    I stand corrected. Honda's 1000cc v-twin was racing against 1000cc inline 4's. They shoulda ran them with the 600's, they really coulda cleaned up!

    Yeah i know, it wasn't anything personal, just stating that it was doable back then. I think the RC-51 also makes about 140 hp like the 1125 does 8 years later

    ^^ But Honda has all that money for research and what not. HD/Buell is still five guys with $78 between them, working out of a shed.

    A succesful marketing campaign is more important the to higher ups at HD that a racing success. HD is becoming less of a motorcycle manufacturer and more of a "brand." Just an emblem to put on some trinket made in china. Its a shame, too. The company has such a rich history, and it's become a mockery of what it once was.

    OK, I'll play a long. (Actually I like where this is going.)

    AMA stands American Motorcycle Association.

    Next question.

    Your patriotism is flawed CPT America! The buell that "owned" the AMA (I'll get into how flawed that statment is later) has an Austrian motor! And wtf makes you think I'm a liberal? You're the one playing the role of the lefty by ignoring facts and basing your whole arguement on your feelings.

    BTW, where was your car built?

    I'm only rattling your cage.


    All I'm saying is you should support an american made motor cycle. Besides where is a majority of the bike made and assemble?

    I'll buy an American bike when they make one that is competitevly priced, performs well and is in line with my tastes. Until then, I'll ride a ZRX. A green one.

    I've heard from a few guys that have both Harley's and buells. there having a ride down to the plant i believe monday. and one of the guys coming down said he wanted to go down t the harley museum and burn his harley jacket. Thats how pissed off at harley some of these people are. I for one was just starting to like the 1125's minus those pods on the side they could look real nice. Even tho they are dirt cheap right now i still can't afford one

    How much are they used? I actually don't know a lot about them but think they look like a good platform to make a real modern cafe.

    I think the 1125's are still 7-8k for a used one. Not cheap by any means.
