The graphics on the pods are kick ass, You know this isn't a Nissan forum?  | ||

There is no 1125RR listed on the website, and for those following the AMA controversy this is not a good thing. | ||

}You know this isn't a Nissan forum? I know, but my buell uses the same oil filter as my 2 Nissans. I just go to the store and buy 3. I like the new brake rotor, though not as cool as the wavy one. There are some new things up, but basically just colors. The fairing kit for the 1125R looks good, and for 500 isn't too bad. And I saw the mini bumper stickers at a dealer 2 months ago!

Too bad about the Blast. It seems that they never put any refinement into that model since it was introduced several years ago. | ||

Ewwwww....new logo. | ||
| Capitantem |
And new RSS! | ||

I like the new direction buell is going. The blast was long overdue to be discontinued. Yeah sure it was a great beginner bike but like Erik Buell said, its not progressive or a sportbike which is not what buell is about. I like the logo and as with any change there will be a lot of opposition, but I think the new logo is timeless. I really did not like the old pegases logo. It looked somewhat tacky or outdated. The new logo has more of a refined timeless look to it, somewhat like the ducati logo. I think this new logo will be here to stay for quite some time. | ||

Hope the new LED brake light is plug and play w/my '07. | ||

I like the White CR ... and the High Handlebars are now Standard ... Yeah ... The Graphics definitely make the pods more bearable! | ||

The white cr looks pretty good, but why did they not make the tail white? Looks kind of strange. The 1125r white doesn't have the blue on it, that was what made the white one look good. The rest of the line looks the same. | ||

Why does the firebolt cost more money this year? The have done nothing to it but add some new turn signals and down the revs by a few hundred. | ||

The rest of the line looks the same. I thing the graphic is just wrong. The Rear view shows it as being White. And the White R's have a white tail. I bet it is actually white .... If not ... your right it does look hokey .... Here is how it should look ... I supposed while at the dealer buying one ... you good negotiate the white rear plastics into the deal if they want the sale ...  (Message edited by dmhines on July 25, 2009) | ||

I would hope so, but in the specs it shows the body work color as arctic white/black. Body Work (molded in color) Midnight Black , Racing Red, or Arctic White/Black (Message edited by yjsrule on July 25, 2009) | ||

The white R is also listed as Arctic White/Black .... I think their Flash based changing color Graphic is probably messed up ... Hmmmm .. do I sell my XB12cg or see what kinda deal I can make on a Trade .... (Message edited by dmhines on July 25, 2009) | ||

I'd like to have one too, but I think I would rather keep my ss and buy an 06 uly for around $6k, so the wifey can be more comfy. | ||

The only negatives about the CR/R is that: 1. Gotta deal with coolant. 2. I hear valve adjustment is part of maintenance. The XB's are just so darn low maintenance you really never have to go to the dealer for it ... My biggest mistake was test riding a CR! (Message edited by dmhines on July 25, 2009) | ||

anyone notice the o2 sensor on the front pipe?  | ||
| Dmhines |
Anyone Notice the RIGHT SIDE AIR SCOOP!?!?!? | ||
| Yjsrule |
Yeah I saw that on one of the uly pics, they have a heat shield for the rear pipe on them now, I was checking that out. | ||
| Motorico |
Did anyone notice in the compare bike specs option on the bike specs page there is now a XB12SX? Seems to be based on the old XB frame it shares with the XB9SX and the XB12Scg. I can't say I'm surprised, I can never find a XB9SX on the dealer floor. Now if that's because it is the SX (sexy perhaps) or if it is the only XB9 I can't determine. | ||

should have done the header pipes in black on the xb's, it would look really cool | ||

I like the new brake rotor, though not as cool as the wavy one whats new about it? It was designed with Computational Fluid Dynamics! Duh http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/product.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=4&CategoryID=3&ProductID=10027  | ||

Also, there is a link box for the new 1020 apparel showing a new jacket, with the new logo, but it not listed under the clothes. | ||

Quite frankly, seeing Eric bash the Blast after years of trying to market it as a cool and practical bike, makes me sick! I do not own a Blast, but to see this just isn't cool for the many individuals who purchased them and put money in his pocket. That part of it sucks! Shame on him....just my honest opinion! I may keep my City-X but after that, no more Buells man...what's next, Eric bashing the XB's? | ||

The 1203 motor on an XB9SX on the website looks like a typo since the details still show it with 984cc, but I just saw an XB9SX with 1203 engine (or at least the label)   It's at the dealer in Fremont,CA. | ||

Did they get rid of the Clubmans on the CR? | ||
| Buford |
Is that an O2 sensor in the front pipe??? | ||
| Too_tall_ss |
Clubmans are now the optional handlebars on the CR |
