One silver lining about the last week is the spike in new 1125 riders this week! On pretty much every MC forum I'm on one if not two or three people have bought new bikes this weekend! Too cool and welcome.

I do have to laugh at all of the noob questions, I love it. It great to see all of the positive energy.

Noob? Bet I rode one before most here did! Living near the factory, racing a Buell and having friends that are engineers there (or were I guess) has some perks!
Thanks for the welcome. Pick mine up tomorrow. Now where to find room in the garage among the other 3 Buells and 1 dirt bike!?

Does one turn signal blink faster than the other yet?

throttle noid? what the i've had an '08 XB12S for about 8 months now. i love it but about to trade it in for the one and only 1125r. i need info you guys. the problems i had with the xb were: if it got too hot it had trouble crankin over, rattling in/behind the baby windscreen, right blinker working when it felt like doing so. what else? all little things. for that being my first bike ever i really enjoyed every mile.

I just bought an '09 R in white/blue, and researching the choice (coincidentally enough just a few days before the 10/15 H-D announcement) made me log back in here. I hadn't been around since I sold my '00 X1 Millennium some years ago. I'm back now - Thanks for the welcome!

Just bought an 1125CR today. Looks like the SV650 will become a track project.

Looks like there are a lot of SV converts. I also am moving from a SV.

Thanks for the welcome to this side of the house. Now I get to split my time between 1125R threads and Uly threads

Even though all of my turn signals are working, my left set does blink faster than my right set. But then again I don't have all stock signals and I have a few extra LEDs with my Givi V35 bags and such.

Just bought my '09 CR. I got to ride the 1125R last year at the Inside Pass demo day at Willow Springs; thrilled to finally pick one up tomorrow. Now if BMW ever builds my S1000RR I'll be set for bikes for awhile!

The local dealers around me are selling Buells like crazy!

I wonder how many new guys there will be in the upcoming weeks....

Congrats to you all!!!!

I almost jumped onto the 1125, but was afraid of the insurance, and the Dealer that promised to get me a quote never called me back.

To new riders:

There is plenty of support all around. Don't let any problem go unheard. Sly, Easyrider, Zac4 are all top notch people to talk to!

Dont forget to setup your suspension!

+1 on suspension set up. If you have an '08 download the correct setting table. The one in the OM isn't correct.

It's color impregnated plastic - how about if I just sand it down a little for you?

Thanks for the welcome - the 1125R was too good of a deal to pass up - now I just need to find a buyer for my VRSCR Road Rod - water cooled tourer anyone?

Thought not.

Guess I'll join in. Picked up my 1125R last weekend after somebody wanted my Hayabusa more than I did. Hello insurance money, and hello great deal on a Buell.

And yes both my rear turn signals quit on the way home! They fail again and I'll just fix them myself, they're still working after 165 miles yesterday though!

Off to search about the correct suspension setting, while I'm looking anyone got a link? Thanks!

FWIW, mine is just under $700 for full coverage.}
