Harley Davidson Buell 1125R Experimental Motorcycle by Magpul Ronin
Harley Davidson Buell lovers need to take a look at this hot little Buell. Although an experimental motorcycle, the Magpul “Ronin” project bike is based entirely off the Harley Davidson Buell 1125R sport bike platform. The men at Magpul, state that this project is their run of a design exercise that is inspired by their interests, hobbies, and passions. The name Ronin was taken from a Samurai warrior who had lost his master and appropriately so, thus the the name “Ronin” was chosen after Harley Davidson closed the Buell Motorcycle Company in 2009.
The Buell 1125R’s high level of performance and aesthetic potential were the key ingredients for the Magpul Ronin. There are a lot of very interesting parts on this motorcycle and we will have to see what direction the Magpul Ronin will take, however, it is an interesting new direction for the Buell 1125R. Although Harley Davidson may be finished with Buell 1125R Motorcycles as a production bike, plenty of Buell riders remain and are ready to continue on with their own ideas of what their custom motorcycle should be.
Tip your hat these folks at Magpul and look over this bike in detail. To me the girder front end looks naturally integrated on the Buell 1125R and they have done a superb job with the design incorporating visual style with the girder into the frame. However, due to the highly experimental nature of Magpul Ronin project, it is not yet known if Ronin motorcycles or Magpul-designed components for the Harley Davidson based Buell 1125R will be made available for purchase. I will be releasing more information as it is known, so sign up to my RSS feed to stay in the know.

Damn I like that styling! No bullshit cowling to hide the engine, makes it look like it’s nothing more than a motor with a saddle and two wheels. Nice. A perfect ride for the apocalypse!
