Buell Motorcycles got the jump on its foreign rivals unveiling its 2009 superbikes, with the American company unveiling the new Buell 1125CR.

If you want the sweet and condensed version of what the new 1125CR is, look no further than Buell chairman and chief technical officer, Eric Buell, who says of the new 2009 design:

“Part superbike and part streetfighter, the 1125CR is my vision of a 21st century cafe racer. It’s got Clubman-style bars and a flyscreen instead of a fairing. Then we geared it down to optimize acceleration. With a class-leading Weight: -to-horsepower ratio, the 1125CR takes streetfighter performance to a new level.”

The new machine incorporates the same liquid-cooled 1125cc Buell Helicon V-Twin powering its superbike kin – the 1125R. Internally, however, the Engine: (in both machines) has been tweaked for ’09 with “targeted fuel injectors, relocated O2 sensors and updated Engine: spark and fuel maps.”

Buell claims the Engine: mods improve sub-6000rpm performance, with better throttle response, fuel economy and heat management. (The new spark and fuel mapping will be available for 2008 1125Rs.)

As a Buell, the 1125CR features all the usual Buell-esque Engine: ering i.e. the underslung muffler, fuel-in-Frame: chassis (5.3 gallons in the Buell Intuitive Response Chassis), and the ZTL2 (Zero Torsional Load) Front Brakes: . The new Buell also features fully-adjustable Showa components, a 47mm fork and rear shock absorber.

From a visual standpoint, the CR is easier on the eyes than its R sibling. With a pared down front end from the windscreen and narrower headlamp pod, the CR looks sleeker. Available in the same black scheme as the R, the CR looks quite fetching in red.

The Buell Blast is a motorcycle any rider will enjoy. This lightWeight: single inspires confidence in beginners, yet offers enough power and refined agility to satisfy the performance expectations of the most experienced motorcyclist. Easy to own and maintain – and easy on fuel at 68 miles per gallon – the Buell Blast is a fun and economical way to get around town or down the highway.

Built for the Real World
The Blast is powered by a reliable, 492cc air-cooled, single-cylinder Engine: that makes 34 horsepower and offers a broad powerband for easy starts and brisk acceleration, and ample power for highway riding. The muffler is located below the Engine: to promote a low center of gravity and keep the exhaust away from the legs of the rider and passenger.

The Year: is 1985. A young ambitious Engine: er has recently quit a nice job at Harley Davidson to launch a company building AMA formula 750 race bikes. He mortgages the house and hocks everything he has to produce the first one. Cycle Magazine does a major feature on the bike, all the other bike magazines run nice pieces on it. He is off and running.

Then the AMA drops the class. Overnight there is no market for these bikes. The Engine: er goes broke.

Everyone knows that American cars come in all shapes and sizes. But to most people, American motorcycles come in only one form, the Harley-Davidson cruiser. What a great sound. But this seems to leave patriotic bikers who want something a bit more sporting out in the cold. At least it would, if not for a small, Wisconsin-based company called Buell. Their motorcycles are as American as apple pie, but are not so much cruisers, as cruise missiles.

When most riders first encounter the Buell S1 White Lightning, they think it’s something radically new. But in reality, it’s only the latest of a long line of Harley-Davidson-powered sport machines that former Harley Engine: er, Erik Buell, has been building since 1987.
