    This looks pretty good I reckon. Ugly in a...good way?

    Based on a Buell 1125R. And a definite improvement on that.

    Not bad for a 125 cc.

    If someone asked me what's the worst motorcycle you have ever ridden, my answer would be the 1125CR from Buell! So dangerous and nasty to ride!

    Not saying that is...lol

    The back end looks good but the forks look hideous

    Yeah - that's what I thought when I saw it - I like the Ariel front end too :)

    Yeah - not really a good machine to start from tbh, but I guess they wanted something different from the norm. Hopefully the changes aren't just cosmetic and they've spent some time improving things with the handling, engine etc. For £25,000 I would hope so!! :eek:

    The 1125CR I rode was shocking! Engine is a beast, chassis is CRAP!!! And dangerous!!! A week after I said to the owner that bike will kill you he came close to just that, his mate had a brand new one purchased same time and it was the same! Both now sold, anything around 100mph and it would go into speed wobbles! And I mean BIG speed wobbles, a VERY dangerous bike!

    Never ridden one mate but you just confirmed what I always suspected just by looking at an 1125CR.;)

    That surprises me... my mate had an XB12S for a few years, and it was fantastic to ride! Very flickable, and went quite well... although the old Harley lump ran out of puff at 6000 rpm, which meant the gear shift got used a lot!
    Only downside was when sat at traffic lights the vibes used to blur your vision, and the exhaust used to set fire to your socks......
