It's a muscle-packed streetfighter with a distinct style – a style that Craig Jones, professional stuntman and a Guinness World Record holder for the world's longest stoppie (riding a bike on its front wheel for 266 metres at 210 kilometres per hour, the opposite of a wheelie), decided to try.
And the outcome was awesome as it hit the Dubai Autodrome track with raw power.
We are talking about the 170kg (dry) American street bike, the Buell 1125CR.
The bike's manoeuvrability seems tremendous – as if it has been designed to attack curves.
The seating position can be aggressive when you lean on it, but an upright stance gives an ex-tremely relaxed ride.
Jones, with some impressive burns and wheelies, de-monstrated the powerful acceleration of the liquid cooled 1125cc Helicon V-Twin engine developed by Rotax.
With 146 horsepower at 9800 RPM, the Buell 1125CR is the perfect streetfighter tool on the asphalt, especially when the traffic light turns green.
One of the most unique things about this machine is that the frame is actually a petrol tank.
The Buell's revolutionary front brake, made by a single 375mm rotor mount on the rim, four-pads and height pistons caliper provide better braking power.
The bike's scowling headlights can never make it invisible. In a word, it's just unique.
