I have a 06 1000rr and I'm looking to get this bike. The only thing I know is it has 146hp

i'm looking for a picture of the power graph, but can't find any...i can't place a flash-graph here [sad]

all i can say is that the the torque is great and almost flat.
but the graph only starts from 4000rpm, so i don't know below that.
but 84lb-ft (111nm) from 4000/4500rpm till redline is not at all bad (to say the least)
and you can easily get more out of that engine...

This is what I wanted to ask someone about, My dad has an 06 z06 corvette and he just changed the cams, headers and a computer it became sooo much more powerfull. Its like a diffrent car now.

Will this bike be like this too? because I will probably put an exhaust, chip and cams in it.

How much power do u you think it will make then?

Once the aftermarket figures it out, if Buell doesn't offer the speed parts first, I'd figure an easy 10%.

I am guessing you wont even need to get that far into it to get quite a bit of power out of it. They are speculating that just simple mods like airbox, EFI Tuner, and exhaust will wake this thing up greatly.

I will be buying one in about a year, (When I am finished with school) and am glad that Buell finaly has something that will not get eaten by a 600. I am sure that BuellPartsGuy will agree with me on the subject of needing a liquid cooled bike down here in AZ. After sitting in traffic for about 30 min. My bike pings and knocks like you wouldn't believe! Anybody want to buy a 03 XB9R?

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

True that, azsnow, true that

from experiance with rotax you can see great increase in power...if i was to guess i would say that 170hp is manageable within a decent budget.

LOL at all of ya'll. I'm thinking the 1125cr and then some go fast parts when they come out, just to see the look on the gxr/r1/cbr guys faces when I rip past em on a straight road...

I hate the upper cowl. It just kills the whole look of the bike to me. But I LOVE The exhaust, has to be one of the best looking exhausts ever. I seen a photo shopped pic of the 1125 with a Firebolt upper cowl, and photoshopped lower fairings and I honestly think that was the best looking buell I ever seen.

[FIDOSOL]

That does look pretty good. I'm not a big fan of the Firebolts. I'm all about being as naked as possible, all the time. But I'd take the 1125/firebolt hybrid thingy over any other rice styled bike out there.

Morning all!. I recently had a test ride on a couple of Buells. In had gone into my local Harley/Buell shop to look at a Lightning. I wanted to see if the more upright position would help my aching wrists. The only models that they had for demo were a Ulysses and an 1125r. I rode both and loved it. I'm trying to figure out how to get both in my garage! I must say the 1125r's looks are growing on me. At first I thought the were Butt ugly, but after looking at them more closely I really like them. The pics posted on this site are awesome! I was really impressed with the performance of the 1125R. The shifter was a little bit clumsy feeling, but once I got used to it, it seems to work pretty well. I didn't really get to try any clutchless shifts though. I really didn't notice any major heat issues. It was a little cool but not cold that day.The ergonomics were much better than my Duc. I also ride a softtail too which is very comfortable but SLOW!!! As soon as I can sell the softtail I think I'm going to head on over to the Buell dealership. What kind of long term issues are you guys experiencing? THanks. Ride safe.

They've got all the '08 1125R left-over's goin' for $9999 @ Central Texas Harley Davidson here in Austin, Texas.

Be the envy of all yer Bueller friends!

the seat should be hard
and riding it should make you $hit your pants every now and then.

I took out the 1125R a couple days ago,it was in the 80`s.This is my concern about the 1125 It was so hot,my legs and my butt was scorching.It was a hot humid day for sure,but my xb12 felt more comfy than the 1125.Another thing is you have to keep up the rpm because under 4000 just not right.Over 4000 this is a rocket launcher.Blink of an eye an you going 100.

 

[veeemdoubleu]

Love my firebolt, 1125R is fugly, the duc 1098 is damn near perfect in design. one word SEXYYYY

 

[horseplay]

I was convinced the 1125R was ugly...the CR I liked a little more. Until I saw one the other day slightly modded. Bar ends...windscreen...fender delete and maybe some other things I couldnt pick out. VERY VERY sweet looking bike. Little appearance things in this bike make a BIG difference
