Member Contributer Ughandi Posted November 4, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted November 4, 2022 Howdy! After crossing 7 months of my viffer being down, I figured it was time for Hornet to get a sister and get me back to some throttle therapy... So I adopted... Say hello to my new to me 2009 Buell 1125R Me and Mr. Buell share the same first name (and he spells it correctly), so I fully believe it was fate to obtain one of his creations someday. Working on this machine has thus far been painless for the simple things (air filter, spark plugs, adjusting suspension, and a few odds and ends to clean her up) ; lots of torex, but I was already prepared since my cage is Bavarian. Surprisingly, all bolts I have interacted with have been metric! #themoreyouknow. Overall, this bike is SOLID. I rarely experience build quality like this- Every little piece was built with purpose... I bet Erik is proud of his creations. She is still unnamed, so I am open to any and all inspiration!

TimC Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Congrats on that sweet bike! Looks like it's in terrific condition, too. 🙂 When it was announced Buell was closing down and the HD dealers starting blowing out the remaining bikes in their inventories, I considered buying one of these in the naked version. I didn't really have the money at the time, and I wasn't looking to replace my VFR, so I passed. But I still think about buying a nice one for a fun short-ride road rocket. Congrats again. I'd love to read a review if you'd care to write one after putting a few miles on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
