Comments from the dealer
The demise of Buell as a production bike manufacturer has instantly made all Buell models, including the 1125CR, collectables. Enthusiasts aren't salting them away just yet, but expect Buell's street bikes to be commanding decent prices in a decade's time. Of course, the best bit about an "investment" like the 1125CR is that it's one you can get on and enjoy as often as you like while it grows in value!
After the flack über-American Harley-Davidson got for developing the XR1200 solely for the European market, why would its Buell subsidiary introduce the 1125CR in Berlin? Simple. Buell sells half of its motorcycles in Europe, and café racers (the CR in the model name) were born there. And part of West Berlin was a bastion of American idealism in Soviet-controlled East Germany for four decades. So it’s got that going for it, which is nice.
The 1125CR get targeted fuel injectors, relocated oxygen sensors and new spark and fuel maps. These tweaks are aimed at improving drivability, throttle response, heat management and fuel economy. Other than that, the 1125R is unchanged and the 1125CR stands apart in only a few ways. A flyscreen replaces the bulbous front fairing, clubman bars take the place of clip-ons, a rear seat cowl has been added and final gearing is lower for quicker acceleration.
The 1125CR continued the Buell "Trilogy of Tech" principles. In theory, this consisted of: mass centralization; low unsprung weight; and frame rigidity. In practice, mass centralization was achieved through features like the underslung exhaust and in-frame fuel tank design. Low weight was achieved the use of light weight components like the all-aluminium frame and "painted" body components that were actually colour-impregnated plastic. Frame rigidity was achieved through the overall design of the Buell's distinctive, chunky-looking frame, and enhanced through the use of rubber engine mounts. In combination, these elements delivered improved handling, performance and rider control. That was the theory anyway, but it was one that the 1125CR continued to uphold.
