Never seen an 1125RR until I picked up my latest issue of Motorcyclist. Man that is a sexy bike (Taylor Knapp's #44 1125RR). I cant tell if the scoops are full size but thats the point, you cant even tell they are there! The full fairing IMHO transforms the bike, I'd ride one if it looked like that! | ||
| S1125r |
I'd ride one that looks like they do now. Oh wait, I already do. If you want a fully faired 1125r, buy the fairing kit. | ||
| Jraice |
Got pics of one with said fairing? | ||
| T_man |
The fairing lowers won't give the 'complete' look of the 1125R - the belly pan is missing. | ||

The Buell race plastics is a Full set. There are numerous aftermarket companies also. | ||

Was there ever a complete spec list of this bike released yet?Something with hp/tq numbers.They said the bike is suppose to compete with the liter bikes like a r1.I rode a 07 r1 stock yesterday with a yosh y pipe.Needless to say it totally blew my doors off. I dont really even see the rr even keeping up with a r1.The bike was sooo smooth that it felt like it had no tq.It did. We did a 10 mph roll i jumped 3 bikes on him he then blew by me while shifting in second and from then on it was 10 plus car lenghths.The rr better bring it to compete with a r1.I didnt mean to bash the rr in my post. Im just looking for numbers and comparing my experience between the r1 and a stock r with tuning. All in all my r is plenty fast enough and am happy with it.No rice here | ||

I dont really even see the rr even keeping up with a r1. It already has. The 1125rr came in 6th and 8th at NJMP race one, and 7th and 12th on sunday for race 2. Believe it or not, there were r1s behind it in both races. | ||

I didnt mean to bash the rr in my post. When did they start letting the general public test ride the RR? | ||

I’m not sure what the gearing is for the RR or what the output is either, but from what I’ve read the advantage the RR has is it’s easier to transition from side to side over the other liter bikes. As far as the aesthetics go, I hope that Buell mimics the “RR” style for the “R” newer versions in the coming years. | ||

You can't buy the RR, but you can come close to it by building it up. YOU can get most of the parts, straight from Henry and Jamie at BMC Racing. We have a race exhaust and the CF skins and the Suter slipper clutch, those I have seen. The skins are paper-thin and weigh almost nothing. Very well made. The race exhaust head-pipe is a work of art. I doubt I'll "Full-fair" Loretta. I thought about the lowers for winter riding but decided that would look dopey with a Drummer and no bellypan. I don't see a "Taylor" or "Danny" bike sold as an RR, but who knows... Z | ||

Are the lowers available in any color other then black. Part of the joy of the ABS is the color injection. Having to paint the lowers removes that benefit. | ||
| Geforce |
Who makes the Buell Race exhaust? I think I was told at RA that it was a small shop...but I could be wrong. Sorry to thread jack. | ||
| Blackflash |
cams,injectors intake manifold revised heads.$$$$ very pricey,sh-t the exhaust is 2k. might as well just hand over your checkbook or buy some rice. | ||

It already has. The 1125rr came in 6th and 8th at NJMP race one, and 7th and 12th on sunday for race 2. In regards to this statement The rr was soooo good was because noone even wants to race in the ama superbike only 29 entries on 9-2 in ohio & in the daytona class on 9-2 there were 43 entries. its not to hard to come in a great place when theres noone to race you!!Hats off to eslick that weekend!!I was there.it looked like there was noone racing in the superbike class. But to compete against 1000cc Along with a good rider.I dont see the rr doing it. All the racers are laughing anymore about superbike And how noone wants in.I do like the idea buell has stepped it up. I also think eslick needs to step it up and prove himself by entering in superbike.Is the rr entered in any motogp races? | ||
| Jdugger |
> Is the rr entered in any motogp races? Won't happen. MotoGP is a prototype league, and motors are specifically 800cc and may not be production based. | ||
| Blackflash |
I really would love to see the rr keep up with the 1000cc bikes.But I dont see any spec sheets/dynpo charts max speed charts nothing!!I dont understand why they didnt put that rr motor in production instead of the current one.Is it not reliable enough? | ||

Yeah but are the racers laughing at superbike as much as we're laughing at you for asking if the 1125rr is or will be in moto gp??? You're arguments about superbike are dumb. There are always more bikes entered daytona sportbike than super bike. First reason is dsb is a much more affordable class to run in and more available to privateers. Second, daytona sport bike is made of two former classes, superstock and formula extreme. These two factors have more to do with the field sizes in these two classes than anything. You're comment that a 23 year old kid MUST step up to superbike after winning his first sportbike race and championship in the same season is dumb. It also contradicts you're opinion that there are no good riders in superbike. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't move up to superbikes, it's his career not mine. But. I don't think it's something that has to be done right now to prove his ability. I'm sure you're a swell fella, but you're lack of knowledge and logic in this thread is glaring. | ||

Second, daytona sport bike is made of two former classes, superstock and formula extreme. I think the fact that it's much cheaper to run DSB makes the field so large. It could be said that Superbike is a combined field of Superbike an}d Superstock from last year as well. | ||

WOW! Some of y'all need more racing in your diet. DMG is chasing manufactures out left and right. AMA is headed for disaster. Perhaps their goal was a stock bike championship with all 1125Rs. I think it'd be cool actually. Buell will never be in GP's top class. They may be able to build a chassis for Moto2, but that's about it. Anyway, GPs are headed downhill. WSBK is plausible if the bore goes to 1200cc and is homologated. KTM, MV Augusta and maybe Triumph are all headed that way. Right now, we are about 2 years of electronics development, a top tier rider, and about 30 hp off having any shot at a podium in that championship. As far as it being competitive in AMA Superbike in 2009, it's not really fair in context. The 1125RR doesn't have a VIN, all the others are uprated road bikes. | ||

Fresno, Not sure how superbike could be considered as superstock and superbike combined. Most of the existing teams in dsb came from suoerstock and formula extreme. Anyway, I agree that it's the cost difference that is the biggest factor, which is why I listed it as my first reason, but you didn't quote me on that part. Clark, If you're talking to me about needing more racing in my diet, I'm doing just fine. I was trying to stick to facts and stay away from opinions. | ||
| Clarkjw |
Why would I be talking to you Badil? At least you know what displacement the GP bikes use! | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Not sure how superbike could be considered as superstock and superbike combined. Most of the existing teams in dsb came from suoerstock and formula extreme. Are you getting Superstock and Supersport confused? | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Yes, I misspoke on the name. Out of sight out of mind I guess. | ||
| Blackflash |
I seen that 23 year old kid race .He can!! I even asked him about it. He said that he wanted to prove that he can be consistant in the daytona class before he heads that way to superbike. | ||

In all honesty I believe if Buell simply released it looking exactly the same as the 1125R pace/saftey bike they'd sell them by the boat load. I know we can buy the lowers (I have a set) and I know some of us appreciate the individuality of the current pods. But from a purely business point of view I think Buell missed (and is currently missing) the mark by not releasing the 1125R in that guise. Either way, I love the bike and have made it 'my own' anyways. It just seems a shame that this great American sportbike is missing the sales that 'could be' due to small aesthetic adjustment. | ||
| Macchiato |
You said it T_man, that's exactly my point. They could leave everything else alone, but make it look like the RR. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
I think making it look like the pace bike sans flashing strobe lights is more plausible than making a RR replica. The main difference is the radiator config on the RR. | ||
| Xb9er |
you show me a set of RR mid fairings and a belly pan that fits the stock pipe and I'll show you a very happy bueller. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
as far as i know, all you would have to do is cut the back out of the buell belly pan to accommodate the outlets, i believe others have done that on here, but i cant remeber who... Jake | ||
| Clbofaz |
Jakes right. Ive seen it on bikes here as well as know of some aftermarket vendors that will do it for you. | ||
| Xb9er |
so what your saying is I can buy the buell $500 buell mid fairings and a buell belly pan, do some slicing and have full fairing R?? | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
thats EXACTLY what we're sayin lol, so for around 700ish$ u can have a fully fared R that looks like an RR.. Jake | ||
| Xb9er |
I can't wait for Christmas | ||
| Rex |
I agree. the buell looks fantastic with the side panels and the belly pan....Great looking bike. REX |
