Well All, I finally did it, after riding this forum for months, reading everything I could get my hands on, I made the jump and took possession of an 08 1125r today. Being a very novice rider, and having other obligations today, I was only able to put 22miles on the bike, but I can tell you that I am in love, not just with the bike, but the whole experience was one the best I have ever had to date. The bike is like nothing I have ever ridden, it seems so settled and precise, you just seem to think were you want to be and the bike intuitively is there, I am very impressed.

I would assume that your bike has the latest flash? Congrats. Very glad you took advantage of the good deals on the remaining '08s.

When I saw pix and specs last August, I knew I had to have this bike.
My little brother came up from Texas and took the Firebolt a week later.

It was a horrendous wait until delivery the 18th of December but the roads were clear enough for a 20 mile ride at 25˚ F.

I never expected to have 12.4k miles on the bike already.

Congratulations.

Cool deal Cscutt. Picked mine up this past August so I haven't had mine very long either. I owned a Firebolt previously and couldn't wait to get the 25r. I waited for a year and gained a ton of knowledge from the Badweb before I made my jump.
Happy Riding!

so now that you've got it and ridden it, crack open the manual and tune the suspension to your specific weight. it'll make the bike into a completely different monster.

you think it's sweet now...just wait

I know there are a couple in the Fresno/Clovis area. There was another one at the shop getting something done to it today (I assume the reflash or 5th gear recall). If that owner is on Badweb, let me know!
