Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve no doubt heard about Eric Buell’s latest release for the 2008 model year, the 1125R. And if you’ve had a chance to check out the spec sheet you’ll know that unlike previous versions, the Sportster based engine has been replace by a fire-breathing 146HP @10,500 Rpm Rotax engine. Now I know there’s a lot of you purists out there are saying ….”But it aint a Harley”. Well, I was a little squeamish on that too but….146HP…10500 Rpm….F@#K around…. How can you not want to chop that? Unforskinatley, with the first ones just hitting the showroom floors, it may be a while before any bent ones start finding their way onto Ebay. I for one will be keeping an eye out though. I haven’t had a chance to see one in the flesh yet, but all that will change next week when I go to the Vancouver Motorcycle show. I’ll be posting full review when I return.
