I am thinking of returning to the fold with an 1125.

Can anyone give me info good and bad on the model. Ps I know about the master cylinder probs.

Thanks

What master cylinder probs?

I'd recommend buying an 08 anniversary model thats done a few miles. It won't have any stater problems and everything else should have been sorted.

R or CR ?

If you're going to use it for commuting then I would recommend a CR with the upright bars.

I prefer my R for longer distances as it is geared differently.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had a sit on a cr at woods Abergele today but the position is too cramped for my arthritic knee.

Ps you must like the 1125 cos usually feedback packs a punch!

Mines up for sale, R model, very well maintained, everything has been replaced inc front camshaft.

You can fit XB lightning or Uly pegs with a 1 inch drop to give you a little more legroom - got them on both of mine as I have a dodgy knee from an accident I had a few years ago - 1 inch doesn't sound much but it makes a difference, you can even get aftermarket pegs from the States with 2 inches of extra legroom.

Why did it need a front camshaft? Is this a common failure?

Heart says MV F4. Always wanted one.

Head says R1

Which means either the Buell won't sell or I'll get a Superduke

Tuono?

Nice

I've bought a new zx10r.

Asking same price £3500, yes front cam shaft is a common problem on early bikes. Mines done 1000 miles this year, all fluids replaced before season start, full strip down was under gone over winter. There is a Yamaha R1 twin disc set up on my bike.

If you want a standard bike mine is not the one for you, it also has full custom paint job.
