A marque that didn't exist 40 years ago, Buell travelled a long way in a relatively short time before its recent sad demise. Founded by Erik Buell, the company established its own unique brand image, building a range of Harley-Davidson-powered sports bikes combining the Milwaukee twin's traditional 'stump pulling' torque with a state-of-the art chassis possessing the dimensions and geometry of a Grand Prix 250. As Buell production steadily increased so did Harley-Davidson's stake in the company, which it would come to own outright.
But Buell knew he could not rely on H-D's traditional (some would say outdated) technology forever. What would turn out to be Buell's last throw of the dice, the all-new 1125R was announced in July 2007. BRP-Rotax of Austria supplied the engine: a double-overhead-camshaft 8-valve liquid-cooled 72-degree v-twin displacing 1,125cc and producing 146bhp. Sadly for Erik Buell, Harley's new management had no faith in the Buell brand and pulled the plug in October 2009. This rare Buell 1125R has had only two private owners from new and has covered a mere 85 miles in total. Last run towards the end of May 2021 and described by the vendor as in 'virtually new' condition, the machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and all its original documentation.
