how many of you who dis the new buell (not that im for or against it, i havent made up my mind yet) but how many of you will take a test ride and scream the loudest YIPPY inside of that helmet, then get off back at the dealer and want to sign papers?

My XB9SX City X is why every day is ride to work day for me. The long way home is 15 miles of off pavement fireroads and forest service roads. I am coming home when the sun goes down. : D (wooo-hooo) {not much for yippi}

Don't get me wrong here if I try it I'll be wanting one at the beginning but it will be like the superduke after the excitement is gone I still prefer the feel of the xb12s motor. I had crotch rockets before and they were allot of fun but for street use the power and fun is not available unless you triple the speed limit.

I don't think the 1125 will be like that. With it's 7000 rpm wide 70 to 80+ ft/lbs torque line and a 10.5k redline it's almost like an 08XB12R with a extra 3400 rpm. It'll be like the best of both worlds.
If the torque line wasn't close to my XB12R I wouldn't be interested.

Sorry I didn't mean the 1125r will be like a crotch rocket it was just an extra statement in there. I mostly compare it to the superduke in the power department and believe me it's a good thing but I will wait on the 1125r since I have been looking at a lightning x1 and xb12s for about 7 years so I guess it's time to get one lol.
