Hello all. Just picked up my first Buell on Friday and OMG! I bought an 1125cr and this bike is amazing. I went from a Honda sport bike to the Buell. The difference is night and day. I cant say enough about this thing, but you guys already know this. Just thought I would come in and say hi. I have been lurking on here for a while doing research and from what alot of you had to say, help me make up my mind. Thats about it for now. Thanks.

>>>>I went from a Honda sport bike to the Buell.

Welcome . . . for you have turned to the light. You will be pleased to know that Honda is now beginning, with patents expiring, to use some of Buell's engineering principles. But . . . you are safe now and will never have to suffer again.

Ride much, lean more, and smile most,

Voodoo - welcome to the family!

If you get a chance between rides, send me a note and let me know how you like the CR mirrors. I'm thinking of adding a set to my Ulysses, to make room (at the signal mount spots) for aux lighting...

Welcome Voodoo. I was talking with a sales guy at my dealer Sat about Buells of course. A lot of folks get a totally different idea about the Buells once they ride one. Totally different ride and feel than other bikes. It doesn't grow on you, it grabs you and won't let go.

Welcome Vodoo from the dark side and into fresh thinking and engineering.

I was wondering how, did you ever make it into a Harley Dealer and find a CR or how did you find about the CR?

Im part of a sport bike forum here in North Carolina. One of the guys I ride with rides a firebolt. I never really gave Buell a thought till I saw him ride that thing. He was killing most of the metric bikes we ride with. Then one day one of the other guys I ride with said lets go test ride some Buells. Cool. Jumped on the 1125R and fell in love. I knew this was going to be my next bike. There is a big (for a lock of a better term) "bike show/meet and greet in Raleigh every year. One of the guys I got to know from the dealer let me test ride the CR. Sorry the R was out and the CR was in. So far so good and I can see my self never going back. I want a Ully now too.

Not from there, just live there. Just outside of Raleigh. Holly Springs.
