Buell 1125R sportsbike unveiled

Rotax powerplant replaces Harley lump in new machine

Buell 1125R...sleek design and new Rotax engine

US BIKE manufacturer Buell has unveiled its new high-tech sport bike, the 2008 1125R, armed with an engine built by Rotax - not Harley-Davidson.

The Buell 1125R Helicon engine is a new 1,125cc, double-overhead cam v-twin, the first liquid-cooled engine to power a street-legal Buell.

Designed to Buell specs and built by Austria's BRP-Rotax, it is rated at 146 horsepower, with a 10,500 rpm redline.

It reportedly puts out 82 ft-lbs of torque through a six-speed transmission, and weighs a claimed 375 lbs.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price is a reported $11,995.

The 1125R is expected at US dealerships late this year and UK dealers early 2008.
