1125s?

[dmp0001]

just a thought but buell rolled out the xb9s about a year after the xb9r...140hp naked bike from Buell, YES PLEASE!

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

I would forsee something along those lines..

 

[mrdozer2you]

I sure hope they fix the ugly air intake/radiator covers [down]

 

[dmp0001]

I have yet to see one in person but I cant see the same radiators working on the naked model

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Well what else are they supposed to do with them....[confused]

 

[mrdozer2you]

Put it in the front like on a Triumph, or Ducati. Or integrate it into the frame like the fuel tank...now that would be sweet

 

[dmp0001]

they could put it under the seat

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

I dont think they are that bad

 

[His_and_Her_Buells]

I thought they were ugly at first but they're growing on me. Plus they do their job much better than front mounted rads. I'll always prefer function over form.

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Exactly, plus once you see them in person, you will probably change your mind.

 

[dmp0001]

I'm still waiting, when are they supposed to get here?

i give up on the 1125r I'm going to build the xb12s bad as hell!!!!!!!!!

The new 1125r looks pretty good if you like the Yamaha R1/R6??? It doesn't look as unique IMO. I'm a big naked sport bike fan and I look forward to the new 1125s. I like the XB12r just the way it is, we don't need American sport bikes to migrate towards foreign designs.

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

How does it look like a Jap bike? It has the same tail as the XB12R. They basically swapped the motor, slapped some radiators on the side, invented a more functional fairing, and called it good. It kept the Buell look as much as it possibly could due to the changes. Come on guys, they didnt even change the wheels....

 

[dmp0001]

I wish someone would design some wheels that would allow you to keep your front brake and still get a custom look

 

[06xb9r]

The headlights look a little jap

 

[shortyxb12r]

they don't even look like a buell. saw one last week at the dealership kinda different,looks,sound and body lines

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Well, a company cant survive in the motorcycle industry if all it did was the same **** over and over and over.

i just test drove an 1125R yesterday. it was interesting but it sounds weak. does anyone know if anyone (jardine, etc) makes pipes for it yet? i haven't seen anything...

probably not...they will probably wait and see how they sell first so they can cover production costs.
