Ur right that does look like a bandit front end....Still, if u put a Firebolt upper fairing on there, would be sweet
Give it a little while guys. I remember when everyone said the same things about the whole XB line in 2002 when they came out. Now look at them.
Plus, you cant keep the same **** around forever guys, they have to expand and innovate somehow.....

I dont think that bike will ever grow on me. I've been looking at the 1125R and trying to like it because its a Buell. I've seen them in person...and I just cant. And now they make this....thing....out of the 1125 platform. Its just plain ugly. They could have gone a thousand different dirrections to change it up. The one they chose was probably one of the worst. If you like it great...but I would never spend my money on that thing.
One of my joes walked in as I was looking at the 1125 and said "oooh, is that the new Batman bike?"
With every other Buell design, I see function over form. A lot of people think the XB's are ugly, but they function very well with all the engineering involved in them. I look at the 1125's the same way.... I personally don't think they look that bad, I like them because they are different.
BPG...will those bars fit my XB12s?
hmm, delete the air scoops and I'm on that beast...
they took the xb12s out of the line for the 1125cr
come on, just another front fairing (which reminds me of the lazareth bike) doesn't make another bike and certainly not a cafe racer!
atleast with the xb 'r' & 's' they make a change to the tail...but with the 1125 you just get another front fairing
i'm actually very dissapointed...:o
on the bright side the xb's are bad ass:D
I really don't like the air scoops on the CR. They make it look like a football player...really big up top and small on the bottom.
In my opinion they should have stuck the helicon motor in a SS chassis, added the new gauges and headlight assembly combined with the new brakes and voula. Everyone who have been more impressed I think.
On another note I think the they blacked out the engine too much on the 09 models. I think they could have added the black to the tail and side rails but left the engine and forks alone.
The color combos are great in all models and it seems that the accessories have grown a little bit.
Overall I think its a step in the right direction for Buell.
