Ok, it may have been an illusion, but I think saw an 1125R on a public highway in Wisconsin. It was Friday 7/20 between 2 and 3 pm. I was riding my XB12X Uly from Oshkosh back to Chicago. We were in the Kettle Moraine forrest south unit, Wisconsin route 67, about 20 away from East Troy, WI. I was heading south. As most bikers do, I always check out the bikes coming at me in the opposite direction and try to identify the model. The first thing I noticed was the over sized air intakes. I felt like a little kid catching a glimps of Santa Claus. Then as we passed each other the rider gave me the low wave. Was it a mirage? Could it have been a Buell employee on a test ride? Either way it was pretty cool. Does anyone have some insight on the possibility that it may or may not have been an 1125R? | ||

No reason to think it wasn't. Now that it is officially announced, there is no reason to be as secretive in testing. We never worried about running new model snowmobiles once they were announced in public. We rode them in public well before they were announced, but were careful (usually) not to stop in popular places along the trail if the sled was obviously new. | ||

I thought I was seeing things also, I may have spotted the same bike on that same Friday Hclem3. I saw what looked like a 1125R in Waukesha county, I noticed the air intakes and the shape and sound wasn't a normal Buell. | ||

No illusion, I remember seeing you. And after that I did make my way through Waukesha county so that may or may not have been the same bike. There's a few running around though so it's hard to say. | ||

Wow, that would be sweet to see one riding around. Hey Anonymous, any chance there will be testing in Colorado? Heck, I'd even be willing to trade bikes for a few miles and let you ride my Uly!  | ||

Hey Maximum, I read your last post and saw the pics of you and your Uly off-roading in Colorado. Great Adventure!! I don't think the 1125R would perform as well as your Uly did in dirt. However, I have a nice red Honda dirt bike I'd trade you for that beautiful red Uly??!! | ||

Hummmm, let me think about that.........NO!!! But thanks for the offer. The Uly is just too much fun!  | ||

I have a nice red Honda dirt bike I'd trade you for that beautiful red Uly??!! hahahaha the only way I'd trade a Uly for a Honda, it would have to be a complete dealership! and money to boot ofcourse!}} |
