Recent for sale threads woudl seem to indicate that CRs are selling for more than Rs. Is this right?

And if yes, what are your thoughts on why?

I would agree and would say that it comes down to two factors. Firstly the CR embodies more of the traditional Buell spirit, a naked streetfighter feel rather than a fairly focussed sports bike. The second is the number of machines available, the 1125R was available throughout the 2008 and 2009 model years whereas the 1125CR was only available for 2009 plus just a handful of 2010 models and Maz, Deep6 and I aren't letting go of them

If anyone is looking for a nice 1125CR I have just taken in a mint red 09 model, one owner, 2300 mls with Heated Grips, High Bars and Remus Exhaust priced at £4995 which has just had an annual service and includes a one year warranty

How many stators does the one year warranty cover?

Interesting question, Pash. I'll have to read the small print on the policy. Answer could be anywhere between none (sorry that's a consumable item!) to unlimited. My money is on the latter.

Don't like to tempt fate but I'm still running on the original although all of my riding tends to be on the open road rather than in town and I have had an EBR rotor fitted for the past 18 months

Does the one for sale come with an ebr style rotor would be far easier to sell if it did

If it sells, it shows they were an investment as they were cheaper than that new at the tail end of 2009...

I wonder how many 2010 models were actually sold in the UK - I heard that there were about 50 destined for the whole of Europe, and there have been at least 5 on here (including mine) plus another 1 or 2 on EBay.

IMNSHO CRs are a much better bet for day to day use so that is possibly why they are holding their prices - plus the fact that the R was panned by the press on its launch ...

Or it proves there's one born every minute or there are still people who don't know the value of something or that a tractor owner fancied a sports bike that he could still go to a HOG rally on and had some small change from furnishing his tractor in tweeting budgie parts to buy it.

Or it could just indicate that they have been a totally underated motorcycle that once you have owned one and used it you'l realise just how good they really are Values have been subdued by everybody saying that " well in 2009 you could buy them for X amount" where in fact what something sold for previously has no bearing on future values whether they increase or decrease.

This one was sold in March 2010 for £6000 by a dealer who was smart enough to sit on it. Sorry to say that the few we had we murdered out at <£5000 by December

Oh yes.......the warranty will cover the alternator but not the clutch seal

Is the clutch seal a consumable?

It's definitely not a broken mechanical part which is what a Mechanical Breakdown Insurance covers

What happens if you can't disengage the clutch?
