just a thought but buell rolled out the xb9s about a year after the xb9r...140hp naked bike from Buell, YES PLEASE!

I sure hope they fix the ugly air intake/radiator covers [down]

Put it in the front like on a Triumph, or Ducati. Or integrate it into the frame like the fuel tank...now that would be sweet :D:D:D

I thought they were ugly at first but they're growing on me. Plus they do their job much better than front mounted rads. I'll always prefer function over form.

Exactly, plus once you see them in person, you will probably change your mind.

The new 1125r looks pretty good if you like the Yamaha R1/R6??? It doesn't look as unique IMO. I'm a big naked sport bike fan and I look forward to the new 1125s. I like the XB12r just the way it is, we don't need American sport bikes to migrate towards foreign designs.

How does it look like a Jap bike? It has the same tail as the XB12R. They basically swapped the motor, slapped some radiators on the side, invented a more functional fairing, and called it good. It kept the Buell look as much as it possibly could due to the changes. Come on guys, they didnt even change the wheels....

I wish someone would design some wheels that would allow you to keep your front brake and still get a custom look

Well, a company cant survive in the motorcycle industry if all it did was the same **** over and over and over.

probably not...they will probably wait and see how they sell first so they can cover production costs.

That wont stop somebody from cracking open their stock pipe...ripping any guts/baffels out.

Don't get me wrong, I love Buell and I like the 1125r, but specifically the headlights make me think Yamaha. It doesn't look as Jap as the Fischer MRX.
