not really a fighter but its different. at only 170kg dry and 146bhp
the new buell 1125R should be fun

[zx12argh]

I like that - is it still running the old school humpty engine? I'd love to see one with the streetrod engine - that would be a weapon.

It's got a 75 deg Rotax donk. Watercooled, 4 valve,....should have some pep.

[exile]

In the 1st foto that Pom put on, it looks cool but after i checked out Billys link......it looks shite

[Hillsy]

Yeah - that side on pic looks horrid

[latheboy]

I like how the exhaust points straight at the rear disc ... good work ya dickheads ..

[Docktor]

The air scoop are ridiculously huge, Swapped the belt to left hand side and stole the front off a ducati.Seems to have a toey lump in it tho.......

[BOHEMION]

Looks awesome, though should be able to lose 40KG just be changing that exhaust.

[Watto]

The side on shot looks like the bodywork is too far forward on the frame[xx(]

[sickboy]

Someone should tell Buell that panniers are mounted at the rear of the bike not the front, exhaust is minging too.

How the fuck can a twin ever end up this wide?:

Whoever took that promo photo at the top isn't getting paid enough because they have made that thing look good in the photo. This shot shows how ugly it really is:

Do you think it is to do with world wide compliance that it looks so shite?

[fimpBIKES]

its got a real "chin-up" kinda look to it

not aggressive at all [xx(]
and how much air do they need to scoop in there!?!??!
tail looks almost SRAD-ish too...

[Benz]

Loose the fairing, it's butt ugly from all angles! Maybe something half its height and size, same for the radiator /airscoop shrouds and it "might" look good..........
Buell make a good bike, but this new model is screaming for someone to fix/'fighter the front.
And that exhaust.......fuck, what where they thinkin?????

[jakam04]

Id like to see under that plastic moulding around the exhaust.... I liked the tough pipes of old buells with pipes exiting each side of rear wheel. This new look makes it look as if they had a deal with tupperware..

just when you thought it could not get any worse, here is your fighter

[Iceman]

With those air dams at the front it looks like it should have a jet engine in there.

[crazymofo]

im liking it.

cheers.joe.

[mrcheese]

I dont like et, I dont want that one.

[cavey]

Thats fuckin ugly, how can they do that! surely the next buell should of had the rod engine!I
Im gunna b sick...

[dane_ra]

I understand how a forward visual mass looks good, but thats just shite. Lose the exhaust, front paniers, point the nose a bit.......

Maybe just go back to the old one.








Oh, and get rid of the humpty donk

[Funkenfresh]

not my cup of tea.... i like the motard, slim tail look..

[alfiestorm]

The designers of that one require something to distressing to mention done to them. Go back to the old one or get shot of all that plastic from other manufactures.
I can see ducati,bandit ,s rad, twist and go moped exhaust, harrier jump jet,triumph. The front wheel and brake is buell though.

Bring back the old buell looked heaps better and I was just getting used to them. Then they go and do that jeeeez

[chadams]

yet another piece of shit to come out of america... Mexico could probably make a better made bike then the yanks...

[Deano]

but just think of that motor in a spondon frame kit.
