Buell Sportbikes Take a Dark Turn for 2009 The primal
nature of the Buell sportbike is darkly sculpted in
style for 2009 with new black components such as the
Phantom Metallic frame and swingarm with blacked-out
footpeg mounts and heel guards. Buell 1125R. Continuing
to help redefine the superbike category, the 2009
Buell 1125R is powered by the 1125cc liquid-cooled
72-degree V-Twin Heliconengine generating 146 crank
hp and 82 ft. lbs. / 111 Nm of peak torque.
With a foundation built on the core Buell Trilogy
of Technology creating optimum performance, the 1125R
remains just as true to Buell’s original sense
of sportbike style and design. In addition to new
blacked-out chassis components, the 2009 Buell 1125R
adds a variety of styling and design cues, including
Racing Red and Arctic White bodywork colours and new
graphics schemes. Wheels also receive new translucent
colours of Velvacoat Black with the Racing Red and
Midnight Black bodywork and Hero Blue with the Arctic
White bodywork. A new tinted windscreen (Hero Blue
on the Arctic White bodywork and Smoked on the Racing
Red and Midnight Black), leads the way on the 1125R,
while there is a new gear position readout that can
easily be scrolled to read with digital display on
the instrument cluster.
A high-output alternator has increased capacity for
accessory use and a slider bobbin to support a track
stand has been added to the swingarm for easier maintenance.
The front wheel rides on fully adjustable Showa 47
mm upside-down forks, while the Buell ZTL2 front brake
has an eight-piston caliper. A smooth-shifting six-speed
transmission works with a HVAS (Hydraulic Vacuum Assist
Slipper) clutch that uses engine vacuum for easy clutch-lever
action. Quiet Zone aerodynamics optimise air flow
around the rider for enhanced race bike performance
and rider comfort. The fairing shape is inspired by
the Buell XBRR and features four-bulb headlamps, while
turn signals are integrated into the mirror housings.
The Buell 1125R is offered in Midnight Black or Racing
Red with Velvacoat Black wheels, or Arctic White with
Hero Blue wheels.
