Well, MSRP is $12,499. For the longest time I was seeing '08s for $8,999. Wonder which year is going for $5,999? They did have some significant changes for '09.

And if they did, they didn't understand how to make the bike perform. Bitching about things they know nothing about. Then some come in here with some holly then thou attitude. As if their bikes dont have downfalls, break downs, etc. No bike is perfect. The buells inspired passion and yes some level of cult type following. Why cult like following... cause they were different and had to constantly defend their standing. That type of life brings upon calluses and a ruff exterior towards people that go against their grain (which I admit may be against the normal grain).

I'm simply amazed at the ignorant on goings that some people spew from their mouths.

I for one went to the dealer today. Sat on a 1125. What a nice bike. Its freakin sad. I feel like a family member died. I picked up 2 buell shirts before they are all gone. Told the parts guys I want one of the buell signs for the garage.

At the end of the day. Its simply typicall of a primarly sportbike site. Dis the non-rice bike. What the fuck ever.

Are you not aware that this is an Internet forum, and all that that entails?

XR1200 racing strikes me as very close to NASCAR for motorcycles...

DMG has completely ruined AMA.

I kind of like the looks of this bike, would have to see it in person and sit on it at the very least to know if I truly like it.

It is sad that they have to close and people have to lose their jobs.

#1 9k isint high? sure you were on the right bike?
#2 the argument was whether the 1130 could cut it as a sportsbike motor. and considering its overall weight, internals weight, and output thats a big fat no. even erik said so.
