Waiting to be unveiled.

Tada!

Glen Appleton, Sales Manager at Bumpus proudly shows off the 1125R with another Bumpus employee. Glen is an 1125R expert and has even ridden this bike at Barber.

The bike that should finally offer legitimate competition to the Japanese sportbikes.

Note the second to last line... 130HP @ rear wheel.

The fairing has great lines. It looks like a a variation on the Firebolt fairing but to me is much more aesthetically pleasing.

Side mounted radiators sport these big air scoops. Mounting the radiators on the side of the 1125R allowed them to move the engine farther forward which in turn allowed for a short (and quick-turning) wheelbase of only 54.5 inches.

Front signals are mounted in the mirrors.

The heart of the 1125R... a 72-degree Rotax "Helicon" V-Twin.

Reports say that this engine was in development and testing for about three years.

Appointments are low-key... a positive thing in my book. Oh, and the bike comes in only one color... black.

The rear suspension was designed to be mounted off-set, to the side in order to improve air-flow. Everything on this bike is thoroughly engineered...

... and it looks great to boot.

I love the lines from the fairing and down around the radiator scoops. It just looks fast.

A cockpit view.

Digital speedo and idiot lights with a mechanical tach. Red-Line at about 10.6k.

In regular Buell fashion... a big huge front rotor for stopping power.

Double Barrel exhaust pipes provide a very distinct sound.

A huge stop light in the rear.

Hmmm... I want one!
