Hello from over the Severn Bridge.
As my main mile muncher, I'm on my 2nd BMW K1200S , a superb Sports Tourer, but for my other fun bike, I've always liked something a little different.
Over the years it's been a V Rod, Aprilia Tuono, and just recently a Benelli TnT 1130 , an insanely good ride, but broken down most of the time.
I saw a Buell 1125 R on a 2010 plate (2008 build) at Riders Cardiff last week, and took it out, very impressed, the grunt of the Aprilia ( both use the Rotax lump) with the focus of the Benelli.
Riders were *very* optimistic on the pricing, so I've sourced one through Autotrader, may have been a member here, a Red 09 with a GRP can and a cream coloured soft quilted seat....
Collecting it on Monday 20th coming.
I've done 2 track days at Cadwell in Lincolnshire on the Tuono & TnT , but both bikes faded a bit on the long back straight , more to do with the sitting up stance, getting too buffeted, I think this 1125 R should do the job!
I'm very excited about getting this, should turn a few heads at the coffee stop in the Beacons and Abergavenny Bus Station !
BTW, where can I get a stock black seat , just in case I find the soft cream one a bit....unmasculine !
Cheers,
