Paid off credit card debt. ahahaha, If I sold it. Buell 1125 CR for Sale. $6,100. Buell S2 for Sale. $3,000. Honda 90 C200 for Sale. $850.

I am happy with my Buell S2, M2, and Triumph Bonneville. I really do not need anything else. The Royal Enfield Classic is pretty good, and for lazy riding on the two lanes roads, would be a fun bike to have.

There are some pretty attractive prices out there on wrecked 1125 motors. I would like to put one in my tube frames. Also would like to put a Blast motor in an XB frame.

I'm still (strongly) considering selling the 1125R and my ZZR1100 and buying a Uly.

I have 3 bikes now and two of them haven't moved a wheel in the last month since my wife bought me my chop.

GAH! You & Court both! Enough with the teasing!

CURRENTLY, hm.

Is my XB9 CityX considered valid? I'd rather keep that than the 1125 if I were down to just one bike - it starts reliably down to 0F or below.

If I were to be totally out of the Buell realm, I'd probably replace the 1125 with a BMW K1200 or K1300, probably the naked sport model.

I traded my 2008 Buell 1125R for a 2011 Hayabusa Perl white 5 weeks ago. The Hayabusa is way more comfortable for my size, 6'4" 265lbs. I miss the handling of the Buell! : (

I already traded in my 1125r



There was another thread with a similar topic awhile ago and I was talking about this then. I pulled the trigger earlier this month.

ZX-14 *maybe*

I would miss the light weight and handling, but I'm a 1" taller and heavier than methyman, so I could use some room too

More punch is always nice

If I were to replace my 1125 it would be with Suzuki TL1000S. AND I just bought one... but I still have the 1125R. Result: I am completely satisfied with my motorcycle family.

I'm liking the RC8R-RS. Need to scrape together some more pennies before I can pull that trigger.

good question. What ever I get It would have to be a twin. I'm addicted to the torque!!!

I second the KTM 1198, I also hear the triumph's are nice.

I have done and relegated the 1125R to be the track bike, BMW S1000RR bought as the new road bike.
The potential unreliability of the 1125R given the history of stator and VR issues, clutch slave cylinder leaks etc mean that the bike cannot be trusted for the usual long journeys I make.
I looked at Ducati 1198 and the Triumph Speed Triple but it just had to be the BMW

For the same reasons as Dirty John, I recently bought a Ducati 1198. My 1125 will be used as a track bike.

I thought my 1125R had some torque compared to the inline fours until I rod the Hayabusa. It has amazing torque that I was not expecting. It doesn't buck like my 1125R did at 3000 rpm or below and doesn't corner like the 1125R!

After the third R/R, second stator and wiring harness I'm sadly done with the 1125R. It's parked and for sale. Being 58 and needing to slow down a bit I've picked up an 06 Triumph Sprint ST 1050. Just right for me.

1199 Ducati, have an 848Evo and an 1125r and love them both, but 195HP twin would be amazing. Curious to see what Froggy and Court are teasing here in the next few weeks might change my mind ; )

Saw a benelli tornado special edition that was tricked out at a local dealership, was the owners, but affordable I would choose the ninja 1000 or a triumph speed triple

Court and Froggy are just repeating what Erik himself posted on Facebook.

I'm guessing a more mainstream priced product... but of what genre, I'm 95% sure it'll be a sportbike. Exploration into other types of bikes will come later. Play to your strengths.
