The streetability is spot on between the gearing and torque. What a genius Erik is. I am still shaking my head why they pulled the plug on buell.   Jdugger Posted on Friday, June 11, 2010 - 04:46 pm:        Because Wandell hates sportbikes and thinks they shouldn't be made.   Scottorious Posted on Friday, June 11, 2010 - 06:18 pm:        I love it too even though i only get to ride it about every other week because things keep going wrong haha...its just got something that keeps me coming back!   Captainkgb Posted on Friday, June 11, 2010 - 07:51 pm:        everyone should ride what they like and like what they ride! But for me, BUELLS AND VICS ARE TOPS!! Regards, CaptainKGB   Squish Posted on Friday, June 11, 2010 - 10:20 pm:        I really like my Buell 1125R too (minor gripe on the front-end clunk/shock). "I am still shaking my head why they pulled the plug on buell." - They pulled the plug because of money / profit. There is simply much more money in selling hogs. The sportbike market is very competitive and it is much more difficult to make a buck building sportbikes. And, HD did not sell Buell to likely buyers to prevent possible embarrassment. Hopefully Eric can resurrect the his motorcycle line with a more parent company more motivated to build sportbikes, even if the venture is not high profit.   Father_of_an_era Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2010 - 03:07 am:        It is unfortunate that Harley closed Buell down. I think things were about to change for the better thanks to the 1125R and CR and with the future additions of the next gen Buells. All I can say is if the bike caught on, Buell would have been a huge superbike competitor and profit margins would have soared!   David_e Posted on Sunday, June 13, 2010 - 02:07 am:        Wendell is an idiot! I got rid of everything that I owned that said Harley on it.   R2s Posted on Sunday, June 13, 2010 - 02:10 am:        Wendell is a Wanker.   Lucky_jim Posted on Sunday, June 13, 2010 - 09:59 pm:        It's an awesome bike, but sometimes I wonder... haha. My bike's already in because of charging issues.. I have less than 600 KM on it. I've ridden once in the past two weeks Also why does it leak gas on my driveway by design.. I need the cali charcoal canister   Xodot Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 11:46 pm:        ...Also why does it leak gas on my driveway Answer - because you don't park it in the garage and let it leak there!   Mickeyq Posted on Thursday, June 17, 2010 - 12:09 am:        Really sad thing is Wandell got $6.4 mill for laying people off and dumping the best thing hog had for their future. Really good thing is Feb 2011 is getting closer everyday.
