All new 2008 Buell 1125R

The Buell Motorcycle Company concerning the first liquid-cooled Buell street machine. The 2008 1125R will deliver a claimed 146 crankshaft horsepower from a newly designed 1125cc DOHC V-twin developed in conjunction with BRP-Rotax. Buell states the 1125R will be available in dealerships in late 2007.





The Buell 1125R offers an athletic riding position. Quiet Zone aerodynamics are achieved by managing air flow around the rider for enhanced performance and comfort. The toe levers on both the brake and shift foot controls are adjustable to match rider foot size. The instrument cluster features a large analog tachometer and a digital speedometer, plus an Onboard Diagnostic Information System (O.D.I.S.) screen and other interactive features. The fairing shape is inspired by the Buell XBRR and features six-bulb headlamps. LED turn signals are integrated into the mirror housings.





The Buell 1125R is available with Midnight Black bodywork, Diamond Blue wheels, Diamond Blue frame and swingarm, and Fusion Bronze engine trim.
