As Erik Buell's vision of a modern day cafe racer, the Buell ® 1125CR blends class-leading performance with sinister styling and a wicked attitude to push the boundaries of the streetfighter category.
Buell Lightning models and the new 1125CR^TM are at the core of what Buell is all about - pure performance with a broad, seamless power delivery in a stripped down, raw and aggressive package.
Each Buell model is designed utilizing the Buell Trilogy of Technology^TM - chassis rigidity, centralized mass, and low unsprung weight - to produce a motorcycle which responds instantly to rider input.
The Buell 1125CR has optional flat bars become standard, further differentiating the CR from the R. New graphics help reduce the visual weight of the huge side pods, while the new black and white color scheme really helps improve the looks. Like the R, there's also a new sight glass on the engine case for easier oil-level checks. There's also a battery tender plug integrated into the wiring harness.
