Buell 1125CR 2009 2010 First Ride

drove it by the local H-D dealer and i'm in love! The old firebold's are not that quick as this engine from Austria (read Aprilia) I join an competition to win one, so wish me luke!! The clubmanhandlebars are not nice, Buel sells a better stear like one a Aprilia Tuono,.I LOVE Buells and am glad to see this liquid cooled. I find the styling of this bike awesome....except the "bird-catcher" air scoops. Please, Buell, lose those, ridiculously large, air scoops With that 84 lb-ft of torque at your disposal getting the rear tire to break loose couldn't be any easier.MotorcycleUSA's Adam Waheed glides through a right-hander aboard the newest track weapon from Buell. While its rigid chassis lends itself well on a smooth, fast racetrack, on the often bumpy, cobblestone-laden roadways the entire bike - especially the rear end feels way too stiff. The Helicon 1125cc engine is extremely compact.
