2008 Buell 1125R
This thing is going to absolutely whip up on everything out there. (Except maybe the ZX14 in a straight a line above 100mph)
I have some riding time on a Firebolt XB12R and the only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it topped out at a mere 145mph, 150mph on a good day. It had awesome torque and ripped out of a hole like a raped ape after slicing up any corner you could throw at it better than any other bike I've ridden before. This 1125R seems to be quite an improvement to the XB12R. The XB12R has ~100HP and 70 tq (IIRC), so this is a huge jump in performance.
Some specs:
Liquid cooled Helicon 1125cc 72* V-Twin
6 speed - Straight cut gears (that's gonna make a nice little whine to it)
82 ft. lbs. @ 8000 RPM
146 HP @ 9800 RPM
10,500 RPM Redline
Lean angles -
Soft Contact, Right (5) 48°
Soft Contact, Left (5) 48°
Hard Contact, Right (5) 50°
Hard Contact, Left (5) 50°
Wheelbase - 54.6"
Intake:
Zero-resistance airbox, Pressurized RAM air intake
Exhaust:
Tuned, tri-pass resonance chamber with integral helmholtz tuning and mass-centralized mounting
Tires:
Type - Pirelli®
Front Diablo Corsa III (model)
120/70 ZR-17 (specifications)
Rear Diablo Corsa III (model)
180/55 ZR-17 (specifications)
Fuel Capacity 5.6 gal. (ALL FUEL IS STORED IN THE FRAME, WHILE OIL IS STORED IN THE SWINGARM)
Reserve Fuel Capacity 0.8 gal.
Weight:
Dry Weight 375 lbs.
Clutch:
Wet, multi-plate, Hydraulic Vacuum Assist (HVA) Slipper Action Clutch, hydraulic clutch lever effort
Brakes:
Front ZTL™-type brake, 8-piston, fixed caliper, 375 mm single sided, inside out, stainless steel, floating rotor

we shall see....good thing is that is DOESNT HAVE A BUELL/HARLEY motor in it...its a Rotax....
i still like chain drives, the belt will takes some getting used to....
also remember...the 146 HP is at the crank not the rear wheel...should be putting down 128 - 132 HP at the wheel....
dont think it will be shredding the Japanese Liter Bikes anytime soon (btw the 1098 ducati is ranked around LAST in all the mag comparos between the 07 litre bikes, where it goes against the Jap big four), but will be a fun bike to ride im sure....

Bah, I don't like chain or belt, personally. I like shaft drives.
