I was curious to see what the new 1125r would look like with the Lightning tail section and headlight assembly, so I photoshopped what it might look like. I figured I would share it with everyone on here. Click below for a full sized pic.

Pods have to go, but the rest of the bike even the muffler looks good.

That is the best photo-chop I have seen of that set up yet.
I kinda like how the scoops stick out farther then the head lights.

I think if it had a set of clip-ons and the city-x head light grill it would be perfect!

IF they build something like that. I mean, a lightning, with the 1125 engine and chassis it will be one hell of a fun bike.
Not to mention a beautiful bike.

I, for one , would buy one.

Nice photoshop.

I have a feeling they are going to reshape the pods for the 1125s.

I like the look of the pods.--
Form following function.
I also like the fairing.
I would need higher bars and a little more windshield to make me really happy riding the bike.
As they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
I 'DO' like the version created above.
I could be happy with that too.

That is hands down the best Photoshop of an 1125S.

I think it has sort of an alien type look to it with the tip of the pods sticking out farther than the head lights. I wonder if it would be possible to build a parts bike based on this design?

If you ever wanted attention, this would be the bike to get. I would drive it for the pure fun factor.

I finally saw an 1125 up close, yesterday. The pods that look so funky in pictures actually look okay on the bike when you can walk around it.
