Is it just me or does the new bike look like somebody put the luggage hard bags on the front of that bike? Well, at least I don't have to worry about wanting to buy a new bike this year from Buell... again...

The XB12R in White/Blue is still the best looking bike currently offered by Buell.

Its just you. (jk)!

No I have to disagree. I like the looks of the cr the best. It looks as if it wants to hurt somebody and with the lower gearing I bet it will do just that.

Hey some of you photoshoppers, hows 'bout a red CR with black pods. I like the red but don't care for it being chopped up like it is. I'm kinda indifferent to the bike as a whole right now, maybe it'll grow on me.

Throw in a black front fender as well.

Meh. I still find the pods to be pretty ugly. Props for getting rid of that funky dark blue frame though. The pods seem less obnoxious in black.

I think making the back smaller only makes the front of the bike that much more obnoxious. Why don't you stick that small fairing on a XB12s and it would look like a Benelli

Almost there. I too thought the pods were rather gangly looking at first but they're not all that bad in person. I think coloring could tone them down quite a bit too.

Thats funny.

The B-King is better looking IMO.

I like it, but if I end up with an 1125, it'll be the R, esp if I keep the CityX.

You could always go streetfighter and put something cool looking with really crappy lights on it

that's discontinued, BTW

That's where I'd seen that before.... The friggin BKing! I was looking on the site thinking...Hmmm, this looks familiar!

Thanks Rick for solving the puzzle.

I sure like the Black Frame. The other tailsection does look good. The front end looks agressive and modern. Lower foot pegs, higher bars, and a more flat seat, and I would love it. I like the white they have added the red, and the black frame.....

So what did all you that dislike it think they were going to do with the radiators??

Buell is giving you what you want and you are still complaining...

It is not my favorite, but from the head on view it looks mean as hell.

And it really does not look like the B-king, that bike is FUGLY.

Has anybody made a smaller carbon fiber radiator cover yet for the 1125s?
