Default 2011 Buell 1125RR

Chain drive, significantly lighter, better fairings, more power, and almost looks like a duc. I wonder if they still would of let it run in the 600 class.

Guess we won't see it though, unless it's rebadged Harley.

Several Buell riders who attended the “last ride to the factory” at Buell’s facilities in East Troy, WI last month were told this bike was basically ready to go into production, and a race variant was in the works for WSB competition. What’s nuts is that HD killed the company at this point, and moreover has stated that they will not sell Buell Motorcycle Company and that that decision “cannot be reversed”. What? If my balance sheet looked like they say theirs does, I think I’d be willing to consider all offers. SOMEBODY needs to build this bike.

if thats true im pissed. gotta hope some outside investor can pry enough money under HDs nose to get em loose

truth. I'm not a fan of that bike, but Buell was really starting to come into it's own.

stupid HD.

Wonder how much better off they'd be if it came out 10 years earlier?

Good thought. Guess we'll see at the end of the month when they release the pic. It's entirely possible. That was rumored to be a 1199cc 200hp version of the current 1125R.
