In July 2007, [[Buell]] announced the 1125R, a [[sport bike|sportbike]] which departed from Buell's history of using [[Harley-Davidson Sportster]] based middle weight powertrains and tapping into the XBRR racing bike learnings. The Rotax powertrains uses four valves per cylinder, dual over-head cam, liquid-cooled 72 degree V-Twin displacing 1,125 cc and producing 146hp. It produces 83ft-lbs of peak torque but varies less than 6ft-lbs of torque from 3,000 to 10,500 rpm. There is a vacuum assist [[slipper clutch]] to give predictable drive performance in hard cornering and deceleration and a 6-speed transmission. | In July 2007, [[Buell]] announced the 1125R, a [[sport bike|sportbike]] which departed from Buell's history of using [[Harley-Davidson Sportster]] based middle weight powertrains and tapping into the XBRR racing bike learnings.

The 1125R did not have a full fairing, as that would have put it in the same class as Japanese sportbikes.<ref name="cw0510" /> Erik Buell agonized over this, saying "it's not about listening to the voice of the customer."<ref name="cw0510" /> Cycle World said the 1125R was "a bit of an oddity."<ref name="cw0510" /> The bike was initially released with a crude spark map, leading to criticism of the bike at low speeds.<ref name="cw0510" /> The Rotax engine also ended up costing significantly more by production time due to fluctuation in exchange rates.<ref name="cw0510" /> | The 1125R did not have a full fairing, as that would have put it in the same class as Japanese sportbikes.<ref name="cw0510" /> Erik Buell agonized over this, saying "it's not about listening to the voice of the customer."<ref name="cw0510" /> Cycle World said the 1125R was "a bit of an oddity."<ref name="cw0510" /> The bike was initially released with a crude spark map, leading to criticism of the bike at low speeds.<ref name="cw0510" /> The Rotax engine also ended up costing significantly more by production time due to fluctuation in exchange rates.<ref name="cw0510" /> | ||
