The New Buell 1125R, fast, handles great. Must treat with respect!

That's a mean machine

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

1125r is geared to top at 170 redline. Race ECM bumps that about 5 MPH. The CR is geared lower at the sprockets for more torque and tops out at around 163.

I have been looking at this bike for the last 2 1/2 years. No one can tell me the top speed or whats the diff between the 1125r and its brother 1125cr. Can you please shed some light on the subject. This bike is my only hope of having an American crouch rocket that can hang with my friend & family on their busas and ZXs. I dont plan to race, but at least try to keep up. otherwise I will be going the italian route. I love jap bikes too but I wanted something different, ya know?! thanks

@shinshenx The top speed of the bike can be adjusted with the computer setup. When I first got it. It could get up to 175 or so. Then I got this update. and took it down to 165. however, low speed riding is a lot smoother in city. The bike has tons of power at lower RPM.  can Clutch out No gas and go 11 mph. Get up and go really fast. Top end is lacking just a bit. The difference between 1125r and the CR is just looks I think. 1125R is more spotty of course. Check out my other videos.

theres an 08 1125r on ebay for a buy it now $5699.00 but I am afraid to buy it and have it break. my insticts are telling me this bike is just to new and not really road tested for years. does anyone know if these bikes hold up? I have had a 99 road king that never broke down and a zx11 that never had a single issue so if I buy a buell and it falls apart I will kick myself for not listening to my insticts.

@jerseyassasin1975. K. So, I have about 8000 miles on mine so far. Nothing is wrong with it. Its a fast n great handle bike. Pro is light, comfortable to ride, lots of power. Con is bike could get a bit hot in summer. N does not come with steering damper. After market parts could be a bit hard to find. Since its new. Feel free to ask anything else.

Vgood guys amazing all comments are from buell lovers. I have 09 Cr it's amazing bike to ride with stunts handle bar. Buell will never die. it will come back soon.

[lightspeedscanning]

Just got the same bike! The V-twin has a ton of power at any rpm.

[jacklyw]

yes sir, it does. It's so different from other JAPs bikes. Put a few thousands miles on it before, you start to "mess with it". Have fun, be safe.  Welcome to the BUELL family.

[lightspeedscanning]

You got it bro. Always ride safe.

[jacklyw]

did you get the full black one, like mine. Or you got the white and blue one?

[lightspeedscanning]

My 25R is just like yours...Midnight Black with the Diamond Blue frame. My personal favorite of the Buell color combos.  No mods, but will soon get the 2010 L.E.D. tail light.

[tfhorth]

Good vid man :) Glad you like the bike.  I just put down a deposit on a red 09. Should be fuuuun.

[fullthrottle2008]

I have just ordered one of these too! I went for the 2008 version as I like the blue frame.... very thrilling to ride, loads of character.

I have to wait 2.5 weeks though! It's killing me! So for now I have your video :-/

Thankyou!

[Jackassed1990]

There were a couple of changes for the 09. The slipper clutch cover was changed as a few of the 08 bikes had trouble with leaking oil from it. And the 09 has a gear selection indicator. Great bike tho.

[pbmax]

Pussy with a nice bike... rev the fucking thing u bike polisher.

[jacklyw]

Don't hate! Cause I cheated death once, (see my other video) so I've slow down a bit. BTW the bike was band new when the video was shot. It's broke in now.

[apiiinr]

I have this same bike, and if you rev it without keeping the clutch in, the engine shuts off to protect itself... hold in the clutch and ramp it up to redline.... niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccceeee. But then again, you're chewing up the engine before its time. And it DEMANDS respect from its rider. This thing will chew you up if you don't. Respect it, and she'll love you long time and reward you with lots of corner hugging miles.

[jacklyw]

yeah... I am still baby-ing it. Did you get a letter from Buell says the front brake line is too close to the front wheel.

[buell0364]

You said that you've ridden a lot of other jap bikes, how does the 1125r compare as far as getting off the line?

[jacklyw]

The Buell is the biggest bike I've ever ridden. So it's the fastest of the line. I still have not give it full gas, too scarey.

I had a zzr 600 by Kawi. A Honda 600 shadow, A ninja 250, honda 250 rebal (POS).

[buell0364]

Nice, thank you.

[RoaringEagle]

FYI: the 2009 HAS changed... new ECM mapping, white and red colours also available, and the frame is now black instead of blue; that being said, I just bought a 2008, got the ECM flashed and they have me a carbon full fairing as a bonus ;)

[orgomen]
