You are starting to see why there has been so much HD hate around here lately.

true nuff. If this turns out to be the case its time to start beating hd over the head with open checkbooks. Might see a street version yet. This also makes me wonder how much interaction there was between buell and the FIA because this bike, their fate, and FIA's new stricter homogolation rules are conspiratorially close together

I hadn't paid much attention, because honeslty, the HD dealer I bought my bike from, told me they sold 4 buell's in over a year. So I just thought HD was dropping some dead weight to stay afloat. I didnt realize they were just being fucking pricks!

If I wasnt already planning on trading for a Busa, this would be the final nail in the coffin.

I dont know anything about the FIA, the CIA, the FBI, or any of the others. But I do know if the rumors are true and this bike was a 200hp beast than it shoulda came out 2 years ago instead of the 1125R thats out there now. Sales might have been better and Buell might still be in business.

I found that most dealers that didn't move many Buells had self induced problems. They didn't advertise, or promote Buell at all, plain and simple. How many guys that are coming in to look at an Ultra Classic are going to see a 1125R and go "wow, screw the Ultra, I want THAT!"...

right, none.

Well what is it? I thought they were making money? Because if Buell was making $$$$, they are doing far better than HD is atm.


I just dont understand why those idiots would drop a brand that isnt in the red.

And I also dont know why they wont give Erik the rights and let him go elsewhere. That pisses me off the most.

good news is you can buy the goodies and change your mild mannered 1125R into a fire breathing 1125R thats street titled, when u factor in the dealer discounts and add the cost of the kit it is still well under the price range of most 200hp bikes

if they werent so tiny, I would LOVE to have an 1125r!

Arent they even smaller than yours?

Cuz if they are, theres no way i'd be anywhere near comfortable on it for any length of time.

Would be in my top to choices for a track bike though (If I had a track to go to), along with another rc, which is a fairly big bike.
