Great looking bad-weather-bike you've got there! I always have another bike in the garage when I start craving a Buell, and can't ever find the right mix of low mileage and straight body. Were you looking for this bike in particular while you were shopping?

I've always really liked the 1125cr. I was actually looking at the XB series bikes because of the more affordable prices and the fact there are a lot more to choose from, but I came across this 1125 with only 5900 miles on it, and was able to get it for 3800 bucks! It needed tires, new headlight bulbs, and it has a few cosmetic imperfections, but for the price it was too good a deal to pass up I thought. I'm in love so far.

If you get the Barker exhaust for it opt for the quiet core. Ask me how I know.

Haha I can imagine. I'm definitely afraid to get something too loud, but I'd really like to get a little more sound out of it. I just don't want to irritate my neighbors.

Outrageously clean

It's got a little road rash here and there, but it only has 6500 miles on it. 5900 when I bought it! Couldn't believe the deal I got on it either.

So if I hadn't mentioned it as "my new" bike this wouldn't have been removed? Sorry, but there is no megathread for this at the moment. What am I supposed to do? Sorry for trying to be a part of the sub!

It may still have been removed under the "stock bike in simple location" rule. Generally speaking we have fairly rigid rules regarding photos of stock (or mostly stock) bikes on this sub - while we do enjoy seeing them, there are quite a number of people on this sub, and when we let everybody post pictures of their bikes, the sub tends to get flooded with identical-looking photos of motorcycles in driveways/garages. Unfortunately creating a rule that allows people to share images of their motorcycle without simultaneously flooding the sub has been a difficult task. The current ruleset may be flawed in some ways, but it has proven to be the best solution thus far.
Sorry, but there is no megathread for this at the moment.

Passive-aggressive comments aren't necessary. We understand that you are frustrated - we all want to show off our new bikes, but it's important to remember that this is r/motorcycles, not /r/motorcyclesphotogallery.
Ask yourself for a moment - how many near-identical pictures of somebody's new Ninja 300 would you have to see before you got tired of r/motorcycles? 5? 10? 20? The truth is that for the average user, that number isn't very high. When we let this kind of content rule the sub, engagement and subscriptions drop rapidly. What's worse - people who submit genuinly interesting and unique content that they worked hard to produce, it doesn't get the visibility it deserves because it's lost in a sea of cell-phone photos of motorcycles everybody has seen before.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers

Looks great, appears to be bone stock other than the tidy tail.
If it doesn't have it yet, get the Race ECM, it wakes up the bike and cures the low RPM fueling issues.
Yeah I put the plate holder on first thing when I got it. The stock plate holder was broken, and... not pretty to look at! Lol
I'll definitely be looking into the EBR tune. Everything I've read about it makes it seem like a no brainier!
Yep it really does, even with the stock exhaust. They run OK stock, but once you run the Race ECM you will see how much the EPA was choking it.
IDSPD.com has the ECMs a little cheaper than EBR, and even offers a reflashing service so you don't need to buy a new ECM. IDS is the OEM company that made all the Buell (and EBR) stock ECMs.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Since the bike is so close to stock I have to ask, do you know if anything was changed regarding the charging system?
The charging system is the biggest weakness of the 09s, the stator doesn't get sufficient cooling in typical street riding and will fail if not dealt with.
The fix is to replace the magneto/rotor cup that attaches to the crankshaft, EBR has a modified version that allows for proper oil cooling and the 1190s use that setup stock. EBR has an exchange service where you get a modified rotor, you install it and send back your original one and the core charge is refunded.
