Hi everyone im now the proud owner of my first Buell 1125r, with a custom 'Bennetts' paintjob for Image design. Had my first blast on a reasonably dry scottish 'summers' day and was really impressed!!! The bike was great when opened up but handled like a snatchy pig when going through built up areas...is this a normal characteristic?

Welcome.
They don't like slow. Much like most performance V twins.

Definitely don't like slow...run like a splutterly spluttly thing... just have to cope with it until you can open it up again...

Welcome to buell and the forum, hope you enjoy the bike. Where abouts in Scotland are you?

Thanks guys, Im based in a wee town outside Glasgow called Airdrie! Look out for a 1125r decked out in a Bennetts insurance paintjob by Image design!!

Airdrie I know it well, I spent a lot of time in Monklands .

OH and I am originally from Wishaw.

Heres an older pic of my bike in all its glory!! Once ive had it cleaned I'll take some recent pics myself.

Wonder if that was Sheepy's bike. He had one just like it.

I thought the same thing when I saw the photo. Have not seen Martin since Em's day a few years back after a wet (but very enjoyable) week on the IOM.
