Review
The 2009 Buell 1125 CR Cafe Racer, like its successor, is aimed at riders who crave a raw and unfiltered riding experience. Its 1125.9cc V-twin engine pumps out a hefty 146 horsepower and 111.2 Nm of torque, resulting in strong acceleration and a distinctive engine feel. The 6-speed gearbox allows for precise gear selection, catering to both aggressive street riding and track use. A slightly lower seat height of 775mm compared to the 2010 model might make it more accessible to a broader range of riders. This Cafe Racer is equipped with a 47mm Showa inverted fork, fully adjustable for compression, rebound, and preload, offering precise handling and feedback. The ZTL2 front brake system, featuring a single 375mm disc and an 8-piston caliper, provides impressive stopping power. The 20.06-liter fuel tank provides a usable range for various riding scenarios. Built for experienced riders who appreciate a unique blend of performance and style, the Buell 1125 CR is a motorcycle that makes a statement. It's a machine that rewards skilled riders with an engaging and memorable riding experience, standing out from the mainstream with its distinctive character and performance.
