Anyone got any experience of the Buell 1125CR (Cafe Racer)?
I've been looking at ads for these and they're stupid cheap these days and from what I've read, any good too. Apparently they sorted the fuelling/hot running issues of the 1125R. The CR apparently handles well and makes 146bhp along with lovely low maintence/no mess belt drive. I even don't mind the looks.
On the down side I believe there are clutch issues on some. Anyway, has anyone actually had a go/owned one? If so is it any good or total pants? Is it comfy or torture?
I'm all eagerness to know....

His is the R. As to the ergos and leg room, I am 5'11" and I found it a little tight. You should definitely spend some time on the bike, if necessary stationary, but with your feet on the pegs before you buy it. I think it has been fairly reliable for him. His earlier one was less so and another friend's earlier model Buell Ulysses was CONSTANTLY breaking down.

Oh! one other thing, actually two. I think the claimed 146hp to be wildly optimistic, although it doesn't lack for power, and you have to be willing to live with those genormous air scoops towards the front.
