I now have owned a total of 4 Buells. First one was a 2005 XB9SX Hero blue it was a fun bike but I had the Harley itch and traded for a sportster. That was a mistake and soon after I bought an 2009 XB12SS and that was a nice upgrade. I had that one for about 3 years and got talked into buying a Fatboy. That was a nice bike too but that urge hit me to get back on the buell (note i do regret ever selling the XB12SS). I bought a XB12X (from eBay that was a mistake) and quickly realized I was to short for that. Luckily I was able to sell it for a profit and bought a practically new 1997 triumph speed triple. I kept that for a year and found a 1125CR on craigslist that looked like a good deal. After conversing with the owner and his assurances it was a really good bike I rented a trailer and drove 350 miles to get it. Once i saw it I realized I was fooled. I figured he wouldn't come down on the price since it need too much work and I wasn't willing to pay what he wanted. Luckily I remembered one I saw for sale in the same area on craigslist, and to my surprise he still had it so i quickly headed to that one. It was love at first sight with this bike. So I got that one and hauled it home. I have exchanged the bars already from his set up, firebolt bars to Renthal bars. it fits me good and i like the way it looks. Just thought id share my story.
update: I forgot to say I purchased an 2009 XB9SX not the CR
