I would like to demo it.  See how it compares to the evo engines.  The exhaust sounds good though!

I can't find any info on this bike.  What engine can they get a 10,500 rpm redline out of?

I had a pow-wow with my Local Buell dealer a few weeks ago.  I have been assured I get the first one they receive!

Noooo.  I'm calling Bullshit.  That's just wayyyyyy too damn cool to be possible.  An 1125cc 6-speed 145hp motor - that's a ground up rebuild.  Can't be just a sleaved 1200 motor.

And a 5.6 Gallon in-frame tank.  

Where's the fookin' droolie guy.

Drool Drool Drool Drool Drool

I'm sorry - it just doesn't exist without real pictures.

My wallet just beat a little quicker.  Damn.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  No way...I'm in.  Where do I sign?  One problem...in one of the shots it looked like there was that huge scoop on the side to get air to the rear cylinder...this one had better be water cooled to cope with all those ponies!

NEED. MORE. INFO.

Price? Availability? Ergo info?

As much as I like it, I think the Ninja bike is doomed. Too many interesting bikes about to not get a new ride... This new Buell may have just moved to the top of the list...

WOW!!!!!

Can't wait....!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting...I read off badweatherbikers that it's a 72 degree v twin. Doubt it's a Rotax engine as aren't those 80 degree? Can't wait to get the details.

It's a Rotax, built for Buell. Liquid cooled.  I think the 145hp is crank, not rw.

Holly crap.   EEK!  A Buell without some old Harley V-twin engine!!  The 1125r looks like it could be a winner.

Very, very interesting. It looks they stole the front fairing from a Ducati. Smile  Somebody I know is currently bikeless. Is it just me or could Honda take a cue from Buell and Triumph.

If that video is accurate, the 1125R has the ability to steal more than a few sales from some of the big guns.  C'mon Buell...lets see some pictures!!!
