Hide-Out, please.
The website's info on the 1125CR is nearly identical to the 1125R's, but for completeness' sake I'll post it.
Responsiveness:
Buell Intuitive Response Chassis (IRC)
The Intuitive Response Chassis (IRC) is the stiffest we’ve ever built, resulting in a bike that’s better able to hold a line with minimal flexing or bending. Constructed of lightweight aluminum, it responds to aggressive riding with precision and predictability, delivering an unprecedented amount of rider feedback, regardless of road conditions.
Frame and swing arm
A new longer cast-aluminum swing arm design optimizes the suspension geometry with the lower final drive gearing. Its pivot shaft is carried in the engine cases to create a stiff connection between the rear wheel and the rest of the chassis. Slider bobbin added to the swingarm for protection and use of a rear stand.
Fuel Capacity
With 5.3 gallons of fuel contained in the frame, as near to the center of mass as possible, the rider is able to spend more time on the road enjoying the 1125CR’s precision handling and less time at the fuel pump.
Front brake
Buell Zero Torsional Load (ZTL²) front brake utilizes a four-pad, eight-piston caliper inspired by the XBRR race motorcycle. A single 375mm rotor mounts directly to the rim producing outstanding stopping power. The caliper casting was optimized for torsional stiffness, yielding a more progressive and connected braking feel to the rider. The rim-mounted design eliminates the need for load-bearing spokes or even a second disc, resulting in a front end assembly that is significantly lighter than competitive designs.
Front suspension
To match the stiffness of the main chassis, the 1125CR uses a fully adjustable 47 mm Showa® inverted fork, contributing to superior feel and greater feedback. Spring rates and damping are optimized for agility and responsiveness.
Exhaust
Exhaust cans are heavy. It doesn’t make sense to hang them up high and off the back of the bike. Our underslung exhaust – a Buell staple since 1985 – concentrates the weight underneath the chassis to provide greater Mass Centralization. The result is a clean, uncluttered look, improved flickability and superior handling. The 1125CR exhaust system features a large-volume muffler tuned to produce a linear horsepower and torque curve.
Rear suspension
The fully adjustable, piggyback-style Showa® monoshock lets you fine-tune the ride for your weight and riding style. Linklessly mounted to a pivot point placed forward on the engine case, it enhances rigidity while reducing squat during hard acceleration.
Tires
Pirelli® Diablo Corsa III tires feature a three-zone compound for optimum street and track use.
Rear Brake
The rear brakes utilize a two-piston caliper and a 240mm stainless steel rotor. The caliper is mounted directly to the inner surface of the swing arm, hidden from view. The caliper weighs 1.5 pound less than a typical carrier-equipped rear caliper system, reducing unsprung weight and complexity.
Steel Braided Brake Lines
Both rear and front brakes are fitted with steel braided brake lines for a better correlation of lever pressure to brake pressure resulting in improved brake feel.
6 spoke Cast Aluminum Wheels
With braking forces distributed through the entire rim due to the ZTL perimeter mounted brake rotor, the Buell 6-spoke front wheel can be made extremely light. This reduces steering inertia and unsprung weight for better handling on the less-than-perfect streets you’ll ride every day.
Immediate Throttle Response Belt drive
A unique constant-tension pulley eliminates slack in the driveline, resulting in smoother on/off throttle transitions no matter what position the swingarm is in. Clean, quiet and extremely strong, the Veyance Hibrex belt with Flexten Plus technology never requires adjustments of any kind. In addition, it weighs just 1.06 pounds, compared to drive chains that weigh four to five pounds.
