Something that looks good.


375 though, that'd be hard to beat.

Looks are subjective.  I think it looks hot.  Numbers are numbers.

hmmmmm, the numbers are nice, do debating that, but I'm not a real big fan of the looks :dunno_white:

my only problem.....

Belt Drive.... don't like the idea of it.

Hipocracy.... becoming more acceptable with the more power you think you have.

Oooooh yeah, didn't even think about that.................I wouldn't trust a belt with that kind of power.

I'd hit that.  My only concern would be whether or not my insurance would go up much (by going over 1000cc).

It is hot.

What, like the engineers didn't think of that?  Do you take naps on your jump to conclusions mat, or do play twister on it or anything?

They obviously haven't thought of up til now.  Every buell in town goes through belts like theres no tomorrow.  I was talking to a guy with an xb9r and he said he usually kills em inside of 10k.  Shouldn't you be off bleeding clients dry???

The 03 belts were not the best.  Especially if you're wheeling from every stoplight.  They were improved for 04 and 05.  In 06 they improved again and they gave them a lifetime warranty, they were so confident in them.  I think it was made stronger yet for the power of the 1125R.

If you still don't trust it, you can do a chain conversion, but I'd love to have a belt... can you say no more tedious chain maintenance?

The light weight of the 1125R will help the life of the belt, too.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

good judgement trumps good skills every time.

the guy with the 9r said the first time it snapped it was at highway speed and scared him so bad he literally pissed himself :o

I'd rock a belt, it's nice to finally see a good (non american) motor in a Buell
The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

I read one of the first articles on that bike when it was being developed, and that bike is the bee's knees.  I'm diggin' it, but it's a pricey little beast.  But man, the torque would be a LOT of fun.  The biggest gripe people have had about Buell bikes was the outdated Harley technology.  That grip is no longer an issue.  Excellent handling, innovative braking, fuel and oil storage, and their exhuast technology is popping up on new bikes (GSXR shorty exhausts).  I'm excited to see some consumer reviews in the future.   :icon_mrgreen:
