THE MACHINE DOESN’T COME FIRST…THE RIDER DOES.

The Buell® Sportbikes strike a unique balance of racetrack and real world performance. Their unique styling, aggressive ergonomics and premium components combine to deliver the ultimate, intuitive sport riding experience.

The Buell® 1125R™ is engineered to redefine the superbike, giving riders the performance they expect, with a healthy dose of attitude and exotic styling. Built from the rider down, every decision made over the course of its development was based on how effectively it would serve the rider.

The most important component on a motorcycle is always the rider. If that seems obvious, that's because it is. At least to us. It's why every decision made over the course of this motorcycle's development was based on how it would directly benefit the riding experience. The only innovations you'll find on the 1125R are the ones that make you smoother, quicker, nimbler or more comfortable. From its powerband to its ease of maintenance, it all exists for a reason. And that reason is you.
