I can count on a few fingers the number of cars or bikes I've sold that I actually regret ... And this was one. #516 - Only mods were the factory race kit (ECM, muffler, K&N). After picking up an '09 1125R last week, even my wife said "I liked the silver one you had before." I guess we're just Buell people!

It did ... I sold this bike a few years back when we left CA for the Midwest. Great machine - Like I said, one of the few I ended up missing. I've had a H-D most recently, but then got the Buell bug again. I guess once it's in your blood ; )

I have a Millennium, and just bought a 1125CR. I wasn't in the market for a new bike, but I couldn't pass on the deal of a lifetime on a dying breed that I love. I was/am perfectly content with the X1 and can't even consider selling it.(too much money invested, won't ever get it back)

Mdoughten, we have the 1125 reasoning in common, although you were smart enough to hold onto your Millennium. I only had my purchase price (used) plus the race kit invested in mine, and had a guy come along that just had to have it. He offered me more than I had in it, and since we were moving, I said "Yes" a bit too quickly perhaps. I'm not ridden an 1125 yet, but might be tempted to ride mine in the rain if it doesn't let up soon ... Come on sun!

Just picked up a 01' S3T. Was going to sell my 02' M2 if the S3T was everything the seller said it was, it was. My Bud really wanted the M2, he's a tube frame fanatic, drag racer and HD salesman. He said my M2 is the best looking Buell. He was honest & said if I were you, I'd never sell the M2. I was glad he understood when I decided not to sell it especially after the recent sad news.

I love that orange color!!! One of the many things I like about Buell ... Not afraid to stray from conventional wisdom / convention.
