mate... i can tell you I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my xb12r. its a fun bike!... but damn if the 1125cr ISNT JUST FREAKING AWESOME!!!
Thanks for all the responses everyone. The dealership here in town has an 1125cr with 500 miles on it for $8500 (my brother is the mechanic at this dealer btw). Another nearby dealer has a 2008 lightning for the same price. I can't decide. I'm leaning towards the 1125 though.

my 08 1125R has a clean bill of health and just finished my 12,000 mile checkup. most issues are going to be covered under warranty/ recalls etc. the only problem with that is the time it is going to take to get parts ordered as most HD dealers dont carry many spare Buell parts anymore.
Just got 1125R back on Thursday from being in the shop for almost a month with a stator problem. Went for a ride today and noticed now the clutch is starting to weep. So back to the dealer I go!
No problems so far with 2500 miles. 1 year old.

Where, exactly, does the 1124CR clutch "weep" problem show up?
Mine started spitting fluid out of the small puck insert on the clutch cover (RH side of the bike) making my right boot wet. There is a small weep hole in the puck.Where, exactly, does the 1124CR clutch "weep" problem show up?
Great bikes and all, but parts take FOREVER. Took a month to receive a part for my shift linkage, only to find out they sent the wrong one. The guy at Harley said it's because they are moving the warehouse away from East Troy and so are having to re-catalog everything. They aren't doing it fast enough, so parts end up sitting in piles waiting to be sorted.
I have a 08 1125R. Had the weep problem, (fixed under warrenty). Problems with the speedo pod - flashing on and off + fuel gauge problems,(fixed under warrenty). Now I'm having problems with the speedo itself saying 0 at hiway speed. Need a new speed sensor. I like the bike because its different, like having a Ferrari in a sea of yugos. But they do have bugs. Everybody here says they rip but I think my 750 GIXXER would smoke my 1125R. Just my opinion. But I diddnt get it cuz it was the fastest thing out there. If you buy a Buell, go into it with your eyes open. If you want a bullet proof proven bike with easy parts and maintenance you should probibly buy a honda or something like that. But if you want something different than everybody else and have some patience. Maybe the Buell is for you.
