My god this thing is sooo fast like laughing like an idiot on the way home fast. Its like my bolt just smoother, lighter, and fast as hell. I love this thing picked it up at around 10:00 am Saturday by Sunday I had 250 miles and gone through about two tanks of gas. Is the fuel economy bad well hard to say when your on it so much haven't even gone wide open yet and am impressed even up to like 6k. The only issues I have which are me issues not bike related in my opinion. I have had trouble getting down to first once in awhile , but the Neutral light comes on fast so if you watch for that to flash or when you come to a stop it will go all the way to first. I think some of this is related to the transmission on this thing being modern as opposed to my old bolt which was hate to say almost tractor like. But I am getting used to it that and twist grip pulls like rapped ape acceleration. This thing is just awesome if your reading this and don't have one of these things yet, get one sell your other bike, your car, kids don't need to eat, apartments are just as cozy as houses, you have 10 fingers 10 toes seems like a surplus. Buy one of these bikes now, you won't regret it. | ||

Congratulations. I had some shifting issue during break in as well. Like you I think it was more me getting accustomed to the bike, but I also think the big has smoothed out as it wore in. | ||

Chris, I was wondering when you were going to pick up your bike! I just reached 1200 miles this weekend, and I can tell you that the engine just keeps getting better with the accumulated miles. You'll adjust to the light touch it takes to find Neutral fairly soon. I just graze the pedal with the toe of my book now, and I'm in Neutral. Smooooth. Congrats, and look for me on the road in my Hi-Viz Aerostich when you're riding in SE Wisconsin. | ||

I am wearing a Buell Adventure Jacket and a Arai Helmet with white and gray graphics. Actually I am wondering who I saw last Saturday I think I was somewhere in or near McHenry County and I saw another 1125R sitting at a stop light had two people on it. I was actually kind of surprised I mean what are the chances I would see another 1125R, unless these things really are selling like crazy. | ||

Cool to hear reviews from street riders. Clutch was kinda strange compared to my XB9 but I agree with Spectrum and Gfc55. The hydraulics rock and do take a bit of getting used to. I had some kid on an RR the other day at a light and I never looked back. What more can u ask... |
