Wow!!!! Yep I'm impressed!!! It's getting smoother and smoother, stronger and stronger. It tracks like it's on rails and so easy to turn! Brakes are outta sight. Had to use them last night when a herd of Whitetails decided to meanader across the road. Must have been 30+, never seen so much white tail in one place. One oil change down and time 2 ride some more.

Already added some farkles: LED license plate turn signals and brake light, Kisan Tail Blazar, "s" pegs, H11 high beams, Buell Tank bag, Throttlemeister and.... more to follow.

BTW, if you are doing any electrical work and disconnect the battery, there are two cables on the negative terminal. If you leave off the smaller of the two, headlights don't work bike won's start, basically it's a nightmare while you are awake, silly Neil (Zack, thanks for coming to my rescue!). This cable likes to fall down under the tool pouch.

Congratulations Neil!!!!

It was great meeting you. I gave your previous 12R quite a workout in the mountains on Sunday. We really had a good time! Nice smooth transaction, huh?

After riding the 1125R on the track, I knew you were going to love it.

Heheheheh
Hell it was obvious back in October or November, Neil had already convinced himself to get it.

Happy to help, Neil.
Made my day, early.

Congrats on having more fun than normal people.

Neil, I see you did something with an LED license plate ... did you buy a kit or something? Chop the tail your self? Any Pictures?

Something like this:

Kisan

I got the license plate and Tailblazar from www.kisantech.com. I think American Sport Bike also has them.

Neil,

Your posted picture nearly brought a tear to my eye.

The tied down bike looks like a trapped animal impatiently waiting to be able to run free again.

Have over a 1000 miles on mine now, and could not be happier. Totally awesome bike.

I clubed raced for a bit about 10 years ago. Had a great time, but now with this 1125R, I want to get back on the track just for fun.

Did you modify the tail section at all to block the wet dirt spray coming off of the back tire from hitting the tail light? My tail light needs a cleaning after almost every ride.
