You should get in on them now. Buell's offering up to $5000 in rebates on the 1125/CR bikes and less on the lower end models. Do you guys think that the 1125 would be too big for a beginner bike?

There are some people who would be fine on a 1125 to start, but it'll end up eating most. Invest in sliders and protective gear with that $5000 that you aren't spending if you do end up purchasing it.

I had no problems basically starting out on a 1300. It fit me perfectly. But I guess it's not for everyone.

Not quite a motorcycle, but... I got bored this Christmas:

Each body panel was in at least 4 pieces, the motor was seized solid from being stored for at least 12 years straight in a warehouse, and it had been driven like a dirtbike for years before being parked. I think I may douche it up and ride it up to Taco Mac tomorrow...

Retail bikes yea. They'll still have a racing program though.

Recent ride over into the CZR. Got on kind of a back road (had to pee) and found this field. Normally, I'll pick someplace more private... But there were only cows watching. (None of them seemed too impressed with my equipment BTW)...

Has any had an experience with the MV Agusta Brutale? Thinking about picking up a new 1078RR when the new 1090 comes out early next year at a good discount...
