Not to steal Nick's thunder, buuuuut....

[spicy]

congrats nick! glad to hear she's finally arrived. i have to see it when you get her on the road -- i should be around until late january, so hopefully there'll be one of those typical 1-2 day thaws that'll allow for a quick ride or two before i head back to school.

so when are you gonna pick her up?

Just stumbled upon this SWEET Buell Blast on bikepics.com


BikePics - ncarney5's 2008 Buell Blast Home Page on BikePics.Com

(The bikepics.com registry doesn't have the 1125R in their database yet, so I had to improvise)




I also took a couple of short videos but these are two VERY large uncompressed files (about 20-25mb each)

damn that bike is dirtier then my dirt bike. Congrats on finally getting it home

[Hoss]

congrats!

I got to see/sit on one at the IMS show in NY just after Xmas. I was impressed with the amount of space and display's they had dedicated to the bike.

Congrats again!

Nick, how tall are you? it looks nice and compact still, like my XB. pics of the bike alone make it look way larger but doesnt seem to be the case.

dying to scope one out in the metal. congrats again! nothin' like a new horsy.

[ff36buell]

Typeone, I'm about 6' give or take a little... the bike is very compact compared to how it looks in pictures. (i always wanted one of your guage overlays for my SS, shameless plug, they are still great) the bike just "feels" more solid than my SS eventhough w/ my clip/on style conversion the ergos and positioning were similar... oh, and being able to power wheelie in third doesn't hurt...

[eboos]

Just for a heads up...

If anyone else wants one, stop by Sheldon's HD/Buell in Auburn, MA.

Even if you don't want one, stop by anyway and we'll just shoot the shit (please, I'm bored).

[typeone]

leave it to the Germans! check out this fairing update for the 1125R, i dig it

[OreoGaborio]

I dig the sides & lowers but I like the stock upper & headlights better. It changed it from a bike that looked topheavy to a bike that looks bottom heavy.


I wanna see one w/ a chin spoiler/belly pan.

[typeone]

agreed. something right in between the two designs would be perfect.

[CMG241]

well I stopped by Manch HD's open house/demo day on Saturday hoping to test ride a new1125........... it wouldn't start. yup, its still a HD at heart.
