Tpoppa Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 If I can get my hands on a white 1125R with the blue rims.... I'll bite. Though I'm still partial to the CRsWord is $5k rebate on all Buells (though I've read only $3k rebate on the XBs for some reason... can't verify)Time to continue the search.The 1125s use non-HD motors, there are some HD execs that seem to resent that. I'm guessing that is why they are deep discounting the 1125s more than the XBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 good luck finding the white one. Not that I don't like black too, but I am partial to white. I looked all around but every time I open my eyes all I see is blackQuit sleeping next to Udell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 There wasa a guy, italian, at the dealer who has an 1125R. He said he owned metric bikes his whole life..raced at Mid Ohio for 5 years...and prefers his 1125 to all the others.I just can't get my head around the styling. Ew. And the vibration is a deal killer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well this news has certainly thrown me for a loop. An 1125r has been my dream bike since the moment they came out...I've been looking at ways to get rid of my 650 and to get on an 09 black/black 1125r for months and months now, only to hop online one day and see this news.It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens with these bikes next season. I, personally, am hoping for bargain-basement used prices but then there's the whole issue of warranty/maintenance/OEM parts. They just released some OEM fairings for the 1125r that makes it look like a completely new bike...who knows if these will be floating around in the future or if the small batch they've already made will be the only ones available.I wish they had just put the brand up for sale instead of killing it altogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never disliked the 1125r's looks really, but as soon as I saw those fairings I thought to myself "THIS is how the bike should have looked from the factory".

Parts will be be available for (at least) 7 years. My guess is much longer as all the unused 1125 motors are being crated and shipped from Austria to Milwaukee where they will sit...The decision to close and not sell is puzzling, especially as HD is claiming they are hurting for cash. I am aware of at least 1 group that is making a bid to buy Buell and there was another (unconfirmed) rumor of Yamaha expressing interest.

I am aware of at least 1 group that is making a bid to buy Buell and there was another (unconfirmed) rumor of Yamaha expressing interest.Hm, it'd be -extremely- interesting to see where a Japanese company would take Buell. Buell was about one of the most 'unique' bike makers out there, and uniqueness is something seldom seen in the Japanese sportbike market. It would be a fun endeavor to watch at the very least.*edit*Also, my concern with warranties being honored isn't so much a "will they, won't they" type thing, but it's more along the lines of real-world application. From my understanding, good Buell service was already hard to come by because it was all done in Harley dealerships, and I can't imagine this situation will make the service and warranty adventure any easier.Oh well. I'm not giving up hope just yet. If I can find a used '09 or '10 1125r for a really good deal (>=6 grand) next season or some other time in the future, I may still buy it and try do all the work myself...
