Buell 1125R
Buell's First Water Cooled Sportsbike
Buell 1125R, say hello to the first water cooled bike from Buell Motorcycles.
from motorcyclingmag
"Priced more in line with the Japanese than the Italians, and with fantastic performance and handling, the American 1125R is worth a serious look. This bike is equally at home on the streets, comfortable enough for commuting, and track-oriented enough to win pro races. Thanks to Erik and company, America is squarely delivering on the world-class sport-bike promise."
from motobyte
"While I was droning down the freeway to get to the good roads, I was happy to find my first impression of finish and quality were all there in the ride. The adjustable suspension was set spot-on for me. The ergonomics, while full-on sport bike, are on the humane side. Everything seemed like it was in the right place and was doing a very good job."

"Buell 1125r. Externally, there's no getting away from the fact that this is a Buell. The rim mounted front brake disc, the belt drive, the wide, deep frame holding the fuel tank, all the cues are there. Obviously, there are some radical departures from the norm as well. There's a pair of radiators for a start, which obviously haven't been a requirement before. And the fairing is much wider and more substantial than we've seen on Buells in the past, partly to accomodate the radiators. But the back end is pure Buell, with the little oval rear light, the cut away rear mudguard and the short tailpiece all being pretty much standard fare. It's a good looking bike, but not in a conventional sense. There are some really neat touches too - the frame, rather than the usual black or silver, is a rather nice blue. The lights are widely spaced and extremely effective, with both sides providing separate dip and high beam lights instead of That back end really is pure Buell, isn't it...the more normal single bulb in each side, and the mirrors are widely spaced and work reasonably well."
