Buell 1125R with FMF APEX Exhaust. 720p HD

[bykabuki]

Great sound :-D

[NemesisDK79]

Hope it rides well. I think it looks and sounds like one of the cheap Korean/Chinese bikes.

[sharpz214]

Sounds like a chainsaw.

[froggyoncrak]

just jizzed..in pants



[DrJey]

that sound is music in my ears, ohhh my god ! twin-cylinder FTW !

[akaegypt4u]

its Harley guys

[Hullybrk]

what is it....? chopper ?

[bhushan790]

Like the bike.... but the sound SUCKS!

[fbs9494]

I'm jealous. That bike looks good and sounds good. Congrats.

[Robboooooooo]

i want your bike army man. send it to australia :)

[dwill8919]

Ugliest fucking bike in the WORLD!

[TrO419to702]

@Matt, what your height n weight gotta do with anything? Just get the Lightning XB12Ss its a longer bike with a higher seat height, and fuck this 1125 its a Rotax engine not HD.

[MrNineTwoFive]

Why an inverted shift pattern? Personal preference or is there a advantage on the track by using one?

[khanumam]

@audiobomb6400 yeah makes it a lot easier to shift, especially for track days!

[barkerbox]

@audiobomb6400 The gear box is the normal. Its the shift control that is inverted.

[MattHutzell]

God I love Buell's... unfortunately I'm 6'4, 270 pounds and have no way to pay for one anyway.

[barkerbox]

@mrlepto The solenoid closes the the throttle in certain conditions.

[barkerbox]

@998uzi From what I understand a 1190RS is in EPA testing right now.

[Grove2010]

The 1125r DOES have a Rotax engine.

[pencon61]

My TL1000s sounds a lot better with race Yoshes .

[kfox66]

LOL Safty wire... You must be in maintenance. Nice bike!

[brandnreal]

ducati still sounds the best no offense mr. buell er..

[barkerbox]

@mrlepto It is an electric motor that closes the throttle bodies in certain situations. When removed, it cant close the throttle.

[onegrayleaf]

buell is like a muscle car, only for a bike.

[hughesju]

tell PVT Snuffy in the background at 1:10 to get some head gear on!!! LOL, sounds amazing bro!! im sold on the FMF now!!

[Frejborg]

Always hard to tell through a video like this but.. not my cup of tea when it comes to bike sound. Interesting looking bike though. Bulky!

[Guess34]

sounds like a quad not a street bike >.<

[nzdrift777]

SEX ON WHEELS!!!!!

[andyvh1959]

Nope, not a Rotax engine. The 1125 engine comes from Aprillia. But, either way, its a great ride. I rode a stock 1125CR last Saturday and was really impressed with the bike. It has a raw, animal character to it, but its a very rideable bike. Some dealers are selling left over ones for $5995 brand new!

[barkerbox]

@andyvh1959 Yep, it is an amazing scoot. It is defiantly not a Aprillia engine. It's a Buell designed engine manufactured by Rotax-BRP.

Good luck on finding any more new 1125s for 6K.

[AustRD]

@andyvh1959

It is a Rotax engine.....Rotax also build Aprillia's engines.

[RogueBrit]

@andyvh1959 Engine is by BRP Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG, a premier manufacturer of high-performance engines,

[Honda040life]

@andyvh1959 Its a harley sportster motor, i went to a harley/buell dealer ant one bought out the other or somthing like that and its a worked harley motor

[Honda040life]

@Honda040life wait a minute, i was wrong, its a rotax, the 1200 is a harley im almost positive

[wbedient]

@Honda040life Not exactly a HD engine. Same bore and stroke, different cams, valves etc.  Stock 2006 Buell 1203cc makes 103 hp and 86 ft lbs. A stock 2006 1200 sportster makes 70 hp and 79 ft lbs... and weights a lot more.

[Honda040life]

@wbedient yea, the 1200 is a worked harley engine

[F4sSprintST]

@andyvh1959 NO, it's NOT an Aprillia engine

It's a Rotax, which makes the Aprilla engine, but it's not the same

[pencon61]

@andyvh1959 Aprilia's engines are made by Rotax .

[djxtasy87]

Sounds wicked.

[Bikerbro2007]

It sounds awesome!!! The Buell is a beast of a bike and handles great !!!

[bajapanties515]

nice to see what you can buy when in the military.

[jimmyboy131]

This sound infinitely better than a typical Harley. (Yes I know, that's blasphemy to your typical Harley rider). So what's the difference in the engine? Is it the way the engine is tuned or the exhaust, or what?

[barkerbox]

@jimmyboy131 It is not a typical HD mill. Its a 72 degree 4 valve OHC liquid cooled fire breathing 150hp mill as compared to the heavy HD mill a 45 degree 2 valve pushrod air cooled 60hp lump.

[woodyate]

@barkerbox is that a rotax engine?

[barkerbox]

@woodyate Not exactly. Long story short, it is a Buell designed engine made by Rotax.

[CBRorDETH]

You at a base man ? -the Bike sounds great and I really am not a big fan of Twins but this Exaust sounds really tight

[Ghernanjose]

its a v-twin right

cause i always like v-twin sound way better than those revy inline ones

one question though

is it normal for this bike to give orgasms

[barkerbox]

@Ghernanjose VTWIN! THUNDER!

[Honda040life]

@Ghernanjose Its a harley sportster motor

[delta88pacecar]

hey barker im looking at a 1125r and im 6`3 and and was wondering how tall you are just to kinda see if i would even fit on one

[barkerbox]

@delta88pacecar I'm 5'10 on a good day. I think I'm just a bit short for it. I also have a Ulysses with a tall seat, now that is too big for me. I think you could be a good fit. The stock 1125r ergonomics are more sport touring than sport. Moving the bars and putting on Uly pegs could give you alot more room over stock if you fell it is to cramped. There only one way to really know, ride one!

[hammer2145]

@delta88pacecar im 6'3" and the 1125r fits me like a glove. its absolutely perfect for me. but if you want a tall handlebar kit you will have to go with a 1125cr. honestly though everybody is different and you should head to a dealership and check one out for yourself to get the feel for it.

[tamaninja00]

What's the spring for?

[barkerbox]

@tamaninja00 The springs hold together the exhaust. It connects the header to the can.

[razerbani]

i dont like it

[ProjectSOR]

1:33-1:36 probably the best sound i have heard i just love how that sounds

[ChemicalThor]

sounds nice mate

[Hardboi01]

1 up and 5 down? wtf ?? lol

[cairnsguy22]

@Hardboi01 Have you not ridden a bike before? That's how most of them are....

[barkerbox]

@cairnsguy22 Most are not 1 up 5 down. Most sport bikes are 1 down 5 up. My 1125R has a custom shift assembly to reverse the standard pattern to the GP shift pattern.

[cairnsguy22]

@barkerbox It was late, wasn't even paying attention, I took it as the guy was thinking "why isn't it 6 down, or 6 up?"

[Hardboi01]

@cairnsguy22 no most road bikes are 1 down 5 up.

Have you ever ridden a bike before ? ¬¬

[cairnsguy22]

@Hardboi01 it was late, wasn't even paying attention, I took it as you were thinking "why isn't it 6 down, or 6 up?" And nah, I've never ridden a bike before, just own a Triumph Street Triple, and used to have a 696 Monster, but nah, never ridden one. (sarcasm in case you didn't catch on)

[Hardboi01]

@cairnsguy22 lol ok fair enough and yes i have ridden a bike before seeing as i actually own one right now, and dnt worry sarcasm isnt that dificult to spot in writing

[cairnsguy22]

@Hardboi01 lol right on.

[barkerbox]

@Hardboi01 Yes 1 up 5 down. 6 speed GP shift. GP shift is reversed so that a rider does not have his foot under the shift pedal when needing to up-shift in a corner, it also makes for faster up-shifts. GP shift is primarily found on sports bikes and bikes intended for use on the track, but most sport bikes come with standard shift from the factory. All of my 1125R has a custom shift assembly to reverse the standard pattern.

[Hardboi01]

@barkerbox but whats the point in having it on a road bike? or do you use that bike a lot on the track?

[barkerbox]

@Hardboi01 Yep, the bike sees occasional track time, but alot of folks who don't go to the track prefer GP shift for the street. To me, standard pattern makes no more sense on the street than the GP pattern. Many championship road racers have used standard shift. If your bike were geared right for the track, you would not need GP shift.

[oeyesea]

The executive who killed the Buell line is an idiot. People like him are the reason government has to step in and rescue businesses. More of the younger set is attracted to sporting bikes than something like a Street Bob and Harley won't have anything to offer the next generation of cyclists.

[Davetts92]

@oeyesea I agree, they should've closed Harley, 'cuz they've been building the same crap for 50 years.

[buellreaucracy]

Sounds good.

[reciprocation23]

i cant find a fuckin 1125r for the life of me, fuck you buell for goin outta business

[URIZHEY]

@reciprocation23 If you want a 1125R from "next generation" search for Magpul Ronin. Its the same bike with a lot more style ;)

[LWRCftw]

@reciprocation23 ebay

[MNel86]

What the fuck was buell thinking with those intakes? Worst part of bike

[dktechguy112]

@MNel86

they serve 2 purposes

1. they are radiator inlets

2. they protect the bike, if the bike goes down, the pods take the impact, they actually have leaf springs in them, and the pod covers are only $50, so if you wreck it doesn't cost a lot to fix.

[Gierap]

Very nice sound man.

[just2s33]

Really like how this bike looks. Some HID's would be good. Also like how the noise isn't brutally high pitched like others. Excellent overview!!

[xpsychoticvanx]

sounda awesome

[xpsychoticvanx]

[armoredpig]

[mxboy96]

[rstone94]

Yeah just bought the same pipe for my 1125. Can't wait to get it on and hear it for myself. Its probly too load for America too, but noone really cares.

[urudufusmisrael]

sounds really good!

congrats

[dopesince1990]

NICE VID, VERY WELL DONE

[Parker3850]

Great vid! Did you have to remap the stock ECM?

[xtmracer91]

sounds like an Apache at idle.

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

Thanks for the Fly By. One of the few vids on 1125 exhausts that gives a good range of revs. Are you pleased with the pipe? Anything you dislike?

[buellpaul01]

for Germany to laud ... unfortunately

[buellpaul01]

sounds very well

[glt56]

for france too....

[IdidURmom2]

[stuntjunkiesprdtns]
