I went to Harley to get my XB12R of for maint and while I was waiting I went over to look at the new 1125R. One of the sales guys walked up and said "you wanna take it for a spin?" I am not one to turn down a free ride so I did. and my god this thing is wicked. I must have rode it for 40 minutes and didnt even realize it. When I finally did get back I had to have it! So I bought one that was still in the box in the back and picked it up Sat afternoon. Here it is.

The Buell 1125R is a sportbike manufactured by Buell Motorcycle Company in the United States. It was introduced in July, 2007 for the 2008 model year.
It is powered by a 1125 cc Helicon V-twin engine produced by Rotax (or BRP-Rotax) of Austria. This liquid-cooled engine has a V angle of 72 degrees and produces a reported 146 hp (109 kW), with a maximum rpm limit of 10,500.[1]
The 72 degree included angle in this engine is a change from previous V-twins from this manufacturer which are 90° (Ducati, Suzuki, Aprilia) or 60° (Aprilia, Can-Am), or 45° (Harley-Davidson Evolution) engines. VOXAN is also using 72° V-twins.

That thing is a rocket ship and a blast to ride. It handles like it is on rails too. Thanks for letting me take it on a ride Duncan. Buells are top notch!
