The 2008 1125r is featured in this months section along with the quote "the 08 1125r carries fewer imperfections than plagued Buells original 146-horse Helicon V-twin the year before."!?!?!

I saw that. Wasn't 08 the first year of the 1125?

I think the "original" was referring to the press prototype units that suffered from fueling roughness, overheating and other problems.

i remember the initial tests, the 1125R has some pretty major flaws

Found it interesting that in the write-up on the Aprilia they noted "Bad stators are common"...
