I was never into liter I4's...so I never even considered them. I've had an all Vtwin list for a year.

the XB is growing on me... but I think the 1125R is still the best looking Buell... but it needs some finishing touches to make it dead sexy... first trim down those scoops... and then... reduce the frontal area... fucker's got a bigger forehead than Tyra Banks!

I saw a review of the 1125R that said Buell fixed everything that was ever wrong with a Buell bike. The 1125R wants to be where you put it when you want it there and you can actually trail brake without standing it up in corners. Engine is smoother and it has a decent bubble of smooth air for the rider. MY NEXT BIKE! The $3k I'm getting from taxes are going to savings for it!

Ebbs...trust me. The huge front area is NICE when you are riding at track speed. There is NO air pushing you around.
