yea I dont know about an 1100. This 750 is badass enough lol. This one is one of the oil cooled bikes. I just have to get the left side fairings and the upper fairing ans windshield and it will be complete.

I don't have nearly as nice a bike as all you guys, but I do enjoy riding from time to time when I'm not working on the cars. I have a 1982 Yamaha Seca XS400, 400cc DOHC twin. I rebuilt the engine a year and a half ago after the cam chain broke and bent some valves etc. but otherwise have not had to do too much with it.

I rebuilt the engine a year and a half ago after the cam chain broke and bent some valves etc. but otherwise have not had to do too much with it. Bought a new bike this afternoon! Its the first vehicle I've ever owned new. Brand new 2008 Buell 1125R in black. Its got the new Rotax motor (not a Harley Motor) and at least to me is "Holy Shit" fast, but I am not accustomed to riding sport bikes so I don't have much to compare it to. I'll post pictures once I have some (been too busy riding to worry about finding a camera!). Amazingly enough it fits my 6'6" frame decently well (nothing else I've sat on came close in sportbikes). And with what these things are going for now, I really couldn't say no. $6200 from Wieblers, brand spanking new with not even 20 miles on it. |

Now you just need to resist the temptation to start moding it....aftermarket exhausts sound sweet as hell on those bikes!

Mine came with the fairings on the sides. Normal: With fairing:  The fairing looks slick, but hides some of the uniqueness of the bike. I may leave it on for a while and just change it up every now and then. |

I picked up a 2009 Ninja 250R today. I'm a beginner, so I'm looking to sharpen my skills on it before I go bigger.

Yeah this thing just fits me great. I'm short so you know how that goes.
I'm awaiting all my gear and helmet which are on order before I take it out. The break in is going to suck. They say in the book I have to keep it under 4,000 RPM for the first 500 miles which is only like 36 MPH in 6th. LOL

i wouldn't worry about that as much as to make sure you vary the rpm and throttle load. idling at lights and traffic is about the worst thing on a new motor. but these are basically indestructable
