Slandered Tesla, questioned the omnipotent wikipedia-based knowledge of one of the “editors”?

How do you like the 1125r? I always thought they looked great and wished I had some money to buy one when Buell went under. I know a couple guys who bought them at that time and got them for like 50% of MSRP.

You probably said something to offend one of the writers or editors. It happens from time to time. Unfortunately, I can’t imagine anyone on here can do much about it.

Surprised I’m not. I told David Tracy he’s the reason HOA’s exist. If it were PG I probably would’ve been perma-banned.

I like it alot. Mainly it’s different than the typical Jap bikes in my area. I was attracted to it because it was different, and it was an American sportbike.
I’ve got 600 miles on mine so far. I’ve got about 3/4 of an inch of chicken strip left on my 190/50 rear tire. Which is enough for me in the typical 45 degree ish weather I’ve been riding in so far.
I love the idiot harley owners who think it’s a Jap bike. They’ll be like “Get that jap crap outta here” Um, it’s a product owned by Harley, got a V twin, and was made in Wisconsin.
I’m waiting for the weather to break and then once it does, I’ll be leaned over in a corner somewhere with a go pro on my helmet, music in my ears and pissing off the neighborhood.
The price on them seems to float around 4k ish in my area(Ohio). I picked mine up for 2500 with 8k miles but it didn’t move under it’s own power. I’ve thrown a new slave cylinder on it, that also fixes the problem that these bikes are known for. New clutch, belt, full synthetic oil, all new fluids, pads and I’ve ordered a new rear tire, new K&N filter, spark plugs and I bought the more plushy Buell Select seat(aka the touring seat, has more padding than the cardboard and papertowel stock seat)
My current rear is on the TWI in the middle and the sides are fine. So previous owner spent alot of time riding straight up. Which coincides with his story of him being a new rider and this was his first bike.
Also went ahead and lined my “gas tank” or airbox cover with neoprene material similar to a diving suit. To help with vibrations on my junk.
Really just threw some new parts at it for my piece of mind, and to make sure it’s in great shape cuz I’ll be needing a new rear by the time the seasons over.
I typically ride about 3500-4500 miles a season which is enough for most sport tires to wear out.

Well it’s the truth. Some people want a nice neighborhood. Sure some HOA’s take it a bit far, but most are just there to keep the neighborhood looking nice for everyone to enjoy.

Which Buell you got? I promise I TPS reset mine before every ride, and if I wreck it I know I gotta part it out.

Used to be able too back before it become oppo.kinja.com back when it was oppo.jalopnik.com.
Thats when people over here claimed they were writers over on Jalopnik and tried getting press cars. So they separated it.

Well Tesla is junk, and not everything on Wiki is true since it’s a community based knowledge pool.

I’m not sure which BMW’s are which.
Never saw a Buell in person until I went and looked at mine. Fell in love on the first ride.
