Without a doubt the Geico RMR Buell 1125R shaper more focused motorcycle around the racetrack, yet, it’s still not that different from a production 1125R.
The only difference between the No. 34 Geico RMR Buell 1125R that Michael Barnes pilots and the one we rode was the tires. Barnes runs spec Dunlop Sportmax rubber, while the bike we rode was shod with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa racing tires.
The racebike featured steering cups that altered chassis rake out by 1-degree (from 21-degrees) in order to aid high-speed stability.
Updated handlebar and foot controls push the rider towards the front of the motorcycle thereby increasing cornering performance.
The Geico RMR racebike’s powerband is not only broader but it hits harder too.
Overall feel—especially at the front-end is another area where the racebike is significantly improved over a stock machine.
It’s unreal just how efficiently the 1125R racebike puts its power down to the pavement.
This $1779 Chain Drive Swingarm Kit (part no. G0625.08AZ) replaces the 1125R’s production swingarm and belt final drive.

Imagine being in a blurred green time warm, that’s how you could describe zooming down one of Road America’s forested straightaway’s on Buell’s 1125R sportbike.
One of the biggest differences between a production and racing version of the 1125R is its braking performance.
One of the biggest attributes of Buell’s new 1125R is just how easy of a motorcycle it is to pilot around the racetrack.
$25,000, some paint and some Dunlop Sportmax tires and you too can have yourself a Daytona SportBike-spec Buell 1125R.
