Re: Buell 1125R
Interesting design, there are a couple of features that seem worth mentioning.
1) 61mm throttle bodies - that seems quite big. 2) Engine not designed by HD but built in partnership with Rotax, 140ish bhp at 9000 rpm. Has finger follower (look like tiny rocker arms) valve actuators, from the diagram looks to be a longish way of doing it (height wise) rather than bucket/shim, any know of specific advantages of doing it like this? 3) Styling OK, nothing hugely special though. 4) Rest of bike appears to be using technology that was seen in my ZX6R (circa 2000).

Re: Buell 1125R
Butt ugly!
Shame, I was hoping for an angular sleek design, not an obese US tourist on vacation! Gah! Probably handles well though. |

Re: Buell 1125R
Ugly? It's a bit oddly proportioned at the front, but from a few angles.....
Certainly wouldn't put me off. |

Re: Buell 1125R
I'd steer clear of it as it appears to have mumps.

Re: Buell 1125R
Have you seen the power charts? The torque curve is as near as dammit flat from 4.5K to 10.5K!
