The Buell 1125CR – a 21st century Caf racer that defies conventions and redefines the streetfighter category. With its Clubman-style bars, flyscreen, and sleek design, this American-made superbike embodies the essence of Eric Buell’s vision for a modern classic. The liquid-cooled 1125cc Helicon V-Twin engine, shared with the 1125R, has been tweaked to deliver improved sub-6000rpm performance, better throttle response, fuel economy, and heat management.

Key highlights include a class-leading weight-to-horsepower ratio, optimized gearing for acceleration, and advanced engineering features such as an underslung muffler and ZTL2 front brakes. The Buell Intuitive Response Chassis provides exceptional stability, while the fully-adjustable Showa components ensure precise handling. With its aggressive styling and potent engine character, the 1125CR is a thrilling ride that will leave even the most seasoned riders grinning from ear to ear.

As you twist the throttle on this incredible machine, the Buell Helicon V-Twin unleashes a torrent of power, producing 146 peak horsepower at 9800 rpm and 82 ft. lbs. of torque at 8000 rpm. The result is an exhilarating riding experience that’s as much about raw excitement as it is about precision engineering.
