Introduced in July 2007 for the 2008 model year, the 1125R was Buell’s sportbike foray with a Rotax 1,125cc V-Twin engine that produced a claim 146 horsepower.
In addition to moving away from Harley-Davidson Sportster engines, the 1125R had several features that were relatively rare at the time – fuel in frame, eight-piston front caliper on a perimeter rotor, belt final drive, and an under-engine exhaust.
One of the most distinctive features is the ZTL2 (Zero Torsional Load) front brake system, which features a gigantic 375mm disc and 8-piston calipers.
This example is VIN: 4MZHL04D393B01499. Per the seller, “I’m a Buell enthusiast and collector. The Buell Factory supported race team that received this motorbike from Harley-Davidson chose to move the business in a different direction and sold off their collection of Buell motorcycles in the 2015 time frame. I purchased this Buell, along with several others, and have had it in heated & cooled dry storage ever since. I need to rightsize my collection and am choosing to pass this rare Buell 1125R on to the next curator.”
