From what I have read here, I am the only person who even owns a Buell. I also own a Honda CBR 1000rr. My pick is the Buell, the speed is more than capable (not as fast as the Honda) but the diffrence is minimal. The Buell is easier to drive and I like the way it looks better, it’s not your every day bike which in my opinion makes it exotic. I want to know who can actually USE all the power provided by some of these super bikes. I ride almost daily and it is a rare occasion where I can actually stretch the legs of my rockets. My opinion Buell rules! It has the most useable power in my experience.

If you can’t stand the styling of the 1125r maybe look at the 1125cr… same bike, but w/ a pretty little windscreen. Personally, as a muscle car enthusiast, I alway wonderd why sport bikes didn’t have big ram air scoops, and I think w/ a differant fairing the 1125r would be perfect, but it is still so dang cool. I am going w/ the cr though, because I will rarely be on the track, the cr is still very capable. (Comparable to the r even w/out the fairing I’ve read)

pods,pods,pods, all i ever here is about the pods. get over it if you want a bike that looks like everything else and performs like crap than the 1125r is just not for you. and guess what some guys in the UK i beleave made a full fairing for the 1125r with xb12r lights and covered up the pods. so now please find something else bad about the 1125r and get over the pods!!! buell does rock anyway

This I’d great. While I can think of at least five ducatis that I want Buell has really got something to get those results. While I love the ducatis Buell is thinking more radically and in the long run that will count for more. Can’t wait till the RC8s join the mix. I thought there would be more Aprilias in these races though.

Hoyt,

After seeing a few 1125Rs in person and sitting on one, I think it looks vastly better in person than on the monitor.

Then again, I thought the 999 looked wicked in person and much better in the real world than on the monitor, but all of the negative comments about that one I’ve read came from the keyboard riding set.

Ducati, stylewise, is stuck with the past. It sure is a good past to be stuck with, but sooner or later, the old becomes old and there is no escaping marketing death. Which is why 1125R Ninjectomy makes me yawn. The only benefit I can see from it is increased advertising space – very important for racing. But look at the rest of the bikes eligable for Moto-ST, and look at which series Buell sponsors, and it all makes a lot more sense.
