The Buell Motorcycle company has recently announced that it is planning on raising the prices on it’s 2009 model year 1125R and 1125CR bikes. The M.S.R.P. for the 1125R will go up $504 in price to $12,499 for that model. The 1125CR models price will increase $304 to $11,999 per bike. If you were thinking about buying one of these bikes you better hurry because the price hike goes into effect on New Years Day.

Remember a few years ago when NASA sent a multi-national satellite to Mars only to watch it crash into the planet instead of orbiting it. It was discovered that someone had forgotten to convert some critical guidance calculations from metric to U.S. measurements. That little goof cost the taxpayers 125 million dollars.

For lovers of the American sport bike company, Buell has introduced the Triple 25 Incentive program for prospective buyers of the 1125R models. Eligible buyers can purchase any new untitled 1125R by putting only $25 down on the bike. The remainder of the cost of the bike can be financed for up to 48 months through Eaglemark Savings Bank. Only buyers with Tier 1-4 credit approval are eligible.
