Buell added a new model, the 1125CR - CR as in cafe racer. Very Bat-Bike like. Interestingly they are using a traditional clubman handlebar.

Buell has had some great improvements in the past couple years... I think that bike would look badass in all black!!!
Did they make the front disk brakes big enough?
BUELL® 1125CR

HORSEPOWER 146HP @ 9800 RPM
TORQUE 82 ft. lbs. @ 8000
MSRP $11,695
I didn't think those things pumped out that much power. And a lot of good features. The more I look at it, the more I like it...
Oh these are really cool. From what I've read 146hp is a detuned state for the street. From what I've heard the racers guys getting 170 to 175hp out of them.
Dry weight is 375lbs.
The front brake is an 8 pot caliper if I'm not mistaken. The rotor has massive swept area and is great for the street. The racers are having to tweak them a bit.
Overall I think they are a very good value for a very unique bike.
Yea, the more I look at the features and stuff I like it. Fuel economy on the dash, adjustable controls. Slipper clutch. 5.3 gal tank. Belt drive. One thing I want to know is fuel mileage for city and highway to give an idea of what it would get commuting. Another thing I want to know is major service intervals and how many miles people are actually putting on motors like these. But I guess you'd want to know that kind of information for any bike you'd like to buy.
I think I prefer the faired version. Is it also new?

One of my buddies picked up one of those this past winter and he loves it, says that it will wheelie in 3rd gear without clutch so he has to be careful, but very very fun.
