The 1125R, on the other hand....
Yes yes, I'm taking it easy through break-in.

You get all the top end rush of a 600 with the "fist of an angry god" torque of a twin.

Best of both worlds. Once the break in is done, you are gonna love that motor!



Make sure to set the suspension BY THE MANUAL. You can't set a Buell to "standard sportbike settings". It will make all the difference in the world.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm actually waiting until initial break-in is done to mess with my suspension.
I need more time to get a feel for the bike so I'll have a better idea what needs adjusting.
