Good work finding that so fast....
Eric B. has been working on stuff for several years he just was Screwed over by HD & binded legally in several ways after they shafted him. The writing was on the wall after he went to the Rotax motors. He could not use his name for a bike brand or even build a bike for sale for 3yrs I believe. Thus the initials were used on the high end race bikes he produced as soon as the time limit lapsed but who could really afford them? HD did him dirrrrty & did not want the competition really just out of hurtfully spite after the forced split/blindside.A friend of my neighbour has an 1125R, it spends more time being flat bedded home than riding. I'd see him broke down on the side of the road all over the place, it got to be a thing of conversation when I stopped to see if he was OK.
Good looking bike but had lots of gremlins.
Wow I had no idea. I was always fond of the buell bikes.Eric B. has been working on stuff for several years he just was Screwed over by HD & binded legally in several ways after they shafted him.

You did make the right choice....the 1125R looked good and that was about it. It reminded me of a '70s 2 stroke, when it was running it was great but that was the trick to keep it running.I was kicking myself for not grabbing an 1125R when buell went under, almost to the point of wanting to sell the busa, you've made me believe I made the right choice (it was brand new for 7k otd)
