so i come to realize that like the ipod each new buell will only be better and have more cool stuff and styling.

(last week i was thinking to myself dam i wounder if people are going to make thier 1125r's look like streetfighters and then bam this morining i get an email from buell
subject: 1125 cr)

making me always want a new model.
i wish they had a ride this one for the year and when the new one comes out we will trade you out and you will have the new better one program
went straight to my local dealer and said the minute you get this bike call me i want a closer look and maybe just maybe........
anyone else feel the same?

Ipods, Buells, every other technology based product always gets better. compare a top of the line computer of today to one 5 years ago. no comparison. it just feels different because this is a hobby and an addiction.

they scratch up but still work, play some good tunes, are not cheap, total accesories may cost more than the item itself.
yep, bikes are kinda like ipods

Buell has one upped itself and made the 1125 even uglier... kudos?

I figured that out in 1990. My "personal" Buell (down from 9 at one time) is a 1995 S-2. It's a classic, great to ride and spectacular.

My iPod is a first gen that is beat to death (some of you recall the dau I lost it at "excessive speed" on the way from NYC to Buell and crawled about on the pavement to find it. It's scratched, beat, bend and old but works wonderfully.

Touch technology lightly. I'm a candidate for a new Buell (a are Blake, Aaron, Henrik and JB2) the moment one screams at me the way the S2 does.
