next on the list is getting the suspension sorted.

Nice looking bike,

especially in the back of your truck, must have a HD bloodline

**Tracker** · 11-02-2009, 12:41 PM

Wayne, could you shoot/post a photo looking down from the rider's view? I'd like to see what the view's like from the pilot's viewpoint.
I really like the looks of it, lobster claws and all.

Oh man. I can't resist a hijack here. I went to high school in Wiesbaden, so when I saw the stateside comment and looked at your location, I nearly swooned. I lived in Bierstadt and went to school at Gen. H. H. Arnold High School (since renamed to Wiesbaden High School).

I used to bicycle all over the Taunus mountains and I would gladly trade a Uly for a chance to be riding where you are now. I remember some great rides around Niedernhausen and even better ones around Bad Schwalbach. Make the most of it my friend.

LOL! Good one, Graeme!

**wbrisett** · 11-02-2009, 08:19 PM

Oh the irony!!!

Today I got the December issue of Sport Rider magazine in. So what's there? A huge full page spread congratulating Danny Eslick on his 2009 Daytona Superbike championship from Geico (with a nice Buell logo in the upper right corner). Next irony? The very bike you and I just bought. A full shootout piece on the Buell 1125CR and the Ducati Streetfighter. Both testers gave the Buell the thumbs up over the Ducati! What? and this is the bike and brand HD killed? I'm telling ya, something is really wrong with a company, when it owns another that is just hitting its stride and then chopped down at the knees.

Of course the silver lining is we got ahold on one before it was too late.

Gary -- I'll have to see if I can get home before it gets too dark. That didn't happen today. Sorry.

For me its either look for another bike ('07 ninja 650r) or look for a house. Decisions decisions.
