Overview

Introducing the 2010 Buell 1125CR Cafe Racer, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion, designed for those who crave the raw essence of the road. As part of the Naked bike category, the 1125CR stands as a testament to Buell's innovative engineering and distinctive styling. With a price tag of approximately $11,999—varying by country and additional accessories—this bike is positioned to attract both seasoned riders and newcomers looking for a blend of performance and character. Its cafe racer aesthetics, complete with a minimalist design and aggressive stance, evoke the thrill of classic racing while delivering modern performance. At the heart of the 1125CR is a potent 1125.86cc V-twin engine that churns out an exhilarating 146 horsepower at a high-revving 9,800 RPM. With a torque of 111.19 Nm available at 8,000 RPM, it provides impressive acceleration and a thrilling ride experience. The liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine features a sophisticated dual 61mm down draft throttle body fuel injection system, ensuring precise fuel delivery and responsiveness. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a hydraulic slipper clutch, the 1125CR offers smooth gear transitions and confident handling, making every ride an exhilarating affair. Its lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 170 kg (374.8 lbs), enhances maneuverability, allowing riders to carve through corners with ease, while the power-to-weight ratio of 0.8588 HP/kg ensures a spirited performance on both city streets and open highways. The 1125CR is packed with features that enhance its performance and riding experience. The black aluminium frame, which ingeniously houses the fuel, not only contributes to the bike’s sleek look but also lowers the center of gravity for improved handling. The advanced Showa suspension, featuring 47 mm inverted forks up front and a mono-shock setup in the rear, is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping, allowing riders to tailor their setup to their riding style and conditions. The ZTL2-type brake system, with its 8-piston caliper and 375 mm single-sided rotor, provides remarkable stopping power and control, ensuring riders can confidently navigate tight bends or sudden stops. With a fuel capacity of 20.06 liters (5.30 gallons), the 1125CR is ready for longer rides, making it a versatile option for both spirited jaunts and longer adventures. **
