BUELL launch 1125CR
31/07/2008 by info.
BUELL has debuted its 2009 model range with the launch of the 1125CR. It is described by the East Troy, Wisconsin company as “a modern interpretation of ‘café racer’ styling” and utilizes the Buell Helicon 1125 liquid-cooled V-Twin engine. It is one of nine models from Buell covering sports, Streetfighter and adventure bikes.
“Part superbike and part Streetfighter, the 1125CR is my vision of a 21st century café racer,” said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Buell Motorcycle Company. “It’s got Clubman style bars and a fly screen instead of a fairing. Then we geared it down to optimize acceleration. With a class-leading weight-to-horsepower ratio, the 1125CR takes Streetfighter performance to a new level.”
The second bike in the sportbike range is the 1125R, which uses the same Helicon engine as the 1125CR. For 2009 it is available in new body and wheel colors and with tinted windscreens.
Completing the sport range is the Firebolt XB12R, with a new blacked-out frame, swingarm, powertrain, forks and other components. It also features new high-performance Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires for ‘09.
In the Streetfighter range the XB Lightning XB12Ss and XB12Scg are powered by the Thunderstorm 1203 engine and gain Buell ZTL2 front brake with four-pad, eight-piston caliper, a design that debuted on the 1125R in 2008. The XB9SX has its seat lowered by 1.3in to 30.1in.
Making up the adventure sportbike line-up are the Ulysses XB12XT, Ulysses XB12X, and Ulysses Police XB12XP. The latter is a ’special duty’ motorcycle intended for government agencies and private security firms. It is supplied with a special wiring harness for easy installation of an ‘Emergency Response Kit’, which includes special compact, hard-shell top and side cases, a siren and LED police pursuit lamps.
Buell Blast completes the 2009 range and is powered by a 34hp, 492cc single-cylinder engine. For 2009, the Blast is offered in new Sunfire Yellow and Midnight Black, both with Stardust Silver wheels.
