Buell is done, finished, gone

[Adeptus_Minor]

Rode the 1125CR and 1125R today

The CR stands for 'CRamped', but the R stands for 'Rawr'
...and the sound of it under acceleration, even with the modest factory pipes.
It sounds like a parallel twin blipping it at idle, but when you crack the throttle at around 4k.. mmm....

Nice bikes, really, but I went home on my Warrior...today

perhaps they could use less confusing model names? what's the difference between the R and the CR? which one is the full fairing one?

CR = Cafe Racer, no fairing.

yeah, what he said.
It's funny, really. The differences between the two come down to some very slight dimensional changes and the plastic.
Yet somehow I felt kind of cramped on the CR but the R I rode next felt much more natural.
(coming from the last two+ years on a cruiser, take that as you will)

what bars were on the CR, stock the CR has a lower set of clip ones, so the reach would be longer

The cr is geared down 9% as well.

Not much street fighter in it either. The true definition of a street fighter is a highly modified bike. Geared of low end speed and built for a more upright seating position.

It's really just a naked sport.

And now we know the real reason Buell failed.
