Does anyone have a problem with power wheelies?
Should we unite and ask for a full factory recall?
Are you tired of having to control your launches?
Let's unite and demand LOWER horsepower and more dostile transpertation.
And another thing, who in their engineering, sub genius mind came up with that brick style faring. What a joke, they should have just put a funnel on the front of this bike.
I've had more people ask me about this aful designing and WHERE IS MY CUP HOLDER??

Please, for the love of GOD and all that is good, make me a seat that has an anti pucker sponge.

Unite people, let's not get too far away from HONDA's infulance on this "Superbike". And conform before its too late!!

Buell's rule! They are not Buellsh*t!
This isn't 2 be taken 2 seriously, just think about it. Japan is now seriously threatned.

Is this supposed to be a facetious post?

My bike stays on the track and I've had nothing but good comments about the bike's power and looks, especially from the pros that race from coast to coast. One pro was telling me about the reliability of the engines that he saw at Daytona. Not sure if you're asking for more power or less.

Come on, my "Buellsh*t" disclaimer didn't raise a flag? Of cource its a joke! This bike, was drawn up on a napkin, given to a clown to design. I mean who puts radators (yes, 2) on the SIDE, and NO lower faring. Where am I going to put my poser stickers??? And that 8 piston SINGLE rim mounted roter, how does it stop over 100mph? Geeesh, the Miller must be diffrent up there than what I drink! Oh, adjustable toe pegs! Blasphamy!

Can't we just copy what's already out there? I love cookie cutter, ill copy u to save a buck eneineering.

Come on guys I'm not joking at all!! My bike draws TOO much attention! Even the diehard stuffy 40K weekend Harley riders do double takes. Why I had one of them ask/tell me "looks the part, now prove it."(in regards to the 100+ unusable hp.) which I obglided with 3 power wheelies and loss of sight of him.

What have we done?
Paid all that $$$ for something which can't be ridden on the other end of the tach!
The damn thing's too fast!

Let's go, revolt to Mr.Buells shop and see the place, and speek our minds!!
TOO MUCH POWER! WE WANT LESS!! DESIGNING, GIVE IT A REST!!!

Man this is one sick bike, I'm so proud of it, I named mine "Girlfriend".
Mabie I should name her "Bit*h"??

Yep. Buell finally got a motor! Yep the abti-pucker sponge can be seen on tv. Chamwow! Trust me guys/gals, IT WORKS! Just lay on the seat before you get on and be shure to spread your cheeks a little before settleing down. You want maximum "draw" before u take off!!!!
Seriously, does this thing rock, or dud?

As for me, ill take a little heat from the Harley guys, only to show them how this "crotch rocket" mmakes them 50k small penis, fat wallet, Billy Bob wanna be's get-r-done!

But I still want less power! I mean its no fun getting there first and be finishing my third beer before everyone else even gets there! Damn, I wanna ride back home after the get together. Not call a cab. Sheeesh!

Come on with me guys/gals, wait I know, let's buy some "Blasts" and race some Silver wings!

Now that is a challange

Let's drop a 1 and make it a 125RR! What cha say?????

No I'm not on any drugs! I have a warped sence of humor. I'm in love with my bike!
I don't have a wife anymore.
I don't want her either!
My bike never bitc*es, always ready to do what I want, when I want, how I want, where I want, and don't care if I have another!
This 1125R is the best thing in my life now!

Now as far as this thread goes, if you don't have a since of humor, you probally might misunderstand me.

This bike has more power than should be allowed in an american motorcycle!
I grew up around rough-tough "bikers" (Hells Angels type pepole) and I thought for a long time that if it aint air cooled, American iron, it wasn't worth owning!!! Still do!!
I've riden MANY crotch rockets, owned a few hoggs, but this is the FIRST rocket I've ever owned.

And I have been converted. Altough the motor is Austrian, the susp. Is owned by Honda, the tires and dash are Italian,and the frame and e-thing else is made here in America!
America is FULL of diversity, and pride for our own.
It took 200+ yrs to be where we are today. So my arogance to diversity boils down to this freakin motorcycle.
If you haven't riden this bike (peww my dog just came up and left me a stinky air present. Uuggh. Cough) on an open road with the throttle pined back and the pucker sponge squrming in your cheeks, your missing something. Life.

My x loved to ride, my son thinks about it all day long. You know, running around yelling verrom, waaa, waaa, waa (going through the gears) he loves it as much as I do!
So you see boys, I have a life and live one too.
So I'd you think that this humor thing makes me a fool, well you have your opinion. But we are at this BWB page for the same reason...

1125R's is a rockin', sockin, bad a$$ mmo-foo that joins us together. Now go out there and find a way to SLOW this thing down so we can count the rocks in the road, or something like that!
Oh April 1st 12:00 pm in Milwalkie, I'm having a protest march at the Buell HQ in the front lawn(its small so bring a barstooll) and bring someones jap junk that u stole from a garage somewhere. And well have a bon-fire to protest..."TOO MUCH SPEED" and get some attention. LET'S BE SEEN AND HEARD.
There should be some type of pipes out by then....

Mil-walkie....get it?
Dug-gram ok, so ur older, younger, doesn't matter, as an American and under the constution, I can say pretty much what I want, when I want, HOW I want!!! I'm not bashing you at all! You have the right as much as I, to speak! So pour it on brother!!!!
Dough-nut, what's wrong? You gotta prob with deliberate misspelling of that great flat city on the largest fresh water lake in Canada?? Er N Ameruca?? Eh? Ha. Darn canadians, think the permafrost gets em sometimes. Free insurance and all...
Rt_rick, shure! Ch_ago no prob bub, but can we use your bike for the pattle wheel boat to cross that. Pond???
Just stay on YOUR sude with that unit of yours!

Ok I guess some "get" the irony of my thread here. Some get ummm, upset all serious and all.
So here it goes, my disclamer:

This is a joke, only a joke, I'm in no way, shape, form or fasion, working for Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Su_sucki, cow-a-socky, April-a, MV August-a, Chinsui, huckfooy, or any motor cycle mmab-u-fact-u-ar. My opinions are just that, mine.
This 1125 has WAY too much power for me and I ride wearing a "depends diaper" so I don't soil my nice Alpinestar britches. There I freakin said it!!!

Still going to Mil-walkie tough...
(mumbleing)..
Freakin Rotax, where's my anti-pucker sponge?????

Thats what the was for bra. Guess i was too dry with the humor? Since it is "kinda" cold to ride (and the fact that I don't have one) I guess I'll have to go cry in my beer, at least it understands me.

Ok spy, ill let it all hang out! All 3".
My bike was "made" sometime in April 08. I've had all the posted recalls done, and it runs A LOT bettrer.
I'm going to try to get someone to map the fuel and timing as what I'm gonna tell next will probally sound crazy.
I was reading all (most) of these threads b4 I auctually (by the way my spelling sucks) made or atempted any mods.
So after noting that the only pipe avail was WAY over priced, I built my own. Yes at this time its sorta an experiment and altough its crude by modern robotiocs, it freakin rocks!
After reading more threads about the inner air box, I removed it.
Honestly, I didn't really like that. So I put it back on. BUT what I did to counter that was fab a scoop for the stock air entry. It looks totaly stock, the harley shop Buell specalist, didn't even notice until I pointed it out to him.

Now next I did something that noone has mentioned here, its an old trick that I used on drag racing and feel solid about.

Its simple air pressure
If any of you roadracers haven't played whith that, well mabie that's why your second, not first!

Us drag racers live and die by it!
I drop the rear to 32lbs and the front to 38lbs. This allows those corsa 3's to bite. Not that they don't, but imm not taking any chances.

Second trick is a joke to me, (ie: the thread on clutchless shifting)
I've done that, and have done that since I was 10 yrs old with a honda cr80.

Third I'm a "light" guy only 143lbs. But I can drag both knees, hence the new Alpinestars mentioned above.

Lastly, cause my freakin fingers hurt from txtng on this blackberry phone as I'm getting my self a "real" computer this christmas!

Run on... Sentence.

I'm not scared to twist, click, twist some more. The pucker sponge is real.
No joke, I wear diapers bot cause I have "accidents" but because I freak myself out every gear change when that bit*h of mine reairs up and you gotta stop just to surive the next gear change.

Seriously guys/gals, we need LESS power!!
Hence this thread, or should I say needle. Ouch
To get back to the point, my thrill of this bike is awesome dudes. I will and I will go make Eric Buell himself, and shake his hand someday and thank him for the most gnarly motorcycle. EVER.
(young enough 4 ya duggram??).

Be safe and enjoy life and all its got to offer. Love yourself, but not YOURSELF.
More to come I PROMISE
My satire will return!!

Oh last trick.
Tea bagging!

Oooh not THAT kind. Dirty minds!

The kind that calms your stomach. A warm cup of that stuf that snaped this country into a frenzy 200 yrs or so ago, and lead us to NOW (sort of).
Its winter in the northern hemisphere, and a very large portion of "bikers" put their bikes up for the cold months. This is sort of silly to me (well I do live in GA).
But I ride ALL the time, except rain and ice. Being we don't get much here, I get out a lot.
So to my point, naaa mabie in a munute, ummm what?

Oh yea, the power thing,

My question to you is this, why in the hell does horsepower go up when the temp goes down? (I'm not stupud, I know why science-tiffically brain-e-acs) um questioning irony.
I go faster, get colder.

Hence teabagging. Dua.. Perv's. Gessshh.
(mumbling)
Damn Rotax, gotta get warm..must get warm.

Ruffled some feathers didn't I???
Well get off your arese and wheelie or something as this is all this bike is good for! For crypes sake, get warmed up.
Go out there and scare the hell out of yourself. Riding that is, not looking in the mirror, you freak!

Gsxr's beware,(of what, I'm not too shure) were coming to fill up the "objects in mirror...message thing" in your mirror and reach over and push your kill switch! Um then mabie you can realize we're in control!
Yes I said it. We are in control!
The only way u can beat us in ANY straight line, is to start up and cluck in gear!
Ummm what??

Oh did I mention, my bike wheelies better than yours? Yes that's right, I got proof, a cop told me and gave me the "thumbs up" and was so impressed, he pulled out this clipboard full of what looked like important papers and asked for my autograph.
I told him I wasn't famous or antthing, so why did he want my autograph? He replied,"its not for me, its for my friend! He loves motorcycles! And he always asks me to get as many autographs as I can, and he has meetings to help to raise money for the state, to help build new meeting areas all over the state."
I was impressed, to think that he would allow me to help. Wow.
The cop went on about my licence and something about a jail somewher u dunno, some cop talk, u kinda ignored him. And then he broke me from my silence by shouting at me. WTF you ask.
Well so did I.
He said the meetings his friend did was court and his friend was a Judge!
Wow, I said.
He said he himself goes to a lot of these meetings, and that he thinks I should go also.

I told him my time qould be better spent hearding goats. And I didn't appreicate how he was speaking to me!!!

When I woke up, I realized how cold I was. And asked my new friend if I could borrow his blanket....

Good 1 Z!!! Zappa? Wow your the first to say that!
Nope but iam 3/4 americian indian,and 1/4 english. And 1/64 insane. (makes me more than 100%)
Well satire has been good to me so far. But I'd have to say I complety understand what Rodney Dangerfield (what a stage name! Classic!) meant in all his jokes. "No respect, why last night I asked my Daughter to clean up her room, and she said to me, What room you call this a room? This is a dump! I told her to clean her dump before I threw her out to the mansion!!! No Respect! Why I...."
I miss him! He was the greatest.

Kinda like Frank, Deweasl, Moon, Timi Zappa.

Rock on Z. Hope ur ok!
