"The model 1125R was selected due its high level of performance and aesthetic potential that were never fully realized by Buell as a subsidiary of Harley Davidson."

I would disagree with that. It could be modified to more adequately fit a certain persons sense of aesthetic, but overall, I think it's a gorgeous bike.

That thing looks like something that would drop out of a Transformers ass after it ate a dozen ears of corn! I do like the exhaust...

Looks like something from Confederate... But that really is nice... It'll be interesting to see if they ever make a kit available...

I would buy the kit if the price was decent. I really like the way it looks.

Anybody notice the battery location above the exhaust... thats an interesting idea..

there is a few items i could sport on my bike, but overall i hate the front end...looks stupid IMO...

Other aspects of the bike look pretty wicked though.. who knows maybe it will grow on me

You couldn't put an RC8 headlight on because that would block the radiator.

I'll never understand why people try to apply girder forks to a modern bike....

because they look incredible! i believe that with the proper suspension tuning they can handle as well as a high end inverted-tube design.

IMO they look cool and set up right they would work just fine look at that p120fighter it has an actual shock in it not just a spring like the noisy rattly springer front ends HD has on some or their bikes

I had girder front-ends on a 1940 Scout and a 1948 Chief Indian I brought back from the Philippines.
They have NO business on a modern sportbike.

The entire linkage suspension system was designed and produced in house at Magpul.

These systems have some benefit over traditional fork design but their limitations require more complex materials and manufacturing to over come which is why they are rare.

Magpul, I just want to say I like what you did with it. I don't think it is something I would do with my bike but I think it looks fantastic. Nothing else on the road like it.

Thanks Froggy, It was meant to "stir the pot" a bit in terms of design.

The entire concept was designed and built in house in just two months.

Rake, trail and rider position remains unchanged from the original 1125r

Not quite for me, but gotta love the work that was put in to it. I think I'll just keep buying my AR accessories from Magpul and bike parts from... well, shit... who knows where we'll be getting them from in the long run.

Magpul, maybe an LED headlight replacement for the XB series crappy headlights since it looks like you're already tinkering in that area.
