IMO the older the RC the better. Colin Edwards is my hero! 
As for the 1125r.. I love it.. In fact I almost bought the CR this year. The Rotax motor was the best thing Buell had going and then it ended as fast is it started.. It's a shame. I wouldn't buy one now, who knows what can happen once a company goes under.
Wouldn't buy another 08 cbr1krr either.. Mine burned oil pretty bad and everyone I know personally with one has the same problem. Honda told me it was just the way it is... BS.. I'll wait till they put the oil rings back on the pistons and then maybe I'll buy another one.. |
on colin edwards: hes the fkn man on the rc. i love watchin his old races. he needs to get back to superbike racing where he was more aggressive. hes not aggressive enough with his tactics in motogp in my opinion.
and funny you should mention the burning oil. i was jus on fireblades.org reading a thread about that very thing. what a shame.
