It looks pissed! It looks like a demon possessed fighter plane headon...
Now I've gotta find a third job, crap... I was really leaning on making a used SuperDuke my next purchase, but not so much now... |

Bravo Buell! The CR is great. Reminds me a little of the Kawa Z750. It will sell well... at least in Europe. Congratulations! |

Looks like the XB12 models get the ZTL2 brake this year, too.
Yeah, you see what I mean... should I buy ZTL2 and American Sport Bike Brembo rear setups for my XB12R? New wheels to go with that? Or do I just buy a new Buell and skip upgrades on a 2004?
Not a bad problem to have to think through, this year... I like what I see more than any year I can remember, including 2004.} |

Ah. It's back. Wonder if they bounced new content? |

to me it looks like they were in a big hurry to get this out the door. The lack of a streetfighter tail, the mirrors, the Dudge Dred/Bking headlight.....they could have done more to it, ala the XBr and XBs differences...but it is what it is. |

Jeez, buell.com is starting to choke over here.
Nothing on h-d.com yet though?
Well, good or bad, I'm glad to see a reaction!

Buell.com is back up. Interesting highlights here. In particular, the 1125CR has lower gearing than the 1125R, the XB12Ss gets the TT suspension, and the Ulys get new footpegs. All the XB's get updated belts (again):
Buell Highlights for 2009 (see separate releases for more detail on each topic)
The Buell 1125CR
A cafe racer for the 21st century, the new 1125CR nods respectfully to the past with clubman bars, flyscreen and a tail cowl, while a 146-hp, liquid-cooled Buell Helicon 1125 V-Twin engine and Buell Intuitive Response Chassis (IRC) deliver the performance and handling of a modern superbike. Final-drive gearing is lowered about eight percent from the 1125R to optimize acceleration. Its sinister styling will make this bike unmistakable on the street.
New on Buell XB Streetfighters
Buell XB Lightning Streetfighters, powered by an air/oil/fan-cooled Thunderstorm V-Twin, get a menacing new look thanks to a blacked-out frame, forks, engine and other components. Lightning models powered by the Thunderstorm 1203 engine upgrade to the Buell ZTL2 front brake with four-pad, eight-piston caliper, a design that debuted on the 1125R in 2008. The XB12Ss gets fitted with the same supermoto-inspired suspension as the 2008 XB12STT, and the new seat on the 2009 XB9SX lowers the seat height by 1.3 inches to 30.1 inches.
New on Buell Sportbikes
The Buell 1125R, powered by the 146-hp, liquid-cooled Buell Helicon 1125cc V-Twin engine, is available in new body and wheel colors and with tinted windscreens for 2009. Also new for 2009 on the 1125R and 1125CR models are targeted fuel injectors, relocated O2 sensors, and updated engine spark and fuel maps. The combination of these features offers improved drivability below 6000 rpm, even crisper throttle response, improved heat management, and significantly improved fuel economy. The updated engine spark and fuel maps will also be made available for 2008 1125R models. The Firebolt XB12R, powered by the air/oil/fan-cooled Thunderstorm 1203cc V-Twin, has a new blacked-out frame, swingarm, powertrain, forks and other components. The performance of the 12R is even better in 2009 with the addition of the eight-piston Buell ZTL2 front brake, and new high-performance Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires.
New on Buell Adventure Sportbikes
The sport-touring Buell Ulysses XB12XT, introduced mid-year 2008, joins the versatile, all-road Ulysses XB12X in the 2009 Buell Adventure Sportbike category. Both models feature new aluminum footpegs with an aggressive “sawtooth” pattern. The new Buell Ulysses Police XB12XP is a "special duty" motorcycle intended for government agencies and private security firms requiring a quick and very nimble pursuit-and-patrol vehicle capable of travel over a variety of road surfaces. It comes equipped with a special wiring harness for easy installation of an Emergency Response Kit, which includes special compact, hard-shell top and side cases, a siren, and LED police pursuit lamps.
New Drive Belt
All 2009 Buell XB models will be fitted with a new, more durable Veyance Hibrex drive belt with Flexten Plus technology, the same belt technology that was originally developed for the Buell 1125R. |

Hey, wait a second... how are you suppose to tell the 9's from the 12's? Well since there's only one 9 model I guess it makes a lot of sense to streamline production and have just one frame color and engine color. |
