Buell 1125R | Motorcycle Review

Today I got to ride something super unique! The Buell is a nice piece of American V Twin on a sport chassis that screams to be opened up! This was definitely a fun ride and I hope it answers any questions you have going into liter bikes! 1000cc sport bikes are super fun ;)

[@MoistGringo]

Absolutely love the video!!! Thanks for reviewing my bike man!!! Sooo my assessment of why it shut off is because of the tuning it has... The bike I believe is running super rich and nobody out here can tune that bike which is killing me... I’m working on finding a tuner still...

[@REVSANITY]

You’re more than welcome dude! Loved it! And that makes a lot of sense. I feel like you’ve told me that before so it all makes sense now

[@jamesbarros950]

The engine is a rotax. Check out any shop that works on snowmobiles or jet-ski's which also use Rotax engines. They may be able to help you out.

[@dvfast21]

Contact IDS (Intelligent Design Solutions). You can have them tune your ECM or buy a new one tuned to that exhaust from them

[@fvgc454ss]

Buell tooth, data log a run, send it to IDS and they can tune you oem computer if u sent it to them. Its around 100$

[@gibgob3094]

I’m curious what brand exhaust you have on there

[@motomattman1878]

It's a shame that after taking over Buell, that Harley kinda tossed them aside. Promoting that line more might have brought new young customers to Harley. Just my 2 cents.🤘

[@REVSANITY]

Yea absolutely. That’s the nasty part of big corporations unfortunately. No matter how much the customers want differently sometimes

[@captainamerica9353]

motomattman , Cycle World had a series of articles about the whole Buell fiasco after HD axed them in 2009-10. Buell was always treated like crap and given a low budget, so they were not developed all that well and had a lot of QC and recalls to deal with. Meantime the dealers hated Buell because they wanted to sell you an HD with $4K of chrome added on. And just as they were getting better, with the XB12's and 1125's, HD brought in the CEO of Johnson Outboards who killed Buell for good. All very sad.

[@RebuildableRyan]

As a 29 year old riding a Aprilia Millie, I’d would love to see new buells rolling off the line. Would love to have one

[@alienracer3391]

Well harley are wankers! 👽

[@josephedwards8992]

Right, but harley limited them in what they could do power wise with the Harley engines……. Now if they made a buell firebolt with a motor from a 1125r in it. That thing would fly.

[@2wheelfamily493]

Awesome review I just bought a wrecked Buell 1125 for $200 me and my wife are bringing her back to life.

I started on the 250 and moved after just two or three months to the 08 buell 1125R No regrets.

[@yopacific]

Today I’m picking up a 2008 1125R. Bike is minty and signed by Eric B. Stage 1 tune and Barker muffler. Original owner is from Wisconsin and toured the Buell factory. What. A. Machine.

[@danielsims9119]

How you like the bike?

[@drasticthompson1995]

I picked up a 2017 EBR1190RX last Friday. I love it, nothing like anything I have ever ridden! 1125 CR will be next as my comfy cruiser to ride my kids on. Stay safe out there!

[@lologrl808]

That shut off had me like “😳”

[@REVSANITY]

Right?! Def was not expecting that lol

[@dvfast21]

I got a 2009 1125cr. 4th Buell and love em all, but the Rotax engine is the best. Once HD finally let him outsource the engine he was able to make a true v-twin stud. Then a new HD CEO shut them down because they didn't fit the image of Harley. Stupid decisions.

[@dvfast21]

@revsanity subbed as well

[@REVSANITY]

Dude thank you for the sub! And yea man this bike is an absolute beaut. Funny how Harley never saw the FXDR coming 👀👀 talk about “fitting the image.” Lol

[@dvfast21]

@@REVSANITY if I was gonna buy a cruiser (and my back keeps asking me to) it'd be the FXDR. I can get down with the vision on that bike HD is finally figuring out what they had, and should have maintained a decade ago by introducing the Pan America (Buell Ulysses) and Bronx (all other Buells). Then they said nah on the Bronx lol.

[@captainamerica9353]

The new CEO was a non-biker jerk who used the excuse of O'Bummer's Recession to shut down Buell and "focus on better profits" )i.e., selling overpriced cruisers and chrome. And there was more to the story but Buell got screwed.

[@yamomsballs]

And now they're struggling to "entice younger buyers" and just doing exactly what Buell already was

[@nateschroeder109]

I have one of these with a keda rt3 from dean adams. With the ebr ecu for the exhaust it changes the bike completely. It will cruise at a lower rpm without bucking like being able to go 30 in 3rd gear vs 2nd gear in stock form. Complete animal with just those mods. Turns heads everywhere. Always have people asking about it and leaves most bikes in the dust if you can manage the wheel spin and keep the front end down

[@basedWisco715]

This. My 1125 was almost unrideable when I got it, it would buck at low speeds and ran hot. The IDS ECM and barkers exhaust turned it into a completely different bike, never runs hot and it’s smooth at all speeds now

[@danielsims9119]

I need that ebr ecu

@@REVSANITY I had one for a while, most terrifying bike I've ever owned. Loved it to death. I feel kinda like Jeremy Clarkson and his curmdgenly trying to deny that his GT500 was an American car. But this was the last year for Erik at HD. He was using the Rotax in the 1125R and check out what he did with the 2010 Blast. www.motorcycledaily.com/2009/08/12august09smashedblast/ He raced for yamaha for years before he set out to make the American sport bike. I appreciate the things EBR is doing now (Erik Buell Racing) but it's not the right bike for me. Thank you for making the video and sharing =)

[@williampetrey662]

The exhaust looks to be a Dean Adam's-Keeda RT4...the backfire you have is because the ECM is not tuned for that specific exhaust. Thus...is stalling on ya. I have one...awesome bike and super fun. You can download a free app called ECM Droid and get the BUELLTOOTH.COM wireless dongle for the ECM and re-map fueling and other things. Great video

I just saw a Buell 1125 R of 2009 with 600 miles for $7,999. It’s with an Harley Davidson dealership here in Phoenix AZ and I am so interested with this bike to buy. Your review is very helpful to me, especially for a rider like me who’s 6,1 tall and worried about the bike to be too uncomfortable or not suitable for tall drivers. Any other tips or feedback from you would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

[@basedWisco715]

Funny discussion in the second half of the video- I bought my ‘08 1125r in 2013, it was a dealership holdover and had ~500 miles on it. It was my first street bike, and looking back now I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s incredibly capable, and I was able to learn how to ride on it but also grow into it as I got better. Ive been in a few situations over the years that I believe I would have put a lesser bike down in, but this bike is the equivalent of fast twitch muscles and can handle whatever you throw at it. I’ve also never grown tired of it’s power. I still love it more every time I ride it, almost 10 years later. It’s also been surprisingly reliable. Besides the first belt breaking, I’ve done nothing but maintenance and a few minor performance mods Would I recommend you get an 1125r as your first bike? Nah, probably not. But, it worked out for me. And I was an idiot at 20 years old when I bought it 😂
