Thread: Looking at a 08' 1125r

  1. #1
    Hi guys, I have never road a bike before and I hear some people think the 1125r is too much bike too soon, but I would have to disagree (open to debate). I'm looking at one that has the factory fairings. What belly pans will fit the factory fairings to make it look flush? And do i need anything else besides the belly pan. I've done my homework but can't seem to find specific ones that say they will fit these fairings.

    The airtech one is suppose to fit.
    It's all about throttle control.
    08's have cluster ,rear turn signal, and clutch cover issues.
    09 has stator issues depending where you are I would make you a great deal on a 09 with warranty till febury you cold either buy 08 stator parts or buy up to three years extended warranty still.

    I'm looking at a 08' at a dealer, should those issues already be taken care of?

    Appreciate the insight.

    i think its a bad idea to start on an 1125. its a powerful bike. its possible you could get comfortable very quickly but its quite a risk. any experience on dirtbikes or quads?
