I guess they do or at least for me.

Had a fresh pic of my babies.

So, which gets ridden more?

I have an XT, but I want an 1125 too. I really liked the white ones with the blue wheels. Too bad I'm totally broke right now (son's college, daughter's wedding, house's roof, and on and on) or I'd have one.

Hopefully the 1125 gets ridden more. I've done 25,000 miles combined on both my 1125 bikes since August 2009, and only like 5000 on my XB in that same time. They are genuinely amazing bikes!

Jealous? I need to get a current pic...lol

I agree with Froggy, the 1125 is an amazing platform...although, with my current state of mind and life situation, I have MADE myself park my CR indefinitely. Too often I look down and see over 130 on the speedo, and I need to not be doing that right now. So it sits, tucked away under a cover with a tender hooked up, for when I'm in a better place : )

I really do like those '10 pod decals, though...wonder if they're still out there for the CRs...

...and my post above is not meant to slam the XB at all! My Uly still gets the most miles out of me. I flat LOVE that bike, and it lets me do dumb s**t like hop on and ride from Maryland to Daytona in a day. Or do a lap around Lake Michigan in 3 days, 2 up (ok, it needed a tire on that run). As amazing as all my Buells are...the Uly is probably the best all-around motorcycle I've ever owned.

Froggy: I have an 1125CR and Uly and the Uly gets ridden 10x more than the 1125. Not that I don't want to ride the 1125 more, but since I have to haul my daughter to school when I ride, the Uly (and my RT) are the only bikes that make sense. We've ridden the 1125CR a few times two up, but that's not what that bike was made fore. ; )

I have to agree 100% with most of the above. ; )
I love Loretta but she gets ridden 1-2 days a week, the Uly is my workhorse.

Joe's right tho, the Ulysses is the best all-around motorcycle I've ever owned.

White with blue rims is gorgeous. I hope eBr uses that color scheme in the future.

Guess its about time for me to get back to my own post, been out riding.

I love the both for what they are made for. The Uly was bought so I could ride my wife and do a little traveling. The R is strictly for fun and its all of that.

If I'm riding solo the R is the first one I grab.
I've been through a few bikes and I'm pretty happy with the setup I have with these two. I cant come up with any justification to buy another bike (that the wife would buy in on,lol).

Its cool, I'll leave it like that,lol. Its the truth in more than one way.

But nice catch, Druelly.
